I was wondering what people think of this. I major department store has an item mispriced on their website for $0.00 and free shipping. Is it wrong to take advantage of such things?

September 18, 2011 2:06 pm at 2:06 pm #810920happiestMemberWe tried it and they were gonna charge us 7.95 in shipping which was still a ton of $ off but then we got an email later that the order was canceled.

The “$0.00” can end up costing you anywhere from $10 to $100, to $1,000.

September 19, 2011 7:37 pm at 7:37 pm #810926apushatayidParticipantI was in a major department store and an item clearly marked $18.95 rang up at the register as $1.89. Someone obviously entered it wrong, in the computer. They honored the price that rang up on the register, then advised me to play the numbers 189 in the lotto 🙂
They also told me not to bother trying to go back to the shelf because they already corrected the error. 🙂
