If a $1500 computer was marked $15.00 they don't have to honor it, but if a $100 pair of jeans are mismarked as on sale for $70 they do, to my knowledge, have to sell it at the marked price. Basically if an average customer would feel the marked price is reasonable enough not to automatically assume it's an error, that's the price it would go at.

Both my friend and I had ordered from one of the online 3day sample sale sites. After a month, our merchandise had not been shipped out. We got refunds, but it was a serious hassle. Perhaps it would have been easier if we quoted this! </p> Wow, this is really interesting! Both my friend and I had ordered from one of the online 3day sample sale sites.
