Hi guys. Quick legal question, if anyone can advise?
If a website has an item for sale marked up for £0.00 and you purchase at that 'price', are they obliged to sell? If so, does that hold for international sales?
Cheers

The sale is not legally binding until the retailer accepts the order/sale (this completes the contract)...... online this is a grey area and is hard to define. Some retailers reserve the right to not accept the order right till delivery. That's for the UK for a foreign site you'd need to divulge the country.
Basically if you get in early on a mistake you may get it and once you have it then happy days for you. If you saw it on Twatter/feckbook/etc then odds are the retailer has noticed it and is in the process of cancelling the millions of orders so you probably won't get squat.
Thanks for the reply. I'm not going to go ahead but http://www.kuberg.com/p-32-kuberg-trex.aspx is showing as 'priceless'
I double dare you :-)

did you see, delivery is £1200!
I see UK importers are Harglo, original importers of Malagutti kids bikes also now Watsonian sidecars.
Nice one! Any fallout? I guess you can cancel if they decide to charge you?
Let us know what happens. I'm guessing you might be the lucky one before they fix their website! :-) I'll take a play on that bike as an 'introducers fee' ;-) good luck!
Couldn't charge me of they wanted on the payment page it said total $0 no payment needed, so never gave them any card details. If it turned up I would laugh so hard I think I would pop a few Hernias!
WR6133 is right.
Any retailer including online retailer offers can be withdrawn if an error has occured.
Usually terms & conditions will state "E&EO excepted" which means that if the company or one of it's employees has made a mistake (or a malicious ex employee planted an unacceptable price for an item on their website) the company has the right to withdraw the item from sale (as it is an obvious error)
