They will cancel your order.

If the price in error was within reason for such a TV, then they would be obligated to fulfill the order, but because this is obviously an error, your order will not be processed, and your money will be returned.

Yea so it's an error thats their stupid fault.  about 15 years ago here in Aussie land big stores would put adds in the paper and magazines with the intention of missleading the public EG a $1000 TV for say 100 bucks.  Yea sure the next day the shop is SWAMPED with people wanting that TV so the store owners say sorry it is a mistake.  The store owner now has a shop full of people for the next week all because he has made a false add.  Most people will just walk out but others will have a look round the shop and buy stuff.

Consumer protection (ACCC over here) put laws in place to combat this and stated that any advertised price MUST be sold at that price till the add is removed, reprinted and an apology placed in news papers reporting the mistake.

If the sale went through not sure how it works in the U.S. but I say you may have this in the bag Yama.  (probably not but for your sake I hope so)

Basically, as I noted above, if it is within reason then the sale should go through. However, a $1000 TV for $10 is an OBVIOUS error, and therefore cannot reasonably be expected to be fulfilled.

Damn you Aaron!!!!  Why didn't you get me one too?!?!?!?

QuoteOur Price:$1,699.99

:(


Anyway...  I can't remember what the item was (cell phone), but Best Buy (I think) recently discovered that they were selling the newly released phones for $100 less than the advertised price.  They found out within a day and corrected the price.  The spokesperson said that the lucky customers that got them at the lower price got to keep them at that price.

Hopefully you have the same luck.  :cheers:

Personally, if I REALLY wanted the deal, I would call BestBuy and spout off laws and such, but I'd never file a lawsuit....  it's a waste of time.  Besides, you'd have to pay the lawyers too.  Kinda defeats the purpose of saving money on the TV.
