Amazon pricing mistake?

[kristofk]

Hi everyone,

 

I don't know if the original price or the discount is off?!

Opinions or can someone confirm?

What is it?

The "list price" on amazon and the savings are always never realistic. 

 

Okay, they are often "technically true", but the items almost always are never sold for the list price. Most TPM modules seem to be less than $20.

seems right, the list price is probably wrong

used are shown are $7, so I think the original price most likely has an extra 0. 

 

Got a little excited when I first saw this, thought it might have been a motherboard

Amazon: 20$ item. Jack the price to $200 and offer it as a sale price of $20

As a retailer I know the problem of the "recommended retail price" all too well.
Manufacturers like to set it as high as possible, so retailers have the advantage of saying: "This would usually cost $200, but now it's 23002034% off, because we're awesome".
