[DSP-10] EZKit-Lite price

>From a legal point of view a price entered on a webpage is not deemed as
a legal contract until the vendor has accepted it!

There was a case recently where a company mis-advertised TV's - they
went to court and successfully defended their case under these terms -
ie that their advertised price didn't form a binding contract until they
actually accepted the order - ie it was an offer to sell. Some legal
wrangling anyway and the customer lost out.

Kodak had a similar problem recently offering digital cameras at a very
cheap price. They actually stood by the price even though it cost the
company $1million!

Regards

And good luck!

I'm sure it is illegal.  I am planning on making a complaint to the BBB
and 
approprite state authorities.

They did respond right away but with a curt answer that "your order is 
cancelled"
