Slightly off topic...
Back when Sony Video Cameras were in the $1200 range I went to Circuit City because they had a Sunday ad in the newspaper for $899... thing is they would not sell me one for $899... only $1249.
Had the ad in hand and could see I was not getting anywhere... apparently the ad was supposed to state 1 only at this price and it did not...
So I decided to pay the $1199 and started writing down everyone I had spoke with and the manager asked what I was doing... said I was just making sure I had all my facts straight for the lawsuit and didn't want it to be a surprise when he was served.
Explained to him I had to suffer damage from his misleading advertising and the quickest way to do this was to buy under protest and let a Judge decide...
I got the advertised price and before I had left the store there were signs going up on the doors saying the prices in the paper were door busters with quantities limited...
The details are always in the fine print... it there is fine print.
Once put the wrong price on a car for sale on the car lot... we had two identical Ford Courier Pickups... we honored the price as advertised and I had switched signs...
