    Most sensible online vendors have an "errors and omissions" cop-out. In the UK and almost certainly everywhere else with sensible laws, a contract is only enforceable if the seller accepts the buyers offer to buy.

    Even if the system is automated and you get an acknowledgement or receipt they will have some way to wriggle out of it. e.g. argue you must have realised the offer could not be genuine and hence were acting in bad faith. What are you going to do? refuse to buy any more $50 laptops?

    • most likely, this will be the case. but they're not a small company and it would be better for their image to let it slide and avoid bad press.pizzafire
