Walmart has said that it has resolved an issue that was causing an online frenzy among shoppers. An apparent glitch on the company's website early this morning led to $8.85 listings for items that included computer monitors and projectors normally worth hundreds of dollars.
The country's largest retailer was selling a 24-inch high-definition Viewsonic computer monitor, an InFocus IN2124 Projector digital projectors and other products, many for $8.85. The projector is listed for $578.89 on Walmart.com and $579.99 on Newegg.com.
As customers shared the deals on social media sites like Instagram, wondering if the site was hacked, products sold out in just hours.
This would be pretty cool if we had a Walmart here, as I never really look at shops online anyway, I would have never caught onto this unless someone pointed this out to me, I would have grabbed a few and resold some or just give them to friends at this point. Would have been losing a lot of money from it though.
