Looking for a BBQ Smoker and found a site that has a few listed for $0 and a few more listed as $0 but is sold out. If I select the item that is $0 and go through checkout it seems to go through. My question is, Title above "Do they need to honour it?" I know its a simple mistake by the web dev but just wondering. I know we see stuff like this come up on here all the time from Amazon/eBay/Harvey Norman/JBHiFi/OfficeWorks.. etc.
Thoughts?
What if he can get a bridge for $0 does he still need to build it?

Retailers are not required to honour price errors.

Multiple pricing occurs when a business displays more than one price for the same item or service. If this happens, you must sell it for the lowest displayed price or withdraw the item until the price is corrected.
By VIC Law
CCA 2010 Schedule 2
(5) Despite subsection (2), a displayed price for goods that is a displayed price because it has been published in a catalogue or advertisement ceases to be a displayed price for the goods if:
(a) the displayed price is retracted; and
(b) the retraction is published in a manner that has at least a similar circulation or audience as the catalogue or advertisement.
Australian consumer law is federal law.
The comment linked to Fair Trading NSW not ACL/Federal Law.
@WoodYouLikeSomeCash: Yes and it is informing people from NSW who want to know the law what the ACL says.
In this case there was no consideration so no contract.

I'm thinking entitled w@nker
There are a lot of them here.
The new trend is called coomer
OK coomer
The title of your post should be asking "Is There An Obligation" instead of "What Are The Obligations".
what if I am a troll and I prefer being under bridges instead of over bridges?
It's an invitation to treat y'all backside. They don't owe you nothin my man. You define the offer when you agree to pay, they accept the contract when they accept y'all thrifty pineapples. Shalam!
Did you read the sites terms and conditions? What did they say?
E & OE
Offer to treat
Nuh
JB and Officeworks don't sell BBQ's.
Some of the Laptops get a bit hot, but no…
If they don't honour the deal they will give you your money back.
It was very nice of the OP to leave out the site of where this pricing error occurred.
Sharing is caring OP.
Here is the link if anyone is keen:
The only mistake would be in enabling you to put it in your cart. It says in big letters "Pricing not available online, please contact store for further information." What are you expecting to happen here?
build a bridge and get over it.
