What is the law in Georgia on sale items?
At my antique mall we were told they legally have to honor the lowest price on the item.
So for example, I bought a rare child's book I found at a thrift store, which they have a base price for all books. I put my tag on it, with my price and sellers code.
Someone brought it to the front and argued to the front counter that the $2 old penciled in price on the first page should be the price they get it for (i never even saw it in there it must have been so light) , which the front counter agreed to, so I lost money on that purchase.
Another example is Hobby Lobby..
I picked up an item I thought was 50% because thebsign was out and asked for clarification from a stocker if said item fell under that category, she said that sale was actually from last week, but since the sign was still up they had to honor it, just take the sign to the register.
Another example is Dicks
My son and his friend went to buy a Googan rod yesterday. There was a sign back there that said they were 25% off, but when it didn't ring up 25% and when they asked why the guy said it was expired from last week..
I'm just looking for a little clarification on who has to honor what when it comes to pricing and sales.
