If it’s got a price is it for sale?

[Sharkhandler]

Hi all,

So for the last year all Rolex watches at the goldsmiths in Reading UK have had the standard ‘for exhibition only not for sale’ tab.

Two weeks ago I went past and saw they had an explorer 2 in black with a price on it. There were loads of pm Rolexes with prices also.

So, without thinking I asked to buy it, and was given the standard ‘name down, 2 year wait blah blah’ sales pitch from 2022. I then asked to buy that specific one as it had a price tag, but was told ‘oh this is because rolex said we had to list watches with prices’.

There were still plenty of watches with the ‘exhibition only’ tag.

UK people, does anyone know what the consumer law is? If an item is in a shop window with a price tag, can you buy that item or can you legally be refused like I was.

Just curious
