85" TU800 4K UHD Samsung TV Advertised as $1,199 (Teletime)

$1998 on their official flyer

Clearly a price error if the actual site has it listed at 1999.99... someone just hit a "1" instead of a "9".

Trying to price match an obvious price error is pretty unethical.

Somebody is going to lose his job before Christmas, not good.

Same can be said for any error.

Is an error of judgement also unethical? Such errors cause thousands of Canadians to be taken advantage of from telecommunications contracts to mortgages. Is that unethical for corporations to do? Or did the consumer err in reading and do it themselves? Should the corporation have stepped in and stopped them?

What about withholding information in the free market? Lack of information causes the consumer to err. Do you know the markup of on TVs is approximately 100%? Does that change anything? Does it even matter?

Unless specifically asked, no point in giving your opinion on ethics, everyone has their own.

It’s boxing week. Can’t match anyway.

Give me a break... of course an honest error in judgement isn't unethical. What kind of argument is that? But Intentionally passing off incorrect information as valid for personal-gain is 100% unethical.

What are you, the internet police? I'll write whatever tf I want.

Hi, i am not interessed by the TV but guys how do you shop in teletime website? I am looking for a deal for a washer and dryer, i wanted to look the prices on this website. Most of the items you have only a button of : click here for the price.. I filled out the request and never got a response in 1 week. I have even go the live chat but no answer. You can not see the price and you can not order it either anytime. I do not know much about Teletime but this is really ridiculous is garbage.

call them

So, where’s the best place for me to price match this? Best Buy online or Visions Electronics online?

My God says he’ll let it slide if I ask for forgiveness after the fact. I’d give you his contact information but unfortunately RFD doesn’t allow referral links.

It’s been corrected online

Whoever snitched to them is a grinch...

Don’t call store and see what happens.

Whatever you're smoking right now, you should probably stop.

So I actually went into Visions and Best Buy earlier to try to get one. The guy at Visions told me it was clearly a price error since his cost was 1980 and they were already selling it at cost at Visions. He said he didn't mind price matching Boxing Day offers, but he isn't obligated to price match what he thought was an error. The guy at Best Buy told me that Teletime was not an authorized reseller of Samsung TV's and that they wouldn't price match with them. He said they generally only price match TV's with Walmart and Visions (maybe some other place he might have named). He did, however, offer 200 dollars off the current price of 2000.
