Incorrect Price Online

If a large company advertise an incorrect price on something, do they have to honor it?

no, unless it's been repeatedly advertised when they known it to be wrong.

No, and they don't have to honour it either.

My neighbour has ordered something with an incorrect price online they've taken the money from he's debit card, will they just refund it then?

I think its called an "invitation to treat" meaning that they don't actually have to sell it at that price its just an offer.

lol... so I think they may notice that. Better go tell him the good news

No you wont be getting the Xbox 360 on the supermarket website for £34

Is the simple answer

Especially since it got put on Hot UK Deals or whatever it is and a few thousand people tried to buy one.

That isn't what he ordered....

Fair enough, but even so, if it was cheap enough he bought 5 to try and profit from they'll notice and probably phone him up asking if he wants to pay the proper price or cancel his order.

I would have not been impressed if that was the deal as I just paid £200 for mine lol

Well, multiple places have 360, a game, controller and a couple of other things for £33.24 at the moment, which everyone is ordering. I'd be hugely surprised if anyone receives one.
