I was at a store the other day with my mom. I had no intentions of purchasing anything. But I saw these Madame Alexander dolls in a cabinet. They were old, like 1979 and 1984, etc. There were 3 left. The price on their stand read $5.95. I was shocked because these are usually $80 -$100 dolls. So I asked the lady the price. She looked at them and said they were $5.95. I couldn't believe it. My aunt collects these dolls so I grabbed them and bought them for her. As I was purchasing these dolls, I asked again if that was the correct price. She said yes. I told her I couldn't believe they would be so cheap. Well, I went to lunch with my aunt and gave her the dolls. She was floored. Very excited! Later that afternoon, the owner of the store called me (she had my number b/c if you buy something, you are put in a drawing for a prize) and she told me that those were the incorrect prices. That, instead, they were $75 a piece. Well, I bought all three and had already given them away. I would have NEVER EVER spent that much money on those dolls. She insisted that I bring them back or pay full price. I told her that it was her employees mistake and that I could not ask for the dolls back as I had given them as a gift. But I also couldn't pay that much money for them either.
So, what would you have done? I felt bad for her being out of the money, but I didn't want to be out of the money either. I wouldn't spend that much money on a doll.
