no kudos for them
That's sick
There was a settlement of $50,000,000 in a class action lawsuit against JC Penney (an American retail chain) for deceptive pricing (fake discounts via "price anchoring") a couple years ago.
Here is the website of an attorney involved in that case:

You're mistaken. It is legal to increase and decrease prices, it is illegal to claim high regular price when it never was. What the company is doing is legal, normal and fine and specifically to avoid being illegal. That's why I'm reacting the way I am.
It's like saying something on sale for $39 when regular price is $99 and they've only ever sold it for as high as $69... that is what Sears got in trouble for and what is illegal.
The tests are flawed because we know the result is a sale on BF to be better than previous deal offered. This is expected. For everyone.
How can things ever be on sale if prices don't go back up ever?
