I think you're grossly underestimating the margins of a company ... a sell price of €1275 will mean a cost price of nearer €600. After costs of business then that'll be a profit of around €300+Jenni x0

Depends on what is being sold - I know that margins for come types of electronics are very tight for instance. But regardless - the principal stands - it would not be just to put in place a law that forces a company to sell goods at a loss because of a typo.2

I absolutely agree with your last sentence - and is why most companies have an E&OE clause (as I mentioned in a previous reply).
