Umm blanket statements like this are not always true. Many states REQUIRE the store to sell it at the price that was advertised. (These laws got onto the books to allow the scanner only pricing, remember when they used to tag ever item?) Some states will even penalize the retailer if they refuse to sell it. |

Advertising is one thing. A mismarked price tag is another. I know of no laws in any state that require to sell at a price if a legit mistake is made. None. If a store is intentionally misprices or misleads then there are plenty of laws to cover that but still requiring to sell at a particular price ~ I know of no such laws.

That's why there is a disclaimer in every ad or promotional literature, to the effect of,"We reserve the right to limit quanities. Errors are subject to correction." If you will look on the bottom of usually the back page in small print on any stores advertising, some form of this will be printed to CYA. ------------------------------------------ I'm sorry could you repeat that, I'm not fluent in STUPID! |

We are talking the same thing. In some states price tags are considered advertised pricing. (was not talking about a mailer.) Now you do. Michigan REQUIRES the seller to sell it at the shelf price if it did not scan at that plus 5 times the difference up to 5 bux. They refuse? Its $250 plus atty fees. No mention of legit mistake or not... http://www.michigan.gov/ag/0,1607,7-164--134114--,00.html There are others...

Nice Buy! I wouldn't loose any sleep over the ribbing you've taken on this. The retailer is responsible for setting and programming their prices and of you benefit more power to you. In my business, I occessional underbid work or mis qoute something and I always stand behind my price, even if I later find it wasn;t a profitable project. MODIECAST SIGS - Yes, I have a few... |

Theft is not the issue here. He asked the manager and he ok'd it.
Here in IL, (i know, i had it happen) if we mark an item at a set price on the shelf we are REQUIRED to sell it at that price. Sometimes stuff gets mismarked, sometimes stuff gets overlooked. Retailers know about this, and they build it into their other pricing. Everything else in that store is priced with this in mind. They figure out how much they lose on average per year due to theft, errors, damage and others and build it in. You will pay for it, just not on that item. Is it wrong to change price tags on an item and misrepresent prices? Yes it is. Is it wrong to ask if a price is correct, then being told it is to purchase it at marked price, No it is not. You got a good deal, now offer a Karma and share  Kevin Karma? Karma is just justice without the satisfaction. |

Fair and square in my rule book. I had a buddy in Alabama that bought several bricks of .22 for .99 cents per brick. He, too, asked if the price marked was correct, and was told by the mgr that 99 cents was the correct price. Double checked, same thing.
He bought all they had. |

too much time on people's hands. the guy got a deal, it was verified and agreed upon by the store. the fact that we extrapolate larger moral ideals/debates from a mundane situation is absolutely hilarious.

They may not HAVE to but I don't remember ever being denied the benefit of a mis-marked price anywhere in Michigan so I assumed that it was the law.  SIG P-6 SIG Mosquito Glock 26 NRA Member |

At our walmart if you purchase an item and the price is wrong you can go to the service counter and get $2.00 back per item. Does that mean He can go back and make $0.50 on each box?

Good for you. I cant get over all the negative posts because you got such a good deal. Who cares about Wall Mart. You got to be kidding. They pay their help cheap and have been fined by the Labor Department for not paying overtime to the illegal aliens cleaning their stores at night. Whether you asked for the manager or not their nothing wrong with your moral compass for paying the price marked on an item in a store. In some states that is the law whether it is mis-marked or not. |
