3@CurtJ.Sampson No, it just means that if Bob wants to change his quote, what he's really doing is cancelling the old quote, and creating a new one. Alice's bid is no longer valid, because the original quote has been cancelled. She can choose to bid on the new one.Luaan– Luaan2020-01-23 08:26:45 +00:00Commented Jan 23, 2020 at 8:26

9@CurtJ.Sampson Depending on jurisdiction, Bob has a contractual obligation to Alice if she authorises payment, and can't change the quote without Alice's agreement.Caleth– Caleth2020-01-23 08:31:43 +00:00Commented Jan 23, 2020 at 8:31

3@CurtJ.Sampson But not whilst you have the item in your (physical) basket, or your card in their eftposCaleth– Caleth2020-01-23 12:43:35 +00:00Commented Jan 23, 2020 at 12:43

5@CurtJ.Sampson actually, in Germany where I live, prices in shops are binding. If the price tag at the shelf says an item costs 4.99€ the shop owner is not allowed to change his mind in the time I take it to the register. Same for gasoline prices which change several times a day. Once I have started pumping the price is fixed. Of course, if I see a price quote on Monday and come back on Thursday to buy the item, I can't expect the price to be unchanged.Hans-Martin Mosner– Hans-Martin Mosner2020-01-23 12:43:36 +00:00Commented Jan 23, 2020 at 12:43

4@CurtJ.Sampson You are confusing different situations. Your argument (shop pricing changes, which happen irregularly and often with advance notice) does not work for the use case of the question at hand (price changing practically at the same time as the purchase). In a real shop, if I pick up an item and a clerk changes the price tag while I'm walking to the cash register, the shop might be legally obligated to honor the price tag that was there when I picked up the item. Not at all the same as coming Monday and returning Tuesday expecting the same price.Aaron– Aaron2020-01-23 16:00:36 +00:00Commented Jan 23, 2020 at 16:00

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
