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

>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.

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.
