| 516193 | 2007-01-15 10:09:00 | This is the price that I found for a 3 pack of phone/PDA styli from the Sony Style NZ website. My question is: Can I go into the shop in Auckland and ask them for this product and pay the retail price which hapens to be one cent??? Are they legally liable to provide me with the said goods at the retail price mentioned? www.sonystyle.co.nz |

Any acceptance by Sony shall be conditional upon receipt of payment of the Contract Price pursuant to clause 7 of the Terms .

| 516199 | 2007-01-15 11:21:00 | I was joking. Any listed price is only an offer to sell, It doesn't have to be honoured, On the same token the custmer is only "offering to buy" at the listed price, and can be refused, even if the buyer offers more then the listed price. Buyer and seller can withdraw their offer at any time of the negotiation. It only becomes an issue when its false advertising. |

| 516201 | 2007-01-15 20:59:00 | I was joking . Any listed price is only an offer to sell, It doesn't have to be honoured . Actually, it is "an offer to treat" not an offer to sell, which would in fact be enforceable because offer and acceptance form a binding contract, though I agree you can't force a vendor to sell to you . The seller would have to have a squeaky-clean reason for refusing though, as the Human Rights Act or whatever Act looks after discriminatory behaviour might produce a different opinion . In this context "treat" means "deal with or apply process" (some might also say "negotiate") hence a genuine pricing error is unenforceable, whereas a false advertisement i . e . a come-on with hidden additional costs is illegal . You still can't force the vendor to sell the item to you at the lower price, but you do have redress via the law . Unless they are ridiculous, most supermarkets honour pricing errors as an act of goodwill e . g . last week's special still on the shelf . On the other hand, car dealers are less generous!
