One of my top shopper-friendly wish list features for Amazon would be reporting MSRP price (or typical retail price if MSRP isn't available) and computing not just the "discount" (when applicable) but also any "markup" (when applicable). Unfortunately Amazon benefits from opportunistic resellers/scalpers, so we'll probably lever see this.

Member States may provide for different rules for goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. 4. Where the product has been on the market for less than 30 days, Member States may also provide for a shorter period of time than the period specified in paragraph 2. 5. Member States may provide that, when the price reduction is progressively increased, the prior price is the price without the price reduction before the first application of the price reduction.
