If going by those clauses to the very word, nowhere does it say they have to sell it to you at the lower price. It just says they can't sell it to you at the higher price. But that means they reserve the right to not sell it to you at all.
If that is the case, then after they have removed any incorrect signs showing the lower price, then they can sell it to you at the higher price, and they would not be in violation of section 54.
I dunno... that's how I see it. | you are right man.
an advertisement is only an invitation to treat. there is no consideration given.
stores do not have to legally sell it for you if there is an incorrect label. the store can just say, sorry, wrong label. my lawyer friend who makes $300 K just told me this.
When you think about it, it makes total sense, if an employee of the motorcycle dealership as $240 instead of $2400. the dealership is not legally forced to sell it to the customer for $240.
ive had this happen to me at a couple stores where there was a price error and i knew it was too good to be true and someone just messed up.

I already posted what the correct version is in a subsequent post, but to reiterate, SCOP policy says that if an item rings in at a higher price than what is shown on any other displayed price, then you are entitled to the item for free if it's $10 or less, or for items more than $10, you get $10 off that item.

the article says they only withdrew some of the money not all of it

And think of it this way: Suppose you see a great deal on an LCD TV at Future Shop one week, but can't afford that price until after the sale is gone. So, what you do is steal the tag and keep it with you until you can afford it. Then you go back to Future Shop, put the tag on the shelf and try to buy the product at that price. Think they're then forced to sell it for that price? Nope.

$6M in assets should be sufficient to support any average family for a very comfortable lifestyle.

^ that would be sneaky.
I know some stores allow flyer prices to be used (on request of course) for 1 week after the sale ended.

I'd say $25k is just a bit below average joe. maybe 30-35k being average.
edit: a quick google showed that average Joe in NZ makes about 45-50k/year, average Jane makes 38-40k

don't quote me, but possibly The Brick, Visions, FS. I can't remember exactly but it was a bigger box store. It's worth a shot at any store though.

The day after the sale it was magically in stock but they would not sell it to at the sale price.

Rotorua is hardly a "northern" city...Auckland or Whangarei are...Rotorua is near to lake Taupo in the middle of the North Island...but I can understand wanting to get away from the boiling mud pools, geysers and stink of sulfer gas. Whakarewarewa and Tikiteri ( "Hell's Gate") are just outside of the town. Running a "petrol" station in Rotorua could be construed as grounds for an insanity plea?

Its bullshit how a bank can make a mistake that ends up costing US money and they'll make you jump through a million different loops before they give you back the money.
The second they make a mistake then they're automatically covered.
