Pashley26 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 two english pounds... You thought this was a genuine reduction?!?!Yes.I thought it was a genuine reduction, my exact thoughts were that new ones were coming and and he'd sold no gold rims because people want pink and green these days.But then again, I'm a little bit simple when it comes to stuff like that...

RossMcd Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 if £2 was the price stated at the time and people paid the two pound then trials uk kinda have to give it to them. I know someone who bought a TV from tesco for £2 because the decimal point was wrongly placed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamWood! Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 i was telling my my dad about this topic and he said if they have paid for it the shop has to give it to them for the amount that was on the discription.Also he said when driving down south last week on the forcourt of a honda dealership he saw a 08 plate civic for a little over £2000, somebody would be in the shit if sombody went in with 2 grand for the car.

mr_malcolm Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 to be honest most online shops are run manulely so im sure you will find that no funds have been taken from your account until some one there end clears it.If it hasn't been cleared his end and the money has not acctually left your bank yet, there is no reason for him to send you the rim.Also going a little bit further here, if some one wasnt happy about it and decided to get trading standards agency envloved they would more then likely be on dans side as it is an obviouse pricing error and is way under what he pays for the rims to start with.

Once the sale has been completed however its done and dusted, nothing they can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the sale has been completed however its done and dusted, nothing they can doBut then isn't that false advertising?? (A sue-able offence ??)But seriously you can't really expect them to send you the rims for £2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Yeah, the law stands at the point of sale. In a shop, that's the checkout. If you pay for the goods, they're technically yours. Online, the point of sale is as you pay for the item and click the order button. However, you will find that most shops (in the small print) will have some caveat saying that they won't send things out if there have been obvious pricing errors (and this one is most definitely an obvious pricing error, however much Jarrod protests and says he thinks it's a proper offer...).But yeah, use common sense. If Dan sold those rims at that price, to the 10 or so people that ordered them, he'd lose around £200, surely? That's a week's wages to a lot of people, and you'd have to be stupid to send them.

Pashley26 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) If you sent money I doubt it will have been banked/accepted/however it works. My guess is you won't be getting a Viz rim for £2. So just, leave it to go down the topics list.

anzo Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 There are ways out of this; its all pretty much down to the Terms and Conditions and clever wording.Basically, to avoid such events (which can cripple a business) they should word the sale of goods that when the customer 'buys' them it is simply an offer and not a confirmed purchase. Therefore the store owner has the right to accept or reject a sale.'By making a request/order you are offering to purchase a product that we will accept to sell to you on the following Terms and Conditions. All requests are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price by us.'Sorry lads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
