I bought 2 CDS in a Karaoke store in Arkansas Saturady...Today a lady from the store called and said that the CDs that she charged me 39.95 for were supposed to be 129.99 each and I owed them the difference or needed to return the cds....can they do that....I have my receipt and the merchandise.....I think I fulfilled my part of the deal.....and they are SOL......I am sorry they screwd up....but is it my fault? I wouldn't have bought the cds if they told me they cost 129.99 instead of 39.99.........They named a price ....I paid it.....shouldn't that be the end? Any help would be appreciated.....Thanks

They are out of luck. They are going to try to guilt you into bringing them back so they don't lose out on the money...but oh well...tough luck for them!!! :)
it's about time that the corporate world gets it stuck to them instead of the other way around.

The legal position is that the you made a contract with the store to purchase the CDs for $39.95 and that is what you paid, so the store cannot now claim that you owe them a further sum unless ... they can show that you knew or should have known that the price was $129.99. If you knew that the price was $129.99 and you decided not to tell the clerk at the till that she had made a mistake then it could be said that you perpetrated a fraud. Now if there is a genuine reason why you would not know that the product was undercharged, as for example that it and other identical disks, were marked at that price on the sticker showing the price then the store has no recourse and you owe nothing at all. In that situation you fulfilled your part of the contract and its there bad luck.

Watch it they can try to do a charge through on your credit card, they don't need you there to do that. I had co-workers that did that a lot when they rang something up wrong. Without fail the customer would be calling wanting to know what these extra charges were.
Honestly I don't know what they can legally do. They did complete the sale. It isn't your fault that they messed the price up, you purchased based on what they said. Done deal. Most stores advertise that if they have misquoted the price you get it for what they said. Possibly contact that stores home office if they have one.
Just watch for that charge like I said. It will probably happen so be prepared to notify your bank or credit card company of a possible invalid charge and save that receipt and any packaging the items came in.

That sounds like a scam to me. Someone may have gotten a hold of your private information and now extorting you. Call the police and fill out a report. Do you still have the number on your caller ID? If there is no number, it only strengthens the case.
Also, it might not be a bad idea to check your credit report.

legally you are not obligated at all but if they have your credit card number be ware as they may try to over charge you. If they had the mistake it is their fault and you should not pay. I would call and speak to their corporate headquarters and inform them you will not pay and you may contact the attorney general in your state and complain about the way they asked for more money after they messed up.

Can they call? Sure, they did, didn't they? Do you have to return them? Not legally, but the chances are the clerk that messed up is going to have to have that amount deducted from her next pay check unless you do. So, it's up to you as to what you do.

You are not responsible for their mistakes--though I am not versed in law. You can call the Better Business Bureau. They do dispute resolution.

Yes, pretty much. Unless they can prove you swapped the price tags they are SOL.
