While looking for a new laptop, I stopped by Fry's Electronics to find the 
model I wanted at $600 below retail.  When I asked why it was so low, I was 
told that it was a mistake and they adjusted the price in their computers.  
Although I was told that they would sell me the product for the listed 
price, the store manager eventually stated that they were under no 
obligation to do so and cancelled the lower price.

Since I am not an expert in consumer law, I thought I would put the question 
to the list: Is there any law regulating this situation, and, if so, what 
is it?

Thanks in advance.
