You mean the one that was $200 before the AI chip BS?
No, the one that was damn near $100 before the BS.
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
It's already illegal in Canada, you can report them to the Competition Bureau. I don't think its very well enforced though.
My buddy called-in Sportchek when they were advertising skis for like $900 but "marked down" to 200! They had to stop that practice as a result of his report.
In fact, in the EU that is regulated by article 6A (see https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX%3A52021XC1229%2806%29 ) . That states amongst other things that:
Any announcement of a price reduction shall indicate the prior price applied by the trader for a determined period of time prior to the application of the price reduction. … The prior price means the lowest price applied by the trader during a period of time not shorter than 30 days prior to the application of the price reduction.
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.
I'm seeing the WD 2TB at $510 off. Crazy.
What a great deal! That's 50% off! /s
discounts are lies, always have been, and before the "it is illegal to lie about disconts", have you ever seen it enforced? I haven't, I track theprices of some goods in some local stores where I live, I have made formal complaints, what happens? nothing, nothing ever happens
I haven't ever seen Lovense's products not at ~50% discount. I was buying something on Christmas and rushing to beat the sale in case another wasn't for a whole, but as soon as midnight rolled around, lol and behold the Boxing Day Sale went live.
Ah, they're warning you they will almost double the regular price after the "sale" ends, how kind.
I bought the left one with 1 TB for 64€ in the beginning of December. This is around 75US$.
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.
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
And it's only a WD blue. Absolutely absurd.
the only appreciating asset I own are the several 1-2 TB SSDs I have lmao
Presented without comment, SanDisk's MSRP for that drive is $579.99 CAD.
Oh no it's only "one per customer" !!
More like $300 on.
I'm tired boss.
I bought that exact same black one like 3 years ago. I'm almost positive it was like $150 . Maybe less.
