I have a feeling...
....that advertising such as that is not allowed here anymore. Retailers must ensure that they have 'reasonable' stock levels of advertised items or risk being breached under our Trade Practices Act....
Though, in fairness to Sears, they do actually tell you how many they have.... CLICK HERE TO GO TO ronhic's LINK | ||

As long as they state how many are available there's no problem. You've been forewarned. It's when they don't say so where it usually becomes deceptive advertising. Same with the never ending sales. Most consumer laws in most states and provinces have rules on how often an item can be on sale in one year, if it's on sale too often then the sale price would legally become the "regular" price. Thing is most govt agencies who are supposed to be on the lookout don't police that sort of thing unless they get a lot of complaints.
A raincheck is a coupon/note you get from the store when they run out of an advertised special so you can get it at the sale price when new stock comes in at a later date. You don't get them on items advertised as "limited quantities" usually | ||
