Do prices have to be displayed?
Are we required to display prices? Retailers must display product prices clearly, either on the label or nearby (for example, with a price indication on the shelf under the goods). Similarly, restaurants, hotels and similar businesses must show prices on a price list (for example, on their menus).
Does a retailer have to Honour advertised price?

What happens if an item is priced incorrectly?

Does a company have to honor a price mistake?
In general, there’s no law that requires companies to honor an advertised price if that price is wrong.

If a company can demonstrate that an advertised price was simply a mistake, then it’s not false advertising.
Will Amazon Honor price mistake?
By law, Amazon is not required to honor a sale price if it was a clear mistake. But even then, a merchant might be able to cancel the purchase if the price was so low that a buyer should have known it was a mistake. An online retailer’s fine print may relieve it of the duty to fulfill orders based on pricing errors.”
