Always on the lookout for a superceded bargains I came across some twintips for sale on seabreeze for 399 including straps. Call this number it said. It was a shop but a mobile number was given.

No answer so I looked up the shop phone number and called only to be told price "Exclude straps","we made a mistake" "we put so much stuff on seabreeze" etc. Then person on other end of mobile messages me to call the shop not the mobile. But it was your number on the ad!!

Turns out this is the same shop I called a year ago about some runout brand new drifters for $900-odd or so, sounds too good to be true? Yes it was "sorry we priced them wrong". but we will do you a deal and you can have them for $1200 or so.

Won't mention who it is but seriously folks (and you know who you are) are you trying to pull our legs or are you just total [refer subject]?

^^^ name the shop as I and the rest of us don't want to waste anytime and precious energy, would rather be out KITESUFING!

Yep, we stuffed up.

It is a constant battle maintaining our list and make sure it is up to date. No excuse but we are working out a system to help avoid this.
I made the call on that board, looked at how much we were already losing on the board alone and never gave the OK for the board to be put online with straps...

The mobile number? I can't find one listed on our ads, we haven't got any mobile numbers apart from personal ones.

Didn't realise you had experienced this before and my staff didn't get your number.. PM sent

Give it to him for your advertised price.. there's laws about that.

PM'd him :)

There are laws, we have to honour the advertised price until a correction has been issued. For online pricing or emailed advertisements this can be straight away (which we did) for printed advertising we would have to honour the price until we ran a correction in the same media.

way to expensive !!!!

Fair enough kp - if consumer affairs were the ones enquiring... you'd be coughing up before you could change it !!!

Kp has sold me a board n stuff... saved me a lot on freight too.. good service...

Lets hope they keep up the online standard too

I say bull****,drag em in then offer a more expensive alternative,seen this before with car dealers-crap

In law there is no excuse for advertising at incorrect price. It's called an "invitation to treat" and you theoretically can hold them to the price.

Yep, you have to honour the advertised price if the buyer has decided to purchase. I seem to remember you guys being in the same predicament on a couple of other occasions.

Sounds like you guys are pulling a "bait and gate". If it was a sincere listing mistake you should've honoured the sale and then made the necessary adjustments to the ad to reflect in any future sales IMO.

No they dont have to offer the advertised price.
As long as it was a mistake.

It's just business as usual.

Another scammy plan.

Now take that Terry McTool troll for instance.

That sly account is clearly a freakin trojan horse.

When will Steve be forced by the owners of this site to badge his avatar appropriately ,,,

and show his affiliation to Kitepower Australia so newbies are fully informed.

lol.
