ADVERTISING: If a retail store has a $100 item placed on a ledge that says $20 is it False Advertising?

Let me elaborate... $100 item placed on a ledge that has a sign saying $20. The sign says its a panasonic sv2 camera, but someone placed a panasonic sv1 camera on the ledge instead (an example). If a customer only looks at the price and the word panasonic should they get it for $20?

Its easy for the customer to whine and beg, buts its hard on employees. ppl who whine and take, takes my share of the salary while i could of got a raise.

Uhm, this is easy. If the sign states the specific model is $20..then it doesn't matter what is physically sitting next to the sign.

There is no false advertsiing taking place. The sign clearly states the item and price. ...by your logic...if the sign were next to the toilet in the mens room....then the toilet would be $20...even though the sign Still says Panasonic sv2.

customers move stuff around the store on an hourly basis. Even employees place items in the wrong spot.

The only way you get to claim false advertising is if you take the specific item up and the cashier tries to charge you more for it. A smart manager would honor the price in print.

It doens't matter where in the store you actually get an item from...the ceiling , the shelf, the toilet.

Secondly, a retail store can lawfully change its price or refuse to serve you at a moments notice, and for any reason.

They might get some bad press over it...but any claim you make will likely not stand up in a court of law.

A stores right to protect its assets takes priority over your right to spend your money.

It's not false advertising if there is no intention to deceive. Somebody made a goof-it happens.

Nope, you have to read the fine print. If the store put the camera on the shelf and did it to try to deceive you, then it would be false advertising. However if a customer put the camera there by mistake, then it wouldn't.

Yes it is false advertisment they have to give you that item for the price it says they can't turn you away just make sure the tag and the prodect aren't identical (if the product says panasonic v2 and the sign says panasonic v1 then u can see that clearly it isnt the item but if it just says panasonic then go for it)

kelly

yes it is false adverstment.
