There was a big time oops today...sounds like a heck of a deal though!  Wish it was true, but the slick wording of a disclaimer doesn't hold Best Buy to this.  They can change and rearrange anything that is a misprint...is basically what the this disclaimer says.

What if an Agent or Realtor mistyped the sales price for a home?  An offer comes in and you have to explain to the sellers why someone just offered a crazy amount for that home?

OR worse yet, an agent or Realtor doesn't review the listing and the home is over priced?  Like a $97k listing turns into $997k!  No wonder there aren't any showings.

I suppose the listing agreement would stand over a MLS mistype but I don't want to look like the dummy for not representing my clients properly.

Just double check before you hit the button.

Hi Erica ~ It's so easy to get a price wrong - at least in conversation or email.  I've chuckled in the past about how frequently I'm off by 100K or so in either direction.  My clients do it too.  I live in fear of it during negotiations on an offer.

This case is different.

Imagine the Realtor had to explain to this client that he just sold their home for $4,000 instead of $400,000.  Now, I bet the client would wish for a disclaimer that said they don't have to honor a price that was made by mistake.

I find it just incredible that people thought they could get away with trying to buy a TV for almost nothing.  One news article said that some tried to buy as many as 10 TVs.  That is just astounding.

"...big time opps..." (Big time oops?) "...is basically what the this disclaimer says..." (the this?) "I don't want to look like the dummy... Just double check before you hit the button." Well, you got that last item right. One should be cautious when scrutinizing others, as you might be subject to the same scrutiny. Hope you *do* check your listings and contracts more carefully than you do your blog articles. {;c)

Good call on that one "Another Scrutinizer"...It not a good thing when I'm the one calling out Best Buy and I did an oops myself!

That's what I get for running a quick blog post while handling two closings and phone calls at the same time.  Spell Check can't save me from being human.
