| Homeroids said: I would have thought that when you pre-order a product you are entering into a contract and therefore that price is binding. Yeah sure, who is going to get upset if you got a pleasant surprise at the time of handover? There are issues with this. Very few may do this, but what happens if the pre-order is paid fully up front? In Australia, we "layby" items all the time. It means you have fully paid for an item to get it at that price and then pick it up when it comes in or pick it up when both parties agree is a convenient time. So, what I am saying is that with any pre-order, if monies are exchanged, you are binding the final price. It's a contract. |
Most preorder places don't require you to put down the full price. Some places like Amazon require you to but if the price lowers between the time you preordered it and it releases, you get money back (and if the price goes up, you still only pay your original price).
