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!
Got my dad a smart watch for crimpus, £25 reduced from £80 because black Friday. Out of curiosity, I checked a price tracker website, where you can see an Amazon product’s price history. It had never been above £30.
Absolute cunts. I thought that shit was illegal, which is why I never bothered to check. Fuck me, it’s like the wild West in there sometimes.

$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.
I wanted a G8 monitor or the G9
The G9 is still €1799 and the G8 went from €888 to €840.
I’ll wait for an upgrade of either and see these drop to 2/3 of msrp or something.
Yeah, that’s illegal.
Illegal here, too, but the government doesn’t care.
Might be in the US… not here.
It’s illegal in the US.
But uh, so is catching a fish with your bare hands in Kansas.
