[QUOTE="Andrew Prince, post: 59194, member: 1808"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A Hi Dave, I don't want to start an argument here, but I run a business and as a business owner, I get various junk through my door. One such item of junk came through my door a year or so ago, from the UK government. It was a leaflet (okay, a small booklet) that I actually found mildly interesting to read because I was amazed how strict the law is on price and what an advertised price actually means to me, the business. I'm not a lawyer so I cannot quote specifics or indeed claim to know what I'm talking about. But the general jist I got from the leaflet was that a business is not allowed to advertise at one price to bring consumers in, then charge another (higher) price on the product. Neither are they allowed to advertise a product they do not sell, to bring paying customers in, only to offer them an alternative that they do sell. Both of these are false advertising and strictly against the law. I did a quick Google search for this information and the first link I found is here: [URL="http://www.ukwelcomes.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?itemId=1083990054&site=2000&type=RESOURCES"]Retail pricing and the law in the UK | UK Welcomes | Business Link[/URL] The key text on this page is: [I]"Trading legislation covers various aspects of selling - including pricing. You must clearly inform customers of your prices, and this information must be true at all times."[/I] I interpret this as follows: [I]"If you advertise a product worth £100,000.00 to me at £100.00, you have to sell it to me for £100.00 or I can report you for breaking the law."[/I] Am I interpreting it correctly? Who knows? All I'm saying is I THINK that anyone who bought and paid for an X32 console from a UK online or offline retailer advertised around £1,800.00 will be in a contract with the retailer and the retailer has to deliver. So the question is, did anyone here buy AND pay for at this price? Are you now being asked to pay a different amount?
