I always thought that they had to give you the advertised price
by law, even if it says "subject to change without notice."
Its just bad business to jack up prices over the phone
because of "market changes". So, they make an 85% profit
instead of a 100% profit, so what?
At least that's what I say when I go to order something.
And, unless the price is a misprint, I get the advertised price.
Use a little assertiveness when ordering, threaten to hang up,
act disappointed, be dissapointed, ask for the manager.
You don't have to pay what they tell you over the phone.
Its another story when its on paper.
