RE: Cheap projector

["David Yeend" <david.yeend@xxxxxxx>]

I don't know if it is different for on-line orders under the distance
selling rules or even if the law has changed in the last several months but
I had to check out a similar situation once.

The office of fair trading (Bless them) confirmed that a vendor was not
actually obliged to sell. The explanation given was that no matter how
something for sale was advertised all a potential purchaser made was an
offer to purchase. The seller was quite within their legal rights to refuse
to sell - this was a point of law and not down to Ts & Cs. I can not
remember all of the detail but I think this was a provision of the Sales of
Goods Act - I may well be wrong here. I think this is explained in a FAQ on
the Office of Fair Trading WWW site.

I would be interested to know if I have been misguided, or, if there are
any other legal considerations - misrepresentation or what not.

Anyway, good luck, if you're successful when is the showing, I'll get the
beer where is the pizza coming from!

David.

Haven't checked the detail, but does it actually say anywhere that 
the prices on the web are THE price list? My guess is that they'd 
have a master list somewhere which is the legal one...
