amazon mistake or bonus? 12 condoms for .75

by violet blue on July 6, 2009

This might be a mistake or it could be Amazon’s contribution to making safer sex more accessible: here, right now you can buy 12 Durex Maximum Love Condoms (great brand, thin condom that actually a significant number of people like a lot) for $.75. An the expiration date is two years out, so they’re not old… Seems like a lucky typo to me that’s worth taking advantage of. The only other sex-related thing I know about on Amazon that’s cheaper is my safer sex Kindle book, The Modern Safer Sex Guide (for $.25). Could be a good pairing: the guide plus 12 condoms for a dollar!

Right below, they also have a three pack special of the 12 Durex Maximum Love, 100 Crown Okamoto Super thin (yes, one hundred of them), and a Durex variety pack of 60 for only $22.23. That’s a lot of condoms for about 13 cents each.

I ordered! With shipping and everything it was under $3.
Thanks for posting this. If I could afford a kindle I’d rock your book too.

This is totally an issue for me! I like to put Amazon’s product ads for my friend’s books on my web site. And then sometimes I have to take them down in shame when his or her book is going for, like, less than a dollar and I feel too embarassed for them to keep it up.

I love CondomMan. I haven’t bought condoms in a brick-and-mortar store for years thanks to their awesome prices. However, even the prices on their own site aren’t as low as this, even with free shipping! Holy crap!
