ROFLMAO!
Me too on the handwriting.
Reminds me of a ps3 error Amazon had a while back. Somehow, they were advertising gen1 ps3's for like 50$ each or some silly low number. I ordered 6. Of course, it was a glitch and I did not get my 6 ps3's.

That's 1.06 cents with tax......
Speaking of errors in craigslist adds, I don't really understand the people who are insulted if you mention price over the phone, I usually do just to prevent mistakes like that. It doesn't always help though, I once went and looked at a turbo dodge with a blown turbo, and i was going to buy it for $750 since it ran good otherwise and was in decent shape for that price. When I called back and said I wanted to come get it, the lady said something like "I decided I need to get back what I have into it, so it is $1400 now." $1400 when she bought it sure, $1400 with a bad turbo and keyed down the side, um, no. lol
Not the legal eagle here I am sure, but if they print it, they have to honor it. Otherwise it is false advertising.

pretty sure they get out of that (in most places, most of the time) with the fine print that says something along the lines of "not responsible for misprints" etc etc...

Been covered already. Generally false. Mistakes happen all the time, and generally the retailer is not liable. They often cover it anyhow if not extreme because the loss is less than the PR hit.
Assuming its not a mistake in the first place...
If you can prove it's not a mistake, then it's false advertising.
But that's tough to actually do in practice.
Speak of the devil, email ad from RacingJunk today:
CORRECTION - Please Read!
No excuses, just a straight up mistake. When we sent you this email earlier on behalf of Proform Parts, we used the wrong subject line. We meant to say FREE SHIPPING.
And yes, shipping is FREE, and it is just $5.00 for the catalog.
We apologize for any frustration this might have caused. (And yes, we are really embarrassed.) We don't want to lose your trust. We'll work harder to do better, we promise.
