[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Scheels trying to pull a fast one. (Page 1 of 4)
Posted: 1/12/2013 3:39:38 PM EDT
| So I was at a Scheels today with a buddy and they had pmags for $24.99 with a limit of 5. I grab 5 and head to the checkout, before I checkout I tell my buddy to get 5 more mags so I can flip them on GB. Walk back to the mags and they are all gone when there were 50 just 2 minutes earlier. Checkout walk the mall and swing back through Scheels just to look. The rack is full again, we each grab 5 and go checkout. As the chick is ringing me up I notice that the price tag now says $29.99 but they rung up at $24.99 and she did not notice. Took them out to the car and went back in and we bought 10 more mags for $24.99. I plan on flipping most of them on Gun Broker but I thought it was funny to see them pull all the mags from the rack, change the price tag, put them back out, but forget to update the computers. |

Yours... you knew the correct price, then didn't inform the cashier. Theft. "Theft"??? No, that is hardly theft. The store is making an error in the customer's favor. The customer has no duty to correct them. I see..so if someone makes a mistake in your favor, you are not morally bound to inform them. What a world we live in. |

A few years ago I was selling a gun that I didn't want any more to a stocking dealer. We agreed on a price, and he paid me in cash. I did not count the bills until I got out to my car in the parking lot, but when I did, I found he had given me $100 more than we had agreed on, by mistake. I went back inside and gave them the $100 back. I didn't want the clerk to get in trouble and possibly lose his job for making a mistake. He was very appreciative. But to say that a store undercharging someone, and that person not correcting it, is "theft" - no, that is not theft, sorry. |
| They pulled them from the rack in the middle of the day for the purpose of upping the price. They put them back on the rack before updating the system. Not my fault and if any of say that you would have corrected the cashier is either lying or a fool. They rang it up, I paid what was asked and I walked out the door with the product I bought. |

It would depend, "exactly," on what is written in the statutes in the OP's state. The statutory definition of "theft" is going to involve some mechanism of taking property without permission. What you have in this case is a business transaction involving property, in which the seller has not exercised their own due diligence, through no fault of the buyer. The point I think you are trying to argue involves "honor," and I agree with you. There is a thing called "honor" and people should abide by it. "Theft," OTOH, has very specific legal definitions and requirements. |

If it makes you feel better the $24.99 stickers were still on the packages as well. Most stores will go with what ever the system tells them unless the labeled price is lower. In which case they will override and give the lower sticker price. I doubt that they would have changed the system price to the higher price.

It's the stores responsibility to charge the price they want for their product. They can advertise it as 29.99 but if they don't change their price in the computer it's their own fault. Legally it's not theft. Everyone has their own morals, it's not worth arguing about. |

It's a "DICK MOVE" to change the price in the middle of the day.
Most stores will honor the lowest price on an item, even if it's their mistake, which it sounds like in this case. They pulled the Mags into the back room, slapped new, HIGHER price stickers on them, but didn't update the computer. What would have happend if you had walked up to the cashier with a mag marked $24.95, and it rang up at $29.95???? Most stores would have honored the lower price. Still, a DICK MOVE changing the prices in the middle of the day. Should have been done after hours.... |
