Dealers Who Refuse to Honor Their Published Web Prices

This is the 2nd time I've had this experience. Yesterday I was on the Audio Advice website and they had advertised an Auralic Aries G2.2 for $3,899. I called with my credit card to order - was told this was an error and that an "old web page" had inadvertently been published. How does this happen? They took down the web page - but I have the saved screen shot for $3,899.

When I'm in a grocery store or a department store, these stores aways honor the sticker price - even if it's an error. I don't know what other audio stores with integrity would do. I know what Audio Advice did - and I have the screen shot to prove it.

Anybody with similar experiences?

 You’re comparing this to a grocery store - really?  The webmaster made a mistake.  It has nothing to do with the dealer’s integrity.   You simply want a cheap price that you’re not entitled to.  Sorry, no sympathy.

Take a look at all these other Auralic Aries ads.

I’d be peaved as well but sometimes that’s just how the cookie crumbles.

"Bait and switch"?

Be more careful.

You should have just placed the order on-line and not called, bet it would have gone through at the $3899.00 

Live and learn.

The experience with B&H Photo doesn't surprise me. They are a class act. I've bought monitors and Ubiquiti hardware from them before.
