[QUOTE="Kage Sama, post: 227527, member: 8875"]While I am not a business lawyer (nor do I play one on TV), I know that when I used to work in retail, we had to be VERY careful when we remarked stock with a higher price. If a customer found one with an old price sticker on it, we were obligated to sell it to them at that price by company policy, as they considered it an offer by us to sell it at a specific price and the buyer had accepted that price in good faith to complete the transaction. Was it an absolute "contract" under the law? Nope. But, it made good business sense not to torque off a customer and what we might lose in a $3-5 dollar sale, we would more than make up in good will and repeat business. Of course, our parent company took a dim view of us not completely remarking inventory when there was a price change, (no, duh), but in general, customer satisfaction (within reason) was more important. As with anything though, your mileage may vary when dealing with other retailers.[/QUOTE]
