Oh I agree entirely with the economics - it's the ethics I have a problem with. I don't see what being online has to do with it, besides having a virtually (no pun originally intended) unlimited stock - all the more reason for the seller to take the reasonable precautions. If their posted prices aren't subject to some sort of review process, that is indeed a (poor) business decision which they have made, but how does that make it the customer's responsibility to personally vet their purchase price?

Even though I am mad,

, there really isn't anything I can do about it. Legally speaking, ads are seen as invitations for offers and you can't hold them to it.

However, they did accept my offer of $12.00 bucks and there was a transaction. I did buy goods and the contract was in writing and was signed via electronics.

I want to sue.

Technically speaking, yes, you're certainly right that ads are invitations for business and therefore one cannot hold a retailer to them. But for those whose credit cards were charged, I'd be absolutely shocked if that didn't constitute a legal acceptance of the terms of sale by the retailer. Somebody start a class action here...

No one should have really expected to get Bertini set at $10 since it was an obvious gross error in listed price.........

 

[Xert]

Agreed. They're a business and we should all expect them to act solely in the interest of their bottom line.

I don't know. I got a Beethoven complete symphonies set from them for around 10 bucks.

I wish they would have honored my purchase since they charged my card.

I don't know why you say that. Mine has already shipped. I figure that they only had a few sets at that crazy price (somebody emptying a warehouse perhaps?) and the first who ordered them got them...

Here is a link to a review from Opera Today discussing the Bertini Box Set. I didn't realize that Mr. Bertini had passed on recently.

Well, I wrote them a letter.

I ordered on on 2/3, the same day as the orig. post and so far, haven't recieved any cancellation notice. Says delivery expected in a wk or so. We'll see, but I'm in agreement with the others that a store should honor it's listed price.

All still appears to be normal with my order as well. Maybe they only had a few, and other other cancellations were due to quantity and not price. ??

We'll see............
