ok, i'm dumb, how can looking at shelf edge labels help when you don't know whats going to be scanned through at the till? or are you just checking SEL's against products marked with a price, like dvds and pre packed meat? also, can anyone point me in the right direction of sh&fting tesco's as much as, they are my nemisis, in a theoretical alledged way of course

Reading the first few posts on page one of this thread may help you.

I had 32 case of this coke....none were mispriced......why.....how did i get them,then

Well basically, the last coke offer was £6.95, and the coke was flashed £6.95, the next batch came in flashed £7.25........but were put out under the old sel of £6.95, as the people putting them out didnt realise that a new sel should have gone out with the new stock.

While I agree that some misprices are "robbing" people, the coke is not an example of that, as the price should really be £7.25............it was the SEL that was wrong.

I never claimed I'd been overcharged, I told them I'd been charged more than was stated on the SEL.

OK, so you were charged more than was stated on the SEL. (you don't tell us what you were charged BTW)

You state that the SEL was 6.95, so that's an overcharge, right? Am I losing it here or what, all I ask is that you come back to me on this one?

Wonder how much this rumoured change is costing them - they should put the money into checking their prices - only took me 5 mins to check an electrical dept today and find an ood sel, shouldn't be difficult.

Hope you've posted it on the misprice only thread then.

he said he wasnt overcharged he said the price was different than the sel
the sel had the old price
the cokes had the right prices on

was it him that found a camcorder

The boxes were price marked £7.25, therefore they scanned at that price, old SEL left on @ £6.95. Therefore he was charged a higher price than either on the product or on the shelf (on the occasion the higher price was on the product) but TESCO were displaying it for £6.95

Read post #1, that is what constitutes an OVERCHARGE!?

i.e. Steak SEL 13.XX Pack Marked 16.XX

How's that any different from this COKE scenario?!?!?!?!?!?!

n.b The lack of further contribution to this from leadhead the original poster who knows he wrote a pile of poo

Not a new one I am afraid so it was already posted. Am only too glad to contribute if I find anything new. It was one that I had my eye on, knew they would mess up, had too many stacks of them about

There are two SELs one right one wrong, re was charged the correct one so tecnically he was not overcharged, however the failure to remove an old sel means that he can claim his money back, by not being overcharged.

It doesn't really matter does it.
