Black friday, en rea, så priset rör sig som förväntat

Edit: I wasn’t awake enough to see I wasn’t posting in feddit.nu, Hjalmar translated very nice, thx :). The image is of the price of Xbox X in Sweden as I read the price history on prisjakt.nu, a price comparison site. What I perhaps should have included is the price history for not only since 4/11, but the fact that the price had been the same since 5/6 when the price went from 6189 SEK to 5290. There has been a lot of advertising about not only black friday, but black week in sweden (apparently black half-year ;)), so let’s hope for the price to drop down under 5290 on cyber monday then shall we :D

    It seems Norwegian. Even if not in the EU, Norway also adopted the omnibus directive that forces online sellers to post the lowest 30 days price nearby the discounted price.

    So they can’t increase the price and then say “wow, discount!”

    TL;DR: that webstore infringed the law and should be reported and fined

      Germany implemented this law in a way which allows stores to post the recommended retail price instead.

      It’s a fucking shitshow, the RRP is always set way too high and there are “30% sales” all the time now.

    Isn’t that illegal though? I’m in Denmark where a product needs to have had the same price for at least 30 days, before you can compare it as a “before” price. Also sales prices need to be a limited time offer (can’t spike the price for 30 days and the sell on discount for 6 months). I believe it is 10 days limit.
