True, although if you're in the EU, there should be a 30 days reference period.
"In all EU countries traders are obliged, when offering a discount, to indicate the lowest price applied to the item at least 30 days before the announcement of the price reduction."
Of course, enforcement of such rules is the problem here. But if you notice such discrepancies, you are more than encouraged to file a complaint to the shop and then to your national agency responsible for the protection of consumers if the seller doesn't act in good faith. I was fairly surprised to see how well the latter has worked against a large company in my Balkan country.

- Kkoala 2y agoYeah, some just increase the price 30 days before black Friday though, and then offer a huge "discount"
- ozim 2y agoI heard some even go as far as increasing price slowly in period of 6 months before BF. To drop it on that day as discount.

- Dansvidania 2y agoI did not know, thanks for the info. But that is one country among many that constitute the EU.
- Dansvidania 2y agoan admittedly shallow search for this topic resulted in a wikipedia page[1] that states that the EU witheld funding to regions in Poland that have policies that were summarily characterized as "LGBT-free zones". In EU language, this is pretty strong distancing from such positions. [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ-free_zone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ-free_zone

- Foobar8568 2y agocamel for Amazon, and in Switzerland, we have toppreise. One major online store is also providing full price history (digitec/galaxus).
