No ones arguing contract law, just the fact you said the customer can pay more than advertised. That goes against the sales of goods act
Some major confusion here I think

No you cannot. That is illegal. It is against the the sale of goods act.
You must refuse to sell and revise the price.

TBH that comment is completely bollocks. How someone who hasnt studied even the slightest bit of contract law and looked at the processes of invitation to treat and offer's can decide that a company has to sell it at a lower price if advertised at that price is daft

depends what subject area you're doing 
but i do agree with steve (even though he's changed his tune slightly lol) that what i was taught in retail was that the lowest priced displayed for a product was the price we HAD to sell it at IF we were to sell the product and didn't refuse to.
Then again, i haven't studied law and am probably wrong - though im confused to why retail companies enforce this "myth" to staff?

i think people are reading too much from books, and word dropping.
im not saying what you've learnt is wrong, im saying in real world commerce, this is how it is.
and this has also been confirmed by several others also working in the real world.
iv learnt stuff at uni that in theory this is how X should work, but in real life other factors can govern things and it might not necessarily work the way you've been taught.

What I have been trained is that when a customer sees a price, hes goes and picks it up off the shelf as said price.
Obvously there is no contract of sale made at this point as the shop can still refuse the sale.
but if they get to a checkout you tell them what it was priced up as and they honour the sale, the contract is then formed and they must sell it at that price.
Now when they are told the price it was mistakingly marked up as they have two choices by law, refuse to sell it, or sell it at marked price or less
