Here we go with the analogies. And yours is wrong. United didn't ADVERTISE a $0 fare, they sold one.

If the cash register at BB rings up your TV for $10, and you swipe your card, and the 17 year old doesn't notice.... I promise you just bought a TV.

I bought a $150 desk at Staples for $10 once. It was coded in the computer as $10. It rang up. I paid. I left.
