Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

It's the law.

They operate a shop and if they list prices and consumers order it, then they have to honor it.

Sorry.

look it up, there have been many cases of it. Usually the companies try to obviously weasel their way out of it. But if you task the authorities then they will support you.

It's your right as a consumer.

Actually, no. They can easily hide behind "obvious mistake" laws. It would cost you more to hire a lawyer to debate your case (the value is too high to do it in small claims court), than you would gain by pushing the issue. On top of that, it's unlikely you would win.

Man I wish that "stores have fulfill typo orders" thing was true. It's not, but man I wish it was.

I'd be riding a brand new charge plug complete i ordered from airbomb for $88 shipped. Got an email a week later claiming price mistake "OOPS SO SRY! It's actually $575"

If a store misprices an item they do NOT have to honor that price.
