I have no doubt that the vendor's high priced lawyers (without whom the laptop would cost a lot less than $1600 but that's another rant) would argue that you are CHEATING (bad, bad you!). However, I wonder (not being a lawyer myself) whether editing the page and submitting it back would constitute a counter-offer (no, I won't pay $1600 for that fetid heap of prehistoric puke, how about $1.60?), which the vendor's server can either accept or reject. If it accepts the offer, what is wrong? Is the server not acting as a legal agent of the vendor? If not, what business does it have selling anything at any price?

If you ask me, vendors (or anyone) who lose out because they were too cheap or stupid to do things right are simply getting what they asked for.
