i bought some items from a website

hiya i aint sure if this is the right place to ask a question but i will go ahead and if a moderator can move it to the right section i would be grateful. anyway my question is.. i went to a webiste and i purchased some computer memory and as i did so there was no price listed for the computer memory i purchased 10 ddr2 800 memory and paid for the postage through paypal which was £2.89.. does the site still have to honor the sale as its not my fault there was a price error on the website.. and i paid for the item straight away.

can you guys let me know where i stand ..

Thanx :T

    You purchased something with no price listed?

    Ahhh.

    The site does not have to honour it, no, as it's a genuine mistake. But they can't charge you the full amount without your consent, that would be theft.

    It's a clear and obvious mistake which you've tried to take advantage. As the previous poster stated they do not have to honour the sale.
  • lol well it was worth a try :-p)

    If you'd ordered 1 or 2, they may have even honoured it or offered it to you at a discounted rate. As you've obviously tried to take advantage by buying loads to sell on at a profit they're unlikely to do this.

    Greed rarely works.
