If you still use Amazon, get the CamelCamelCamel addon. It shows you a graph of how the price of an item has changed, so you can see if a sale is really a discount of just one of these fake “sales”.
Easy to use, doesn’t need an account, doesn’t even need to be installed as an extension. Works for non-US amazon.
Thank you for promoting this!

$699 … NOW!!! … THE SAVINGS!! … TAKE THEM NOW!!!Reminds me of when Circuit City was finally going out of business and they were having a liquidation sale. There were some TVs I was looking at and they were regularly priced at like $800. They had STACKS of those TVs they couldn’t move.
Then CC was going out of business and was going through liquidation. The same TVs were being advertised as MSRP $1,299 but 25% liquidation pricing and people were buying 2 at a time.
Yeah, that’s illegal.
Illegal here, too, but the government doesn’t care.
Might be in the US… not here.
It is in Europe. The advertised ‘from’ price must be the lowest price of the last 30 days.
