Haven’t seen this in the comments, shouldn’t this shit be illegal? Forgive me if i am being dumb
For companies "illegal" just means "make more money than the fine you'll pay once you're caught".
They'll sometimes bring in the exact same form with a different SKU/UPC so it's technically a new product.
Also look out for weasel words like "Compare To", "X value", or "Special Buy" where they aren't actually saying it's on sale.
New items can't be "on sale." It is that simple. The price is the price.
I'm almost certain it is
Maybe in the EU, but it's standard practice in the US.
Nope, it's illegal in the US. File a complaint with the FTC and they'll look into it.
