pricing error
Wrong cost displayed
A pricing error is a mistake in the stated cost of something—a misprint, a system glitch, or a clerk's typo that makes an item appear cheaper or more expensive than intended.
Retailers sometimes honor pricing errors as a goodwill gesture, but most reserve the right to cancel orders placed at obviously incorrect prices: The airline voided tickets sold at $50 due to a pricing error.
