    That’s why I live in the EU, and they have to include the lowest price in the last 30 days with the “discount” price.

      So if you raise the price 31 days prior, and then put the discount on, you should still be good to squeeze more profit!

          Maybe the 30 day decrease in profit would be worth the additional units sold later (possibly at a slightly elevated price), due to the marketing of a perceived “deal”.

          I guess there’s a lot of variables that could come into play (type of product, inventory, how many units need to sell over a time period to break even, etc), but it doesn’t seem implausible, so much as it does dependent. But idk, I still can’t figure out how the fuck magnets work, let alone accounting
