Personally I weigh it up as;
a) how desperate you are to have that item
b) is it worth the time and hassle to 'win' your case.
The latter being the most important...if you can afford to waste weeks arguing the toss, the go ahead. Otherwise....life's too short.

Let's assume ....
Someone walks into a shop and they have a Grandfather Clock reduced from £2895 - marked down to £895.
They haggle hard and buy it for £800 - bargain!!
The shop agrees to deliver it within the week - they pay for it and leave their details.
Then, the Head Office of the shop telephones them and informs them that they will not be delivering the clock unless the person pays £1895. Apparently, the marked down price should have been £1895 and not £895!!
Was the sale concluded in the shop on payment and acceptance of delivery address? I believe that it was ..... or, is the sale only completed when said item is delivered?

As if they are going to sell you an item that was marked wrong by a grand, no shop in their right mind would do that.
let me guess youve got **** all else to do again, right pete?

Big mistakes on their part in such a way are their own hard luck.

There was an offer to treat / chaffer, an acceptance and Consideration (the money) so the contract is concluded and legal title passes over to the buyer........ simple in theory.
If the shop holds onto the clock then buyer sues for breach of contract and loss of right to enjoyment of the clock.

I had something similar with Halfruads about 20 years ago with a bicycle frame. I damaged my frame so paid a £10 deposit on a £75 one in Halfrauds only for them to say a few days later that was the price for the forks only and the frameset was £300. As I'd sold my fame to a friend I needed it, and, as a poor student I couldn't afford £300. I pushed, they resisted, I requested an alternative, they couldn't find one. Eventually I ordered the same one (without paying a deposit) at another Halfrauds and when it arrived I produced my deposit reciept and collected my frameset

If you paid and it was agreed contract is made.
If they refuse to deliver it as none in stock what about the one that was on display in the sho tha tyou must have seen and looked at to know you wanted it.
failing that buy a swatch.
