Question

There is a law that if a price is listed on a product, even by mistake, the seller must sell at the listed price. According to Halacha, can the seller be compelled to do so?

Answer

In places where Torah and mitzvot are not observed and this has become a custom, it is permitted according to the custom of the land. However, in Bnei Brak, it is unclear what the custom is, and in stores where this is practiced, it is permissible to demand that they sell at this price.
