Nothing new. Similar widely publicized pricing mistakes have occured numerous times dating way back the early days of ecommerce.
Such large pricing errors, with or without a disclaimer, are NOT enforceable.
A judge will rule, assuming the case isn't tossed at the getgo, that forcing such a sale would be an unconscionable; unreasonable.
IMHO, for a buyer to prevail against Best Buy they'd need to document that Best Buy had intentionally priced them for $9.99. Good luck with that :lol:
There was a widely publicized snafu regarding a newspaper give away (I think it was in NYC) a few years back in which thousands of people thought they'd won the grand prize. Needless to say, the newspaper didn't pay out - people complained, sued, etc but got nowhere.
