    It’s illegal in Germany, but not in the way you think.

    It’s illegal to write to wrong price on the sign on purpose, but if it happens by accident the shop is not obligated to sell at the price on the sign.

    That’s it. You is blowing this way out of proportion.

      Kurzum: Erst wenn Sie mit der Ware an die Kasse gehen und eine eindeutige Kaufabsicht mit Preisvorstellung abgeben, entscheidet sich, ob Sie den Artikel auch wirklich zu diesem Preis erhalten. Sie haben kein Recht, den angegebenen Preis einzufordern.

      In short: Only when you take the goods to the checkout and express a clear intention to purchase at the asking price will it be decided whether you will actually receive the item at that price. You have no right to demand the stated price.

      To me, that the price label is accidental wrong doesn’t really matter.

        Yes, like I said.

        They are not obligated to give it to you at the “wrong” price, but at the same time it’s illegal to put up the sign if it’s misleading with the wrong price on purpose.

        They are then obligated to fix the sign, otherwise it’s misleading.
