BMX price wrong

KIRSTY89

I purchased a bmx last night for £38.99 I know cheap maybe to cheap, anyway I got an email today saying it was cancelled as it was out of stock so I phoned the company and they said no there was a pricing error and to phone the partner company, I did and they said it was out of stock and would issue a refund I don’t want a refund I want the bike for the price I paid!! I’ve found the same bike on other sites sold by the partner company. Where do I stand?? Thanks

How much should it have cost?
If you knew (or should reasonably have known) it was a mistake you will struggle to argue this.

Mistakes happen and the law provides that nobody should gain or lose from a genuine mistake.

No I didn’t know just thought it was an offer on for Black Friday. I don’t know how much I should have cost they didn’t tell me

If the bike is normally £50-100 you may be able to swing it.

If the bike should have been £389.99 then you won’t get it.

You don’t need to be a BMX genius to know bikes aren’t usually £38.99. You tried your luck, as we all would, but the shop has no obligation to sell to you for a pricing mistake.

Well they have made an error and spotted it. So it's time for you to slip on your big girl pants, suck it up and move on.

The same bike elsewhere should give you a rough guide as to the 'correct' price

I want the bike for the price I paid!! . . . Where do I stand?

Have you checked their T&Cs? You may find that the contract isn't formed until the goods are actually dispatched and that if it was a mistake they can cancel the order.
