<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 2056809, member: 31533"]Probably not a bait and switch. That requires both having a priced item to get you into the store and being sold something different (which is it's intent) and not allowing you to get the item you came in for (usually it is said it is out of stock or sold out, sorry..... even if you came in first that day... It is never said, from my understanding that it was a mistaken price). But advertisers can blame a mistake in pricing and honestly say it was a mistake. You'd have to prove they did it on purpose. Some retailers let the items go for the price and then change it if they can or issue a correction in the paper or whatever, but I don't think they have to do this. You would perhaps have to prove intent to deceive. But it is frustrating for a shop to not honor their deal. I still remember having that issue with some stationary as a kid and feeling like it was such a rip-off. But these things happen, so... chalk it up to possible mistake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
