Price marked goods?

Question

the ticket bar on shelf's are marked at one price, lets say .99p but when you get to the till they tell you the price is £1.09. I believe they must sell the item at the advertised price. Is this correct?

Answer 1

Yes for sure they must.

Answer 2

that's correct and some stores will give it for free if the shelf is marked wrong.

Answer 3

Yes it is... A case some years ago about a car on a forecourt was being sold for £1999 ... the end 9 fell off as it was stuck to the windscreen and the buyer sued the garage and bought it for £199.

Most shops will do it without argument.. but the price it says is the price you pay.. this is English civil law.

However... any shop can refuse to serve you... this is also allowed.. so if you got stroppy they could just say.. well we won't serve you anyway... If the till person makes a fuss.. always get the manager.

Hope that helps

Answer 4

Nope, they could sell it at £100 if they wanted. The price on display is basically what you offer to the shop. They can then refuse this offer. I think it's some kind of old law.

Answer 5

Yup !

Thats right

Answer 6

yes they have to give you the price it says, it happened to me in sainsburys the other day and i told them, they checked and said they have to give me the price it said even though it was just wine put in the wrong place.

Answer 7

The price on the ticket is merely "an invitation to treat" They don't have to sell the item at that price if they have made a mistake.
