Scored a $200 coffee grinder for $12 on a flash sale in March, and I still do not trust it
Back in March I was scrolling a deals site at 1am and saw a Burr grinder listed at $12 with free shipping from a store I had never heard of. I figured it was a price glitch, so I bought two and held my breath. A week later both boxes showed up at my door in Ohio, sealed and brand new. Three weeks after that the store vanished and the domain now redirects to a vitamin shop. Has anyone else grabbed a flash glitch that actually shipped, or did I just get lucky before they caught it?

I saw a YouTube video about this whole world of "glitch hauling" where people camp on deal forums hoping a store messes up a listing. The guy said most big retailers just cancel your order and send a "we're sorry" email, but small shops that don't have the software to catch it end up shipping the stuff because it's cheaper than fighting it. That matches your story, since your store just ghosted afterward instead of emailing you. Makes me wonder how many of those tiny shops are actually just dropshippers running on a shoestring.
