Do you think best buy should honor wrong add?

[Denial]

Does anyone think best buy should honor there add for the 52inch tv they put up on the web for 9.99? I went shopping at a target once I believe it was about 2 years ago and they had a video game that I wanted that just released that week and they had it put up under the wrong section that was discounted but they sold it to me at the discounted price. I think they should honor there add it was there mistake.

Ha, a discounted video game is a little different than a practically free tv, but I cant blame you for trying lol. Sign me up for 3!

I mean I can understand them cutting the price down a bit, but not that much. Typos happen.

I know I was just using that as a reference but target has a policy that if it is marked wrong they have to sell it to you at that price regardless of what it is. And these tvs are way overpriced imo anyways. When circuit city was going out of business you should of seen how low they dropped the prices on them around here it was crazy. 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.

Yes, yes they should.

I bought a set of high performance tires once that were listed as 89 dollars each, which I thought was incredibly low. I paid my price and as it turned out I had actually just gotten a 50% discount based off of a mistake in the system. I dont know for sure, but I think stores have to honor their advertised price on that item or else it is a matter of false advertising.

I can get Performance tires for about that price, just tire shops jack them up. If any of you ever need tires really cheap let me know. I've been ordering from a wholesale place for years, and I can refer you to them also.

It was a pretty good price for Yokohamas.

Who would really believe that a store would sell a $1700 TV for $9.99? Oh wait, it's the people who were waiting in line outside stores this morning with the ad in hand. When informed that it was a mistake and the price wouldn't be honored, they "erupted in anger or dismay".

I bought a $400 dollar sub woofer for 79.99 from etronics.com that was miss priced on amazon.com. I didn't think they were going to honor it but they did. It was pretty fantastic.
