Counterpoint, there are some times where the older model is actually preferred, either due to being just as good and cheaper, or rarely better than the new model. I don't know how their choice algorithm comes up with those labels, but a cheaper older model isn't always a bad deal.
Unless the $150 base price is what it normally sells at, and the $50 discount was truly a one time deal... In which case idk what is going on there lol.
- trevor-e 8y agoIn fairness to Amazon I'll let you judge for yourself since they still list the prices as 149.99 and 139.99: - Rexing V1: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X528FNE/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X528FNE/ - Rexing V1 3rd gen: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077B25H9K/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077B25H9K/ Half-way down the page there is a comparison with some other Rexing products, but it's not obvious IMO with the price confusion they create. I've seen it "on sale" for at least the last few months.
- dmoy 8y agoYea I definitely dislike the habit of retailers from showing MSRP as the list price despite the fact that no retailer has sold that product at MSRP for like 3 years. It's no longer a useful comparison for the consumer, and just behaves like a shady anchor point to make it seem like a good deal.
