Ha, ha, ha, no. Stop with the fraudulent “regular price” claims.
$199 was the alleged future retail price on the Kickstarter, where people could contribute $99 in hopes that the product would actually get made and shipped to them (only 186 people took them up on buying one out of the 2500 offered for that price, and if they couldn’t sell out the 2,500 offered up for $99 each during their Kickstarter, what’s the chance they subsequently sold any for $199?).
The sharpener retails for $89 on Amazon. And for $79 on the manufacturer’s site. That is, the “regular price” is $79-$89, not $199.
So, the product is being sold by Stack Social at a $10-$20 discount, but it is not being sold for a $130 discount.
At some point Stack Social needs to be held accountable for the constant and, I can’t imagine otherwise, knowingly fraudulent discount claims it makes in it’s extensive marketing campaigns, especially since Stack Social is based in California which has a specific law about such claims in advertising, requiring that the claimed regular price must have been the prevailing price for 3 months. I doubt anyone ever paid $199 for the Angle Pro, let alone that it was the prevailing price for 3 months. I suspect that price is entirely fictional.
