Amazon - Save $130,000 on Jet saws!

[DaWoodster]

Can't hardly get a better savings, I'm buying both... total savings $260,000 +/-

I'm guessing they accidentally put in the government's list price

Sorry, guess I'm a little bored this AM... it won't happen again

typo..? ... No way that costs that much.

I bought both.
Can't beat a savings like that.

In for two.

I'm sure it's intentional so it comes up when people search for percentage off.

Bought a handful. I'll be filthy rich once I get these on eBay.

Bought a couple and listed on Craigslist for only 80% of list price.

See you later GJ - I'm rich, *****!

1 gigabit (Gb) = 131,072.00 kilobytes (KB)

Must be the upper limit of pricing on amazon due to how must space is allocated for storing this value. Hooray math

Yup... that's 2^17, so it must have been stored in an 18-byte signed field at some point. I doubt Amazon would do that as they'd likely have prices in a word or double word, but maybe.

I work in IT and you guys both made me say "Nerds!" lol

I highly doubt it. A double or floating point in C can store a number much greater that 131,072.00. A number that would take up a Gb would be incredibly long.

You wouldn't keep prices in a floating point number due to the inability to accurately represent cents. It's most common to keep the price in cents or mils.

This explains the high prices you sometimes see:
