Resistible Savings

Here’s an amusing post I encountered over at Amazon.ca, while looking for a cheap headset. At first glance, I was glad to see it was selling for less than the list price, but then I noticed exactly how much was being saved.

<sarcasm>How can I say no to such a generous offer?</sarcasm>

I’m not sure whether this is a mistake, now that I think about it. I can see why it would be beneficial to show that all their items have savings applied, regardless of the amount. After all, it made me react positively, that is, until I noticed the amount saved. Either way, it appears the Americans get a better deal… blame Canada?

Update January 8, 2023: Amusingly, since this post was originally written, the Canadian Amazon posting has been discontinued, and the American now costs a whopping $174.31. I’ve thus removed the Amazon links.
