Yup. Use price history websites before buying. Camelcamelcamel for eg
Most of the things in my wish list went up in price this past week, and by quite a lot
Same, I had my eye on a micro SD card for the deck, and saw the prices shoot up. Today it's back to 'normal' with a 'x% off' banner across it!
The expectation that a for profit business should make it easy for a consumer to get the best deal is delusional. What happened to "buyer beware"?
Not providing a frame of reference is one thing, but actively misleading the buyer as to previous prices is quite another.
Have a look at the rules the ASA follows for example: asa.org.uk/adv…tml
Essentially a seller should only be using RRP if it's a real price that the product is frequently bought at.
aww, so close. I'm hunting for the yearly "prime deals are disappointing this year" post.
Get back to work, Frankie.
Unfortunately this is the case every year, however I have seen some really ludicrous price increases - far more than previous years. I've already managed to get a really decent reduction on an item I was considering buying anyway, so there are still many bargains to be had
