It pays to look for mistakes on Amazon. I just got a Manfrotto monopod with swivel head and quick release for $33. The head alone is 30 bucks. So I ordered it figuring I'd give it a shot. Of course, all I recieved was the monopod without the head, but a quick email to them of the mistake got the head shipped out that same day. Needless to say, it's no longer available for that price.
So, exactly what was the price error? I went to all the links in this thread and they're all showing normal prices.
Earlier this morning I was able to get the order through for a 20D body only for $600.... it is still a valid order, and the fact that they have corrected the price since then gives me a bit of confidence... I'm thinking that if it was a scam, they wold have left it low and try to scam more people.
1Ds was selling for $800 at that time (actually, it would not go through) Right now it is at $8000.

The Mark II was selling for only $800 for the body.
The Rebel 300D was selling for $450 for the kit.
The 20D was selling for $800 for the kit and $600 for the body.
The Rebel XT for $650 for the kit.
(Last year) When Amazon had their mistake for the Kodak camera (see mavrik)... I ordered two. At first they cancelled the order stating it was a mistake. I called customer service and explained the situation that "I didn't realize that the camera was actually a lot more expensive". They said that it was a clerical error. In the end, I received a $50 gift certificate for my troubles.
Not bad. I would have preferred the cameras but $50 isn't bad :)
