Legal Question in Consumer Law in Texas
False advertising on internet page.
10 co-workers buy an item purchased at a low price over an internet store front. The store cancelled the order and did not honor the price. Sales rep promised to honor the price to 3 of the 10 people and later changed their minds and sent a link to a disclaimer. The disclaimer is very hard to find on the website and is several links into the page. Since we all purchased the same item and even witnessed over phone reps saying they would honor the price is there something they we can do legally to get this item back for the marked price?
Below is the disclaimer.

Further,***reserves the right to change its prices at any time without notice.

In addition to Mr. Bradie's response, have you reported them to ebay? It is my understanding that ebay will suspend an account over a documented price switch. It may be enough to get them to comply with the advertised price.
Re: False advertising on internet page.
They can change their price at any time, except after a contract for sale has been entered into. You probably have a legal cause of action, but you'll have to sue to enforce that right where the seller is located.
