    there is no switch, while I agree its shady, its not a bait and switch.

    the goods remain the same, the price is increased, that's NOT bait and switch.

    It is a form of bait and switch by baiting with a price then switching to another.

    There is no need to use semantics to defend crooks.

    No its not, its maybe false advertising (at worst), or heaven forbid, a genuine mistake, all done pre contract OP can walk away if they want.

    And there is no need to be quite so dramatic...

    To advertise - To make a fact or quality known

    ahhh and now you don't argue the point, you attack the person.

    not wanting to derail the OP's thread, I'll leave you too it.

    OP, Doozergirl and ComicGeek have given the best advice, VAT on new-builds is notoriously difficult, speak to the developers.
