I don't know. I was raised not to try to screw people because they made a mistake.

I have to agree with you, and i think that's why i posted this in the first place, and were asking everybody what they thought, i needed to convince myself that i was doing good, when my concience was saying i wasn't. At night i had to accept to myself that eventhough law was on my side, i was trying to take advantage of the situation.
Well, today we all met in the consumer protection office (by the way, i live in Guatemala). The poor bastards had one hell of a time, the publicity agency was called to be at the meeting as well, and they declared that the mistake had been pointed to the advertiser, but they decided to publish the ad that way. The agency even had a note signed by the advertiser where they declared they wanted the ad to be published with the $410.00 price tag. The agency explained that many times advertisers tag their prices low, so people will come to their shops and buy other stuff. The shop owner was changing colors all the time!!!! at one time we thought he was going to cry!!!! In the end, they were fined $15,000.00 and sold one of my friends the tv on $410.00. My other friend and me left empty handed, anyway, the wifes woulded cut our balls if we woulded appear at home with the TVs. Well, at last theese guys were punished for pulling out this stupid stunt, and i have a better TV to watch the football at my friend's house, so in a way i still won something...
