are they allowed to do this?

Did you REALLY....give a serious response to that?

There is no specific law about overstickering but it is bad practice because they could be contravening the price marking regulations.

How should price indications be given?
When selling to the general public, all pricing information must be clearly legible, unambiguous, easily identifiable and inclusive of VAT and any additional taxes.

The problem in retail is that if you pay peanuts and treat your staff like !!!! they work accordingly !!

I found a first edition of Shakespears plays in a bookshop once!
It said 3 groats inside the cover, but they wanted to charge me £21, so I refused it and walked out.

You can laugh, but that actually happens in my bookshop!

(Not the shakespeare 1st ed bit, the "It was only 2 shillings new!" bit)

Tell them that if they can produce the correct coinage, minted in the year of publication then you might be able to come to a deal.
