This is worth buying and then suing them for.

They also offer nationwide delivery for £150.

If I wasn't in the middle of moving house and living with my parents I might buy this just for the fun of the small claims court case

EDIT: Their other bikes are priced properly so maybe this is just a genuine mistake?

If it was a "Buy it now" price you could probably have a bit of fun with them but as it on as "Classified" there ain't no mileage in it. Anyway trying to get between an Aberdonian and their money is the most pointless endevour in the history of mankind.

You'd be lucky! It's a classified ad so the following applies:

You go into the shop and see a price label for £10. This is an invitation to treat. This is basically the shop saying we will take £10 for the item if you are willing to offer it.

When you take the item to the till you are making an offer. Which is basically saying 'I am willing to offer you £10 for this item'.

The £10 you are offering is consideration. This is you promising to pay them £10. The shops promise or consideration is the item they are going to give you for the £10. Most contracts have to have some form of consideration (although not all).

Finally, the shop can decide whether to accept or not. At this stage they can still refuse to sell you the product and they are under no obligation to. Only when they have accepted your offer is the contract complete and they are bound to sell you the product for £10.

Both parties must be willing to enter in a contract and there must be a meeting of the minds. This is where both sides are totally clear what the terms of the contract are. Clearly if the shop and customer disagree on the price there cannot be a meeting of the minds.

Some shops will sell you an item for the price they have marked it just for the sake of good customer service but they are not under a legal obligation to do so.

So, effectively there can be no contract until the shop accepts.

Oh yes so it is.

I think the advertising standards agency would take issue with this though (if it weren't on Ebay which is the electronic equivilant of buying from a man in a pub)

How very true.
It's a little known fact that copper wire was invented by two Aberdonians fighting over a penny.

I once knew an Aberdonian that dropped a 10p piece. He bent down to pick it up and it hit him on the back of the head!

The actual price is probably £3999
