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.
