6pm.com Hiccups Great Deals - Items Over $1,000 Sold @ $49.99!


Deals were runnning rampant on Friday at a popular online shopping website, 6pm.com, a subsidiary of Zappos. The site had mis-priced almost all items at $49.99. Products on 6pm.com most always sell for over $1,000.

"When we figured out the mistake was happening, we had to shut down the site for a bit until we got the pricing problem fixed," says Aaron Magness, director of brand marketing and business development for parent company Zappos Development.

"While we’re sure this was a great deal for customers, it was inadvertent, and we took a big loss (over $1.6 million) selling so many items so far under cost."

"However, it was our mistake. We will be honoring all purchases that took place on 6pm.com during our mess up," he says. "We apologize to anyone that was confused and/or frustrated during our little hiccup, and thank you all for being such great customers."

Magness states - "Let's just say this was not a boring weekend for us."
