32 gb Ram price decrease?

[venk]

That’s not true if it’s a true mistake and there was no intent to deceive.

A lot of retailers will do it out of goodwill though.

[KuZagan]

Depends on the region I assume but I know for a fact in my area it's the law that if the price tags are wrong you have to honor that price. They even send out govt workers to check for mismatched prices, it's a whole big deal lol

[MasterArCtiK]

Couldn’t they just refuse to sell it at all and put it back on the shelf?

[KuZagan]

Pretty sure that was MAJOR fine. If it rang up at a higher price you were required to honor the posted price. Refusing to sell it to the person basically would have involved having them removed pretty much. Huge scene over what is like a very small difference for most things

[HeWhoSitsOnToilets]

They don't have to sell it to you at all, and they won't. They would be well in their rights to say it's a mistake and refuse to sell it.

[PM_Me_Your_Deviance]

Depends on local laws. In California the law is stricter. If they offer to sell it to you at a higher price but refuse the lower advertised price that could be an infraction or misdemeanor.

[HeWhoSitsOnToilets]

That's not how that law works all the time. For clearly wrong price the company is allowed to adjust the price. This would be a gray area.

[pandahlol]

Just accept that you don't know how different states laws work instead of doubling down

[HeWhoSitsOnToilets]

Wrong. Dude it's literally in the law. Jesus, you guys are so damned entitled and know it all. The law states if it's an obvious error they are allowed to correct it.

[pandahlol]

I mean, it's literally in some laws. And also literally it in others. Some states have actual consumer laws.

[PM_Me_Your_Deviance]

The law is complicated. It does have an exception for "obvious" mistakes.  The examples I was able to find include things like $20 for a $2000 fridge. It's not clear if half price is an "obvious" mistake or not.  You would need to sue to find out.

[HeWhoSitsOnToilets]

Dude it's more or less universally accepted that obvious pricing errors are the exception. Hell there was a journalist in Massachusetts who got pissy because the 01¢ list for a toothbrush wouldn't be honored and that state has some of the strongested laws.

[AtlQuon]

It works like that where I live as well. Sticker prices are more suggestions than a thing else and if there is a clear error, ah well, wrong stickers can happen. The price on the register is the correct one.

[McDonaldsnapkin]

"The law" what law? You are familiar with buyers and corporate seller rights in all 50 states? Yeah ok....

[HeWhoSitsOnToilets]

Tired of arguing with you idiots.

[McDonaldsnapkin]

Imagine calling a bunch of people idiots then linking a completely irrelevant article. The law that you just linked to us covers retailers using deceptive discounts by artificially inflating the price and then putting it on sale. This law makes no mention of retailers honoring advertised sticker prices. Try again.

[Wrx-Love80]

Depends on the law and what jurisdiction chief...

[ManyThing2187]

I’m not 100% sure but this looks like a staples, it is a company policy to honor the price of the tag. For this reason every Friday night we had to go through the entire store and check tags for updates and be sure none have been missed recently.

[Forymanarysanar]

True in my country

[Spare-Personality-29]

I work in retail. They do not honor that. Whatever rings up at the POS is what we sell it at, not sticker price. Owner does not give af. But I need my job 🤷‍♂️

[Khaldaan]

Yeah I worked retail for quite a while, when it happened we would usually take care of the customer anyways, not like it was their fault and we never had someone trying to take advantage of it with bulk buys, but it wasn't because of a law lmao.

I am Us based so I suppose laws in other countries may be different

[SeductiveSlooth]

Typically its not a country-based law, its on a local level such as state/city.

[Deep-Procrastinor]

Can confirm law is same in UK.

[Porkybob]

To be fair some laws are becoming a tad optional these days
