Online price raising

What is the name of your state?Missouri
Bought an item online with a credit card at a great price. A few days later I get an email from the vendor stating that the price has now gone up and they want to charge me the difference. My credit card has already been charged the original price and I have a receipt showing this initial agreement. If I want the item, do I need to pay the difference or has a written agreement been made?

Wonderful. Now, tell me . . . How do you plan on exercising your legal rights to the contract price, ACROSS STATE LINES, if "they" simply say, "No"?

This is the problem with computer buyers. They never think about "jurisdictional" problems, and the costs of exercising their rights. Looks like you're going to have to play their game if you want your item.

So, as it turns out, the item wasn't such a great "bargain", was it.

Next time, buy locally.

Good call. I didn't think of that. You are right, not such a good price now. I can actually get it cheaper elsewhere with their price change although I am still going to question them on it and see what they say. I may just back out altogether. Thanks for the responses.
