Hiya

This link should help explain more... Do shops have to sell at the marked price?

Some will sell at the lower price as a gesture of goodwill. When I used to work for a catalogue company we had a number of silly pricing mistakes made, £1000 which were supposed to be reduced BY £50 in a sale instead being reduced TO £50. In those cases they honoured any orders for 1 or possibly 2 sets that got through before the mistake was noticed (cancelled the orders for 100+ units that we would get) but any future orders got told the correct price and given the choice to buy or not.
