Hi Ari;
 It seems to me that what Austin have done might be quite illegal.  I know for sure that if a supermarket advertises an item let's say for $10 and at the cash register they ask $15 for it, they have to sell it to you for $10, whether they like it or not....

On a slightly different note: This was sent to me some time ago, I guess it might come handy to someone.
