Not entirely true. About 14 years ago Kodak advertised a digital camera
on their web-site at 25 quid instead of 250 quid back in the days when
digital cameras cost big bucks.
A bunch of folks passed it around the web and made orders. I ordered
three of them at 25 quid. Kodak initially refused to honour the orders
stating that the price was a mistake and they were given the right to
refuse the orders.
They later backed down to avoid bad publicity but the law was on their side.
However, the RNIB are a shower IMHO

Hi,
Not until you order. If you order at that price, then yes, but before you
order, no contract is entered into.
All the best

Hi,
I thought if something was advertised at a certain price that the company had
to fulfil and honour the stated price.
Regards,
Mike

Does anybody know what is going on with the Talking Newspaper and Magazine
Service?
Today I visited
http://www.rnib.org.uk/services-we-offer-reading-services-national-talking-newspapers-and-magazines/newspapers-andvisited
and saw that I could pay £16 for a subscription to Private Eye.
However when I tried to place an order today via the helpline I was
told I would have to pay £49.20 for this and that the website was
"outdated!".
Luckily I had checked the price before ordering.
I have asked for a Manager to ring me back about this but 2 main
questions are obvious.
1. Why are they creating such problems by allegedly maintaining
"outdated information".
2. How can a Charity possibly justify this 300% level of increase in
subscriptions?
