[Matt_16v]

As far as I know, they will have to sell it to you at that price, otherwise they could face propsecution on product misdescriptions??

[wavy]

i rang to check they said out of stock
i made them check every shop in the uk saying i will collect it but they say no stock in any shop in the uk

gutted

[Matt_16v]

blatenly a lie so they don't loose so much money. Get kicking some ass n say that you WANT one at that price or else.
lol

[wavy]

lol i have tried kicking up a fuss
they insist all out of stock
im trying to find a direct number for pcworld so i can ask if they have any with out going through the national number
then play the mad customer part :twisted:
for that price its worth ringin and moaning :lol:

[Matt_16v]

say that you know your stuff and you WILL prosecute. also insist on speaking to a manager.

:lol:

[FATBOY]

As far as I know, they will have to sell it to you at that price, otherwise they could face propsecution on product misdescriptions??

nope that is wrong! read the small print! they cover there asses fully regarding mispriced items through there internet site! they wont honour it....

[wavy]

i rang again to ask for an alternative
they wont offer any :cry:
the nearest they have is a Samsung 40" £1400 or summat but web only price is £849 but the tv is no where near as good a spec as the sony

sod it nothing lost

[nyk]

I would call into PC world at Oldham and see if they ahve it on stock!! :wink:

Then you have something to go back with, or ask them to advise when it is in stock, and can your order be placed as a pre order.

:)

[wavy]

good luck matt :D
its worth a punt
but u aint got a chance




if u do get 1 i will be on the case haha :twisted:

[MrAtego]

They'll have it covered in the small print, all companies tightened up with there online shopping when Argos and Kodak got caught out a few years back (I know, I benefited from the kodak one through a link on a website, £200's of camera equipment for £90!!)

[AS]

as far as I know an advertised price is legally an invitiation to treaty ( it prompts you to offer the sum advertised, the retailer accepts and then you have a contract)

But the retailer has the right to refuse to sell to you

mostly though out of goodwill if they have marked a product incorrectly they tend to honour that sales price, and then fix it quickly so as not to get caught again.

so, to my knowledge, if they refuse to sell at that price, legally you have no grounds to argue. . . .

:?

[Allan]

yup as on the web its an invite to buy and they can cancel that invite at any time !

i got into this argument as i ordered a 3 grand laptop which was on offer at 1200 ;) and play.com wouldnt sell it me, i spend the money on my williams in the end lol
