    Here’s the product page. You can see how it’s 46% off $119, but if you want, you can also buy it at $89 regular price. They’re now not even increasing the price of the item, they’re just claiming it’s higher.

      The normal price is $89.99, which represents a 15% discount off the MSRP of $119.99 (that they’re claiming). The current price of $64.99, is a discount of 42%, which represents an additional 27% off. I don’t think this listing necessarily proves the point.

      That being said, companies absolutely do engage in this kind of bullshit. This one may have done it itself in order to claim the MSRP at $119.99.
