A store attracts customers by an advertisement for a bargain‑priced product. Once inside, the customer discovers that the product that was advertised, the "bait," is sold out or otherwise unavailable. The "switch" occurs when a salesperson pressures the customer into purchasing a higher‑priced product as a replacement, or if customers find themselves induced to make other purchases while inside the store. Bait and switch selling affects you as a consumer. 3, record 1, English, - bait%2Dand%2Dswitch%20selling

Un magasin attire des clients en annonçant un produit à prix d'aubaine [...] Une fois dans le magasin, les clients apprennent que le produit annoncé est soit écoulé ou non disponible. Un vendeur fait pression sur les clients pour qu'ils achètent un article de remplacement plus cher [...] ou alors les clients se sentent incités à faire d'autres achats. La vente à prix d'appel vous touche comme consommateur. 2, record 1, French, - vente%20%C3%A0%20prix%20d%27appel

By advertising products at bargain prices that are not available in reasonable quantities, retailers can unfairly lure consumers into their stores, thereby taking business away from honest retailers. 1, record 2, English, - Bait%20and%20Switch%20Selling

Publié par le Bureau de la concurrence Canada. La vente à prix d'appel est une pratique anticoncurrentielle. En annonçant à prix d'occasion des produits qui ne sont pas offerts en quantités raisonnables, des détaillants réussissent à attirer par un moyen déloyal des consommateurs dans leur magasin, et à vous ravir ainsi votre clientèle. 1, record 2, French, - La%20vente%20%C3%A0%20prix%20d%27appel
