Mis-pricing over the net is a grey area in legal terms.
In this country the law is based upon statute law. There isnt a case yet where mis-pricing over the net has gone through the courts.
The nearest example is Kodak.
http://news.zdnet.co.uk/business/0,39020645,2103494,00.htm
Kodak hounored ALL sales simply down to public pressure and the thought of fighting individual cases through courts.
If you read, Kodak DID make legally binding contracts with their customers even regardless of payment.
Simply contact the media, everyone send a few eNotes banging on about the subject...

Like for instance a few months ago I went into homebase to get a roll of wallpaper and it is £9.99 a roll..I seen one roll with 99p on it...thought
so took it to till and they said somebody had put it on there and thats not the price...
But they had to give it to me at 99p..She went and seen her manager and had to sell it at that price.......
But the company on the net might just try and get out of it and would be a pain trying to get it for that price..If I get one fair do's but if not get a refund and nothing lost

Your half right they either have to sell it you or take that product off the selves for a certain about of time, about 14 days i think. most unless it is mega expensive and a massive fuck up will just give it you.
With a internet site they can just removed the link and not sell that goods for that period of time. But again if you read there t&c they don't have to give you anything.

A mis-priced item in a shop, the keeper has the right to refuse to sell the item to the customer.The price shown, what ever the price is an' invitation to treat'. The buyer makes an offer, and its up to the shop to accept it at that price.
Usually they honour the item at that price on goodwill if the difference isnt too much.
As for eBuyer. The TV's are 'discontinued' and NOT availavble to anyone even if the buyer offers at the correct price, therefore, as TimS quoted, they are taking it off for a litmited time period...or probably just an excuse by saying 'the item is out-of-stock' therefore cant sell it/deliver it....cunning indeed, but i'm sure they have contacted a legal body about this matter.
