It may not be binding if the price was only in an advertisement sheet. There's one exception: The offer contains an obvious and severe error (e.g. a wrong decimal point). Whether an ended special offer is an obvious error would probably really need a court decision. | |

Him telling you the price is probably just confirming the fact of the invitation to treat on the sign unless it was clear from his words and conduct that he was offering to sell it to you at that price. Merely telling you the price probably isn't enough in which case your "ok we'll take it" is the offer and his refusal is the rejection. I suspect this is a situation where only a court can give you a definitive answer as it will entirely depend on the construction of what the parties said and did. | |

For that to happen both sides need to have agreed (technically, one side offers and the other side accepts). But the mere fact of the price being advertised isn't an offer, it is an invitation to treat. A quick Google check suggests to me that that is applicable in Ireland too. | |
