Long_Shot1986 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Howdy, Got a new email from Compusa listing online specials available Weds (tomorrow). One thing they have listed is a Lacey Extenernal 250g harddrive for $14.99. When I click on the link, it shows the unit at $149.99. Now, I'm no stranger to doorbusters, etc. But this is striking me as a typo, not a doorbuster due to comparible models and their doorbuster prices. (more like $89.99) Will Compusa have to honor this ad, even if it's a typo, or face a bait-n-switch lawsuit? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long_Shot1986 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Instinct. Paranoia. And having dealt with and worked at stores like this. I could be wrong, and then everyone is happy. But if I'm right... What is the next step? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurnee Al Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 If the price is wrong they will not have to honor the ad. Period. All they need to say is that it was a mistake. There's no bait-and-switch involved if they don't try to sell you something else in it's place. Good luck finding a lawyer that'll take your case. Just hope that you get that price, and if not move on. Good luck and let us know what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long_Shot1986 Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 they email a retraction saying the ad got out before it was finished, but the only change was the hardrive. I wonder is someone is unemployed today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
