Can a store legally limit quantities of an item for sale?

Say a person wants x number of items and takes them all off the rack - can the store refuse to sell all those items to a customer? Would they be less-inclined to do that to a minority individual? Can a lawsuit be initiated then? Just curious - this didn't happen to me.Can a store legally limit quantities of an item for sale?
Yes, it is perfectly legal to limit quantities of an item for sale. For example, ';limit one per customer';.





If they have a clear pattern of treating minorities differently, then you could have a lawsuit.Can a store legally limit quantities of an item for sale?
Yes, they can. Their motive is to draw a number of different customers, not necessariliy one that buys a lot of things...





They not only limit sale items, they also limit rare items.





When Halo 3 came out there was a limit of one per household, and it wasn't on sale.
Yes, a store can limit the number of items you may buy when that item is on sale. It happens all the time. It doesn't matter if the person doing the buying is a member of a minority. No reason to file a lawsuit.
Yes.
they do it aall the time around Christmas... where you been?
Yes they can.





';Limit one per customer'; appears on ads all the time. A store can legally limit the number they sell to an individual even if they haven't posted that.





';Some'; years ago, when I was still in high school, I had a summer job in a small privately owned auto parts store. The local discount store sold cans of touch-up paint at retail for less than the manufacturer would sell them to us at wholesale, so the manager used to send us down there to buy stock over the counter. The discount store knew why we were buying them, and would limit what they'd sell us.

Yes, a store can impose limits on the number of items they are willing to sell. They can also refuse a sale to any person at any time as long as (in the US) it's not racial / religous discrimination.
Its to my Knowledge that a store can not legally limit the amount of items purchased. They can only put a cap to payments like from a credit card. Should this happen it could possibly lead to a lawsuit and discrimination if it pertains to the victim
