Amazon: is this the best deal ever?

I See Stuff Like This A Lot... 

I shop at ebuyer a lot, and use their catalog feature. I tend to regularly see alerts telling me that a price has been reduced by 5 or 6p. Or a promotion to save 20p in a 'happy hour' sale.

Sometimes promotions are messed up, but when you stock as much stuff as Amazon, it's bound to happen sometimes.

Just the opposite 

Usually it's the other way around. Buy a $1400 TV for only $14.00.

I can just see some hubby shouting out "dear, we only need to spend another 99,975 to save 2 p".

But but but 

What are the restrictions that apply??! This sounds too good to be true, I'm sure they get you in the small print!
