Epi Pro 5'er

I started to buy one of these out of sheer curiosity. I just paid more for a new set of strings! I predict we'll see a few of these in the classifieds in a few weeks with a "slight" markup, or on evilbay with a considerable markup...
 
For the people saying "no way it's real" or "too good to be true", here's the inside scoop:

It is a typo, and we are taking advantage of it because occasionally the system doesn't catch its own mistakes, and occasionally the vendor decides to honor a crazy deal just to avoid the added costs of paperwork and customer service.

So NO, the vendor did not intentionally offer the bass for this price, but YES, there is a reason we are buying it anyway.

For example, a year or so ago there was a slip-up at one vendor where their online system allowed people to "stack" coupons. I got a nice expensive item for literally half price, and other people got even bolder and stacked so many coupons they got up to 75% off.

It was just a computer glitch, and you bet your butt it was "for real".
 
Hmmm,... it seems like they may have already identified their mistake. I wonder if we'll get a cancellation or "our mistake" message. It'd be pretty sweet to get something for practically nothing, but I'd totally understand & accept a cancellation.
