Dee Man Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Watching people throw cigarette butts out their cars as the parts of Australia that aren't burning to the ground sit like a tinder box just waiting to go up in flames. It should be legal to pull these people from their cars and chop their hands off. The Saudis have got the right idea. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Under the consumer code, any seller is required to sell the product at the price displayed even if it is due to a labelling error. However if the price is clearly an obvious mistake, then the vendors can refuse to sell, BFM TV said. If there's been a mistake with the pricing, you're required to sell it at that price.

Sounds similar to what bookies call "a palpable error", say if they offered 100/1 on Barcelona beating Stenhousemuir instead of 1/100 by mistake. Sometimes they pay out, other times they don't, it seems a bit arbitrary. Edited January 12, 2020 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the thing about workplaces having a recommended minimum temperature of 16°C. It's only a recommendation, so there's nothing to stop an employer turning the heating off and telling everyone to wear multiple layers if they want. (Yes, that's from experience) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’ve actually answered your own question. If there’s been an obvious mistake with the advertised price , the prospective seller effectively has the choice of either (a) selling the item at the advertised price or (b) keeping the item , in which latter case the prospective buyer isn’t entitled to insist on being able to buy the item at the advertised price.

Shotgun Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) From my (admittedly long ago) time in retail, the rule was to prevent misleading advertising. If you claimed you were selling something for £99 but when the punters arrived simply told them "Yeah sorry, it's £299, you'd be on the hook for fraud. However, if it was a genuine mistake - an error by the typesetter at the paper for example, you got a pass. That said, the "You have to sell it to me at that price" concept was firmly ingrained in the British psyche. There was an even an episode of Coronation St. where Alf Roberts the grocer was forced to sell something at a bargain price because it was mistakenly labeled. The thing is, no, the retailler is under no obligation to sell anything at any price. They can simply refuse to sell you something because they don't like your face. Wouldn't be very good business but unless you're a member of a protected minority there's no legal reason why they couldn't. I worked in a jeweller's and one time we had a ring in the window selling for £3000. However there was a fleck of dirt on the label which, if you squinted, made it look as if it was £30.00. (We never used the ".00" on any of our labels.) I spent the best part of an hour arguing with a gammon who insisted we HAD to sell it to him at that price. The good news is, he's probably dead now.

Mark Connolly Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 IIRC the advertised price is an invitation to treat, rather than an offer to sell. The buyer then makes an offer to pay that price, which requires the seller to agree for the contract to take place. If there isn't a huge difference between the mistakenly advertised price and the real price, most places will go ahead with the sale for goodwill purposes, but they aren't required to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a riveting subject. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Went back to a woman's house last night, pumped her, and as I was leaving I discovered that we actually shagged in her spare bedroom. I've never been so offended, am I not good enough to get into her actual bed?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
