In a I&I sports mag I saw a "Lapco stainless steel barrel".
List price was 1045$, but listen to this, it was on sale for 950$. Uhh is something wrong here, or am I just uneducated?

Unfortunately you can not hold them to that price, I majored in Business Administration and for Legal Studies one topic was misadvertising. If a company intentionally uses misleading claims or purposefully misprices an item to attract more attention, they are performing an act subject to penalties including fines. No, you can't say because you marked it like that you have to sell it, any company who does that is doing it to be civil and maintain your business, they are not obliged to.

However, if it is some lazy or unskilled webmaster who doesn't monitor his work... he's just a dope and subject to ridicule like this, especially if he doesn't notice it for months :)
