    It used to be the case in the UK (and maybe still is) that you couldn’t mark something on sale unless it had actually been listed at a higher price for however long. I assume that that kind of consumer law doesn’t exist in freedom land.

      We have that in Australia but all it does is lead to inflated RRPs. Now you have to wait for ‘sales’ to pay a reasonable price and if you don’t plan ahead you just get ripped off.
