If it is a misprint I wouldn't expect them to honor the price.We have removed your signature - please contact the forum team if you are not sure why - Forum Team0

Actually, it's funny, because even though it's a misprint, they have to honour the price. I've got so many discounts this way before only because I used to work in a bookstore and if we labelled the books with the wrong price sticker and the customer saw it, they had the right to buy that book for that price.0

They don't have to honor it. The company can either honor it OR withdraw the product from sale. Most companys do honor it though0

No they don't, you just believe a common consumer myth. They can simply refuse to take your order, or cancel your order and refund any time prior to dispatch.We have removed your signature - please contact the forum team if you are not sure why - Forum Team0 -

actually they dont,any marked price be it in print in store or on the internet is only an "offer to treat" and can be withdrawn at any time,as long as there wasnt an intent to mislead.
Most mistakes are also covered by something known as "e and o excepted)0 -
