Amazon’s Echo Spot is apparently free right now (Update: aaand it’s gone)

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Update: Nothing gold can stay, Ponyboy
It was fun while it lasted, but both Spots are back to their original $129 asking price — and the white version still appears to be
totally sold out
It looks as if the whole thing was a pricing mistake, rather than extra generosity on the part of Jeff B
So, nice work if you nabbed one in time
Keep those fingers crossed that it actually gets delivered. I like the Spot
It my favorite Echo
And due to what may well just be an error on Amazon part, the screen-sporting smart speaker is currently showing up for $0.00 — for those
who can access it, at least
Some users are already registering it as Out of Stock
The black version of the device is still listed as $99 — a much less killer deal, but still $29 down from the original asking price
It could be a pricing error, or maybe Amazon is trying to get rid of that old stock for some reason
Heck, maybe the company just really wants to get the Alexa delivery system in as many homes as humanly possible
This is certainly one way to do it
Chances seem decent it may never even ship — those who did order one (or three or four) are seeing a still pending delivery date.In
either case, we&ve reached out to Amazon and will update when we hear back.
