discounts are lies, always have been, and before the “it is illegal to lie about disconts”, have you ever seen it enforced? I haven’t, I track theprices of some goods in some local stores where I live, I have made formal complaints, what happens? nothing, nothing ever happens

I haven’t ever seen Lovense’s products not at ~50% discount. I was buying something on Christmas and rushing to beat the sale in case another wasn’t for a whole, but as soon as midnight rolled around, lol and behold the Boxing Day Sale went live.

And it’s only a WD blue. Absolutely absurd.

So according to them a 2tb drive costs almost as much as my entire pc did when I bought it a few months ago. A pc which has a 1tb m.2 in it I might add. I have my doubts.

Still cheaper than a mac

I’m tired boss.

Ah, they’re warning you they will almost double the regular price after the “sale” ends, how kind.

I bought the left one with 1 TB for 64€ in the beginning of December. This is around 75US$.
Even if the 2 TB would double the price, these prices from the ad are just crazy.

Got Samsung 990 evo plus 4TB for 180€ in October. Good price even then.

Presented without comment, SanDisk’s MSRP for that drive is $579.99 CAD.

Oh no it’s only “one per customer” !!

I bought that exact same black one like 3 years ago. I’m almost positive it was like $150 . Maybe less.

Oh, right. Time for off time.

You mean the one that was $200 before the AI chip BS?
iamthetot@piefed.ca 2 weeks ago
Yes but even accounting for the price spike in the last 3 months, that drive does not cost over $1,000 without a sale. These kinds of sale tactics honestly need to be illegal.

I think they are illegal in many countries, but I guess it isn’t well enforced
pro_user@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
In fact, in the EU that is regulated by article 6A (see eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=… ) . That states amongst other things that:
So maybe it wouldn’t apply for a 3 month period, but it does prevent stores from increasing the price by say 20% overnight and then give a “10% discount” the next day.

It’s already illegal in Canada, you can report them to the Competition Bureau. I don’t think its very well enforced though.

No, the one that was damn near $100 before the BS.
