| 1164750 | 2010-12-25 19:48:00 | That is a bargin.:D I cannot recall if it is NZ or maybe somewhere else but doesn't the seller have to honour the price if they have put the wrong price on a item ? Or does that apply to advertising (misleading) that gets you into the store and then you find out the true cost ? Could be worth checking out. |

Or does that apply to advertising (misleading) that gets you into the store and then you find out the true cost ? Could be worth checking out . No they dont have to sell the item at the displayed price . Under the Consumer Affairs web site: Does a trader have to sell goods at the displayed price? No, a trader doesn’t have to sell goods at the displayed price if the price is wrong . But if a trader displays or advertises goods at the wrong price, they may be breaking the Fair Trading Act by misleading consumers about the true price of goods . Where it becomes "Fun" Can a trader ask for the money back if they sell the goods at the wrong price? After the sale is completed a trader can’t ask a consumer to pay the extra amount, unless the consumer knew that there was a mistake about the price and the price was considerably less than it should have been . For example if you bought a jumper for $30 when it was supposed to be $40, then the trader can’t ask for the extra money . But if you bought a new TV that was supposed to be $500 and the trader only charged your eftpos card $50 then the trader can ask you to pay the extra amount . The actual Price of Goods and Service ( . consumeraffairs . govt . nz/for-consumers/shopping/how-you-pay/price-of-goods-and-services" target="_blank">www . consumeraffairs . govt . nz) Mind you, if they did sell it at that price, and the person had already walked out of the shop, I bet someone would be "in for it" :D |

Which worked out well for me because they told me when I first asked "no sorry, there's no holds today". |

| 1164755 | 2010-12-25 22:07:00 | A consideration here apart from the Fair Trading Act is Contract Law. "There are three basic steps to making a contract. There must be: an offer made by the buyer: "I'd like to buy this jersey" acceptance of offer by the seller: "that'll be $59.95" consideration - both sides must give something. The seller agrees to sell the jersey. The buyer agrees to pay the price of the jersey."www.consumeraffairs.govt.nz I would imagine in this case Harvey Normon would have the correct price stored on their computer and the customer would be told at the counter "thatll be $2781". The customer would end the contract as he was expecting to pay only $278. It would be realised that a genuine mistake had been made and if Harvey Norman took immediate remedial action there would be little point in taking action under the Fair Trading Act. I would hate to be the red faced ticket writer. |
