Wild Price Drops on Walmart Site Cause Stir First, there was Black Friday. Then came Cyber Monday. This week, some online shoppers found what might be called Accidental Wednesday. Certain products on the Walmart website displayed wildly low prices Wednesday morning, such as a kayak for $11 or a treadmill for $33, according to news reports and Walmart. There was even a $579 projector available for $8.85. "We did, in fact, experience a technical error that caused some items on our website to display incorrect pricing," said Ravi Jariwala, a Walmart spokesman. Our focus is really just on getting this resolved as quickly as possible. Information on the error that crashed prices through the floor was sketchy late Wednesday afternoon. Although Walmart said its site was not hacked, it had not determined the cause. Mr. Jariwala said the company suspected an internal technical error. Sales orders were not suspended, but he said customers might have trouble browsing the site while the problem was being fixed. Mr. Jariwala said the company was still "working through" whether it would honor orders placed for the morning's deals. If prices had also been accidentally inflated, as well - there was a report of a $369 FurReal Friends monkey, for example - Mr. Jariwala said that he had not seen it. The company has made a concerted push toward web sales during this early holiday season, doubling its website's offerings, to five million items, compared with last year. But on Wednesday, it just meant there were so many more items for the company to double-check.
