No, a mistake is a mistake. If it was intentionally false, that's another matter.

I believe they have to honor the price. Talk to the prosecuting attorney in your community. That is called the "bait and switch." It is fraud.

To my knowledge, they are not legally obligated to honor the advertised price.

You may have a claim for CSPA violations but I would need more information.
