> But our most fruitful effort was when we removed limits and started giving "bad" data. By bad I mean alter the price up or down by a small percentage. ... If the customer made a transaction on the altered figure we we informed them and took it at the correct price.

Is that legal? It would be a big blow to trust if I was the customer, but that's without knowing what you were selling and in what market.

It’s legal if it’s in the contract. Standard for contracts to allow for mistakes and confirmations of prices

[kwhitefoot]

It's not mistake if you do it deliberately!

[killingtime74]

Yes (not saying it's a mistake) but putting confirmation can be in the contract, no law says you only get 1 chance to display price.
