A price mistake isn't fraud.

You know I feel the same way. I bought a Boston Market country fried steak frozen meal for $2.00 at Walmart the other day, because the picture on the box looked delicious. When I got home and opened it, it looked like frozen vomit soup. I ate it anyway..
Where do I go to sign up for your revolution?

You would need to be able to prove that the company is intentionally setting up price mistakes to drive business. However, that's an idiotic way of thinking of it. No business survives with that kind of shit; It's not in their best interest.

Even better buy the same TV from someone else and use Discover to to a price protection from the other retailer who probably isn't shipping.
