wrong price

Error on tag

A wrong price is an incorrect price, typically one displayed or charged in error.

The phrase appears most often in retail contexts when a tag, register, or advertisement shows an amount different from what was intended: The cashier honored the wrong price on the shelf.

In financial markets, a wrong price may refer to a trade executed at an erroneous value, sometimes requiring correction or cancellation.
