You're not entitled to buy an optic at 1/2 price, just because the retailer made a mistake. You didn't "get burned" by the retailer. You tried to take advantage of a mistake and it didn't pan out.

I'm sure if the cashier at McDonald's accidentally slipped you too much change, you'd probably think you deserved it to, right?

Asking a retailer who brings in millions of dollars a yr to honor an advertised price is apparently a crime now!

I think you may be the first example of an "OCCUPY ARFCOM" type that believes that because someone else works hard for their money - you somehow are deserving of it.

Anyone else smell the stench of Entitlement mindset?

You can go on with the entitlement bullshit. The facts of the matter are simple;
1. I asked if they would honor the price listed, which is a reasonable request.
2. They denied, which they have the right to do.
3. I'm sharing my personal experiences and taking my business elsewhere, which is my right.

A lot of companies run great sales on high ticket items, sometimes at a loss,

Solid input.

Just like when Home Depot runs an ad with a misprint in price, they honor it. The business they earn from standing behind their advertising surpasses the money lost on the misprint.

I'm torn on this one.

I told my mobile car wash guy that we no longer needed him after he backcharged me five bucks from a previous wash. I paid him, then told him not to come back. I had 5 fullsize trucks for him to wash every two weeks. He got chicken shit for five bucks.

If I underbid something, I either eat it or forfeit my bid bond. Either way, it makes me more cautious when pricing shit.

I have had nothing but positive experiences ordering 5.11 gear and some miscellaneous close-out items. I even had to send a close-out item back to them for exchange - no problems. They forgot an item in one of my orders. I called and let them know. They confirmed it was on the packing receipt. I told them it wasn't included. They sent one out to me no questions asked.

I'll take that as a note to never order from them.

Posted: 11/20/2012 1:54:10 PM EDT

[#27]

Obviously OP should have just assumed that LAPoliceGear didn't have their shit together. Yeah they advertised an item on their website at a certain price and OP ordered it. That doesn't mean they are supposed to fulfill the order. After all, I know that if I see a really good deal advertised I steer clear of it as obviously they have made a mistake. I pay the full price for anything I buy if not above market rate, that way I don't take advantage of anyone.

Like the EE example. If I were to mistakenly offer to high a price on something that was selling on the EE, I could just say "never mind I didn't mean to do that" with no negative repercussions. I'm sure I could agree to a deal and then decide the next day it was a bad idea and cancel everything without another word being spoken of it.

LAPOLICEGEAR advertised items for sale at a particular price and accepted the OP's order for that item at that price. Now they are going back on that. OP may or may not be able to take them to court over it but they made a cost benefit analysis. Fulfilling the orders despite THEIR MISTAKE would have cost them money. Cancelling the orders doesn't cost money but it harms their reputation. They chose the second option and OP is letting us know what happened and that he is unimpressed with them. I was on the fence about them but it seems like a few people in this thread have had negative experiences with them. I have to conclude LAPOLICEGEAR doesn't have their shit together and when you place and order with them it may or may not end up being a headache.

I've bought from them on a couple of occasions. Last time I bought a light for my one handgun and it was supposed to come with 20 free batteries. Sure enough, the package arrives and... no extra batteries.

Wait so, you are telling us that because somebody made a huge glaring mistake pricing an item that they bought and were trying to sell, should sell to you (who has incurred zero loss) a significantly discounted item at a loss (to them) because you feel you are entitled to it because you seen in and ordered it before they could fix it?

I had my own negative run in with LA Police gear but after reading your stupid rant I feel more inclined to kick them some business this X mas. . . . . . had you bought one I could have sympathized but purchasing 8 lets everyone reading to know you were deliberately trying to take advantage of an obvious mistake.

If this had been a private transaction and the seller welched or tried to change the terms of a deal after an agreement had been struck then I could see being upset and accusing them of "going back on the deal." If pricing is entered incorrectly into an inventory database, then that's a bit different. The online ordering system is going to run a protocol when you hit submit and it is going to begin to process the order at that time. Most of us have been in line at the supermarket or a department store and been told that the pricing for an item was incorrect. The adjustment is made; the actual price is rung up; we pay the actual price; life goes on.

They will still get my business.

So I am an entitled asshole when PSA has blemed lowers for sale and I scoop up 8? Seems like someone knew what price they were putting in for the Eothingy and didn't bother to change it to the correct price...or SKYNET is up and running and we're all doomed.

A blemed lower is A LOT different than an Optic at over 50% off a good retail price...

Not if it's listed as a special sale item as they presented it.

Actually it is. A blemed lower is a grade reduction because of a failed standard, thus the decrease in price. The optic was "supposedly" a special sale on an item that typically retails in the low $500s. NIB, nothing wrong with it. You still not see a difference?

My wife and I have a retail biz.
If a paid afvertisor makes a mistake we have a disclaimer
on all ads, plus we are responsible for proofing the ads before publication.

If my wife make a mistake on an ad, at our loss, we honor the ad.

Those of you who cry fowel, read up on the DTPA. look it up.

Those who think a big biz wouldn't do anything like this in order
to get additional business, read and watch the news.
Just the last 5 yrs. there has been big scandals, fines, and
prison sentences for misleading and deceptive biz practices.
Again read up on the DTPA, it was created for a reason.

This could of been an honest mistake, but you still honor your ads.
Fire the person that wrote.
Got nothing to do with getting something for nothing.
A lot of companies run great sales on high ticket items, sometimes at a loss,
hoping that additional items will be purchased along with
the sale item. It's called marketing.
Other companies intentionally run misleading ads hoping
the customer will order additional items, then when their told
it was a mistake on the ad, they hope the customer will say
Ok, and still purchase the additional items.

Well I was hoping to edit this before any other post.
I always make roll my eyes at Internet arguments.
Kind of pointless.
I did the typos on purpose to make a point about shit happens, but be a stand up business and take care of your customers.
I'm also apologizing for my IQ comment, two martini's already, lol.

OP You lose!

retailer has right to charge whatever they want. Advertisements are mere invitations to deal. They are not offers.

Ive ordered from them once. They are super slow shipping items out. Although, they have great deals on 5.11 stuff.
