Incorrect prices in catalogue...

If a company has an item listed in a catalogue at a very low price, which is obviously an error, where does the consumer stand on purchasing this product.
For example one company similar to Argos has a flatscreen TV listed in their catalogue for £2.98. This is a blatant error as i believe it should read £289 (in line with the price of similar TV's in the catalogue)
Is the company obliged to sell it to you at the advertised price?

...no, sorry. Would have been a great bargain

Nope. And 99.9% of companies now have a clause in the T&Cs that a contract is only formed when they have accepted your money; until then any offer is 'an invitation to treat'.0

No they are not obliged to sell you it, its a invitation to treat. They are obliged to not charge you the higher price though if you dont agree with the difference0

Are you sure it's not £2.89 a week? :cool:0
