No they aren't, in fact. Under the law an advertisement is considered "informational", not an "offer". When the customer attempts to make the purchase that customer is making an "offer" which is then open to "acceptance" (or not) by the seller. Deliberate false advertising is certainly illegal, but laws do make allowance for mistakes, typos, etc. in advertising. HOWEVER... In this case it appears that B&H *did* accept the offer by billing the customer's credit card. At that point they were legally bound to provide the goods at the agreed-upon price. The advertising is irrelevant. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
