What's the legal position on incorrectly priced websites? I've found cosworth conrods at £0.00
http://www.japanesemotorspares.co.uk...ed-con-rod-set

and forged 2.6L pistons at £0.00
http://www.japanesemotorspares.co.uk...ston-set-921cr

Would the website have to honour that price?

I like the idea.... But I doubt it'll work

No as they can refuse to sell them to you.

Does it say something like "phone for details" at the bottom?

No, unless they have taken the money from you / your card, then they can refuse the offer of goods at that price. Buying online is no different to the shops, its called, invitation to treat.

Good spot though

Price of £0 usually means no stock

Sadly the delivery is also £0.00 so I wouldn't even pay a charge for that, so nothing would hit my mastercard.

There's a few more items on there @ £0, however I don't need any of them. Was just a thought

Funnily enough, for a number of our services, we charge the same amount.

TX.

Lets See If we can get a group buy discount.....

I wonder how much He`ll knock off £0.00 if we get 10 interested...

Seriously though, I agree with a previous comment... It probably means out of Stock.... Or No longer Supplying

Coming back to items in high street shops being clearly marked at a cheaper (incorrect) price... I thought the law is that the shop in question HAS to honour said price (despite it being clearly a mistake)?

(Not sure on online shopping laws though).

Nope not the case at all. As earlier stated the legal term is 'invitation to treat' which can be rejected by the retailer. The only case where an item is actually 'offered' for sale is an auction which has a legally binding enforcement.

Maybe the law has changed but about 10 years ago I and about half of England bought a camera off amazon marked up as £39.99 and not the RRP of £139.99. Felt like I won the lottery!

That constituted a contract as the acceptance of the 'invitation to treat' was done automatically online. Therefore the contract was complete in that sense. Had the computer said 'no' if you pardon the expression there would be no recourse on your part.

A shop owner displaying their goods for sale is generally making an invitation to treat (Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain v Boots Cash Chemists (Southern) Ltd [1953] 1 QB 401). They are not obliged to sell the goods to anyone who is willing to pay for them, even if additional signage such as "special offer" accompanies the display of the goods. (But see bait and switch.) This distinction was legally relevant in Fisher v Bell [1961] 1 QB 394, where it was held that displaying a flick knife for sale in a shop did not contravene legislation which prohibited offering for sale such a weapon. The distinction also means that if a shop mistakenly displays an item for sale at a very low price it is not obliged to sell it for that amount
