      In fact many stores have "sale" signs that report the regular price as a sale price.

    • Archman
      Archman 2009-03-09T06:38:13Z says:

      In fact, they aren't refering to the sale sign.

      shiro 2009-03-09T07:14:19Z says:

      Unless is says "Sale" then its not a "Sale". "As Advertised": Just in an Ad. "Price Cut": New price. "Clearance": We do not want this shit anymore, you take it.

      yak 2009-03-09T04:53:16Z says:

      i didn't either until it was pointed out to me that in the picture he actually flipped up the current "promotion" tag (the one that says 'was 24.99 now 19.99' to show the ORIGINAL tag saying it was 19.99 not on sale... so.. um.. yeah... the original price was actually 19.99 and they made a tag that said 24.99 to make it seem like it was on sale ;/

    • shiro
      shiro 2009-03-09T05:53:26Z says:

      No, if you read the big yellow balloon you'll see it is a "Price Cut". As in $19.99 is the new regular price. The label underneath has been changed to ensure the right price is shown if someone removes the fold up sign.

      HankChinaski 2009-03-09T06:08:54Z says:

      No, you are incorrect.

    • HankChinaski

      Actually, I think you might be right.

    • yak
      yak 2009-03-09T06:22:30Z says:

      he is in fact wrong... if you look at the angle of the "price cut" you'll see that the price tag plastic thing is shaped like |_ which shows the current thing as "was 24.99 now 19.99" or else the "price cut" sign will be at a 90degree angle.....

      that makes no sense why they would put that under there :(

      I don't think so.

    • shiro
      shiro 2009-03-09T07:11:33Z says:

      Here is how it works: In the US you can only advertise a permanent price reduction (price cut) for 60 days. Retailers (like Target) want to do this for as long as possible. So when they reduce the price they replace the old price label with the new one and put an easily removed label over it showing the was:is comparison. Then on day 61 they can just take the was:is label down before the store opens without having think about it.

      This also ensures that if someone takes down the was:is label early, the correct price is up even if they don't notice the was:is sign is missing for another 30 days.

      I only know this because I worked there during college and shopper-stupidity in regard to signs and pricing always pissed me off.

      It says 19.99, it rings up 19.99, shut up and pay 19.99 you whinny bitch.

    • yak
      yak 2009-03-09T07:15:19Z says:

      so basically its the consumers that are paying for that price tag to be there for 60 days... YET MORE PROOF THAT SOCIALISM IS RUINING AMERICA

    • shiro
      shiro 2009-03-09T07:19:43Z says:

      Wait, what? If consumers are paying for it, its capitalism. If EVERYONE pays for it equally regardless of if they shop there or not or the label is subsidized by the government, then its socialism.

      Of course I buy tools from Target, JTK. If you research, you'll find many tools come from identical manufacturers, just name branded differently. Take Husky from Home Depot, for instance, They are the same exact tools from Stanley, just higher priced. I have the Stanley 201 piece mechanics tool set, and the ratchets, sockets, et al, are the same exact ones in the Husky set. BTW, Stanley owns Husky.

    These were obviously original price tags that weren't removed yet. All the other original tags in other departments were gone. These were the only ones side by side with the "price cut".
