I have been told that the outside cylinder 0-6-0 is more likely to be a Fowler than Stanier design, but most probably a dock shunter, so at least I got that bit right! Hopefully someone was able to pick up a decent loco for a fair price. Steve S 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I suppose it depends if they notice the error before they ship. If the orders get processed on auto pilot they might just get out of the door... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would depend how many tried to take up the offer before it was noticed at MRD, at which point they would have pulled the plug. If only one or two they might let them go.

wirey33 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Back at £95 and 43 items in stock. Clearly a typo and I'd guess that no orders will be processed at £9.50. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Banger Blue Posted July 30, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 30, 2019 Do they not have to honour any purchases made at the “advertised price”? We benefitted from this some years ago, (buying an accessory for a games console as a present IIRC), once at the till and rung through, it came up substantially dearer than displayed on the shelf. ‘When this was pointed out to the manager, the sale was honoured at the displayed price. Needless to say, a sales assistant soon cleared the shelf and they re-appeared later at the correct higher price! Was this more a goodwill gesture than being legally bound?? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No legal obligation whatsoever, so just a gesture of goodwill. And for the case in question with Model Railways Direct, their Terms and Conditions state: ”5.4 It is possible that prices on the website may be incorrectly quoted; accordingly, we will verify prices as part of our sale procedures so that the correct price will be notified to you before the contract comes into force.” Roy Edited July 30, 2019 by Roy Langridge 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisr40 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I guess it also depends if you are okay with a model shop (of which there are but a few good ones left) making a significant loss due to an honest error. We all love a bargain don't get me wrong but these things have ramifications. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Shelf edge pricing" is a whole different ball game instore than online finger slippage, I've benefitted more than once in supermarkets from the former, and there's also the "impossible pricing" scenario to look at whilst in said supermarkets.

Except in Morrisons where they will not honour shelf edge prices where they are different to the till however small the error.

I was interested as I knew the boss of Nottinghamshire trading standards and he marked my card as it were, the outcome of an altercation with a petrol station who hadn't altered all their price boards was interesting and a little satisfying to me as just a little old customer!
