There are other reasons for deciding not to sell a house after advertising it other than pulling a bait-and-switch scam. Maybe the seller changed their mind about selling it, or realized the house is worth more than they advertised it for. The mere fact that someone placed an ad for their house doesn't legally obligate them to sell it. I'm not a lawyer so don't know what exactly would legally be considered a bait-and-switch, but I presume you'd have to show that the plan all along was to use the initial offer as bait in order to draw a buyer into some other deal.

While you're absolutely right, I don't see how its relevant in this case.

I mean, its pretty obvious that their plan is to use the excitement of the harrier jet to lure people into buying pepsi and pepsi points. The question really becomes: might a reasonable person believe that they're actually selling the jet. I would say its quite likely. I think this is bad precendent.
