Wow, sorry to hear that, hopefully someone will do the right thing

good luck, don't hold your breath.

sadly..

You've go to be kidding me -- you want it back? sorry, but I doubt you will be seeing it again. Whoever the lucky SOB is that bought it has paid for their goods and done nothing wrong -- this is clearly a mistake on the part of your shop/shopkeepers. don't think you should have had it on display near anything that was for sale -- Your mistake. tough luck.

If I had purchased it I would be laughing all the way to the bank... Sorry, but I dont see you getting this one back.....

Already did offer an incentive, a Banksy related one! Good luck mate, I hope someone does the right thing seeing as you say about it's history.

Is it something like this? cgi.ebay.co.uk/Original-Banksy-t-shirt_W0QQitemZ150081209079QQihZ005QQcategoryZ360QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

if it's against the law to buy something that you know is undervalued then can't the police force the card company to release the info?
if not could you not just charge the card the rest of the value, that way you're even. if not tap up some albanians to obtain the info lebanese loop stylee. (this forum does not believe all albanians are credit card fraudsters and as such these comments in no way represent the views of the forum or the people within it) (fuckin racist).
peace.

I can't see that it would be against the law to buy something in a shop that you have been told a price for. It can't be theft or obtaining property by deception. You might have a claim to recover it in contract if you could show that the sale was made by a mistake (which shouldn't be difficult) and that the purchaser was aware of the mistake.

good luck and all that but this doesn't sound like a case of 'good' or 'bad' samaritan / customer.

sorry, but I really doubt you have a legal leg to stand on. If advertised and sold at that price I doubt the law can help, and morality has little to do with it. I've sold things undervalued due to my sheer ignorance. I felt stupid but learnt. It's a bummer but mistakes happens.

P.S. Yes I am the sort of person who hands in lost articles (done it many times, including cash - the shop assistants look at me bemused as though I'm mad), helps old ladies cross the street (even if they don't want to ), and does loads for charity, but this isn't a case for moral analysis.

It was on a t-shirt, and as such. 55 quid seems a reasonable price IMO

what does this piece look like? Nobody has posted a pic.

A contract of sale was agreed between the vendor and the purchaser at a set price. Regardless of the fact that it was a temp who handled the transaction, it's not the responsibility of the buyer to ensure correct pricing or training of staff, that's all down to the vendor.

If a vendor states a price, the buyer agrees and takes payment, the transaction is completed. There is no chance that a vendor can backtrack and demand more cash or charge the buyers creditcard without their consent. When they signed, they signed to for a specific amount as stated on the payment slip.

I really don't see any of this holding water in a court of law. If somebody was to sell a property because they urgently need the money and they sell for £20,000 less than it's market price, so does that mean they're breaking the law? So the vendor can then demand more because the property was undervalued?

I wish Griffin the best of luck that an honest citizen comes forward and hands the t-shirt back, but in all honestly the world we live in today, I'd say you bite the bullet and accept it's gone.

Good Luck,

Rik

trollies obviously. i was doing the cunt a favour!
peace.

linenbasket I have your shares bring 1/2 the value in cash in a black duffle to the corner deli. I am the one wearing the kermit the frog outfit... no funny business
