Do you think best buy should honor wrong add?

People are human. We ALL make mistakes from time to time. Someone made a typo. Doesn't make it that they have to honor that price at all, or should. No one in their right mind would honor that price and give away a $1700.00 TV for $10.00. For all of those people who lined up out side of Best Buy... they all should have known something was wrong. Mistakes happen!

S'pose it depends on the kinds of Yokohamas, cause the ones for my car are around that price. ( But i am remembering from a book we order from at my garage.... dont remember if that was the suggested retail or not) They arent the sport tires though, fairly normal.


As for the OP.... It depends, if it was a 2K TV marked at 1500? id say they have to honor it. But a 2K tv for 9.99? No..... id say someone messed up when entering that info in, in the code of the site. you could try, but you probably wont get anywhere with it.

One time i went to go buy a Nintendo Wii, K mart had it on the shelf, so youd figure you could buy it right? ( This is when they were REALLY hard to find/get!) Well it had a sell date on it for november... and they refused to sell it to me/computers would not let them. I raised a stink and the lady "Tried" but didnt get anywhere with it. *shakes head* Yeah i was mad, but there was nothing i could REALLY do about it. Sucks, but just because something is advertised, dosnt mean they HAVE to sell.

BUt now bestbuy has made it on the news and has pissed all these people off so I think its just bad publicity. I think best buy is a great store and I have bought almost all of my electronics from them I bought a new dell last year and a ps3 from them about 3 weeks ago.

The Target thing is kind of true. It's true of most merchandise under a certain price. But if it's more expensive, especially big electronics items, they can only offer a 20% discount off the correct price. It all depends on how the customer is acting. If they get all pissed over it, the manager won't offer any discount.

There was once a page in their sale ad that said "anything on this page $40" or something similar. The item in question was an entertainment center. In the picture, it had a TV on top of it. People were trying to claim the TV for $40. Didn't work.

Btw, I work for Target. We hear people trying to claim "discounts" all the time. Most of the time when we can't honor them, people blame us as if we made the error. So no, Best Buy shouldn't honor it. It was a corporate mistake.

No, I think it would be ridiculous to honor that price because of a mistake. They should definitely be looking into punishing whoever made the mistake I heard that their stock prices dropped because of all the bad publicity yesterday.

And as far as the people lined up outside the door, too bad so sad don't be such a greedy idiot next time.

No best buy shouldn't. I can't blame people from trying, but I heard people where saying that they're going to get lawyers and stuff? Seriously? Lawyer Bill > Brand New TV. Do the math.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone .

If you think you're entitled to a 52" tv for ten bucks you're an idiot.

If you accidently listed a pie bald for ten bucks you'd back out too.

If you listed your car for $100 and meant to list it for $1000 and someone showed up to buy it - would you honor your mistake?

It would be cool if they did, but I do not think they should.

I would not expect a freebee if it were me. The way I look at it is that someone, somewhere is going to have to make up that difference somehow, and with the economy the way it is, I would rather just be honest and not pitch a fit about it.

Now if the DID honor it, I would take it and run like I stole it :)
