Q: if a website posted something for the wrong price and I buy it before they fix it they have to sell it to me right ?
A:
In general, yes, if a website posts something for the wrong price and you buy it before they fix it, they have to sell it to you at that price. This is because the posting of the price constitutes an offer to sell the item at that price, and your purchase of the item is an acceptance of that offer.
However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. For example, if the website made a clerical error in posting the price, or if the price was so low that it was clearly a mistake, then the website may be able to cancel the sale. Additionally, if the website has a disclaimer in its terms of service stating that it is not bound by pricing errors, then the website may be able to cancel the sale.
A: No thet don't have to sell it to you, but you MAY have options. Did you actually in incur any damages ($) because they won't sell it to you. Was this done to lure customers in? If you are just trying take advantage of a misprint, you out of luck. You don't get a brand new Ferrari for a $100 because you clicked buy.
