Where do all these sellers come up with "Normally valued at $xxx price"? - Hailstone - Jun 25, 2018
On most products in the marketplace (shit ones) always say "This product has been valued at "$199 but get it only for $99"
Where are these so called "values" coming from? It makes 0 sense to me.

it doesn't come from anything, it's just a marketing strategy.

It’s a random value made out of thin air.

It's a fake "sale" to create a sense of urgency. It's a marketing tactic and 90% of the time is listed at the 'sale' price the entire life of the product or service.

They pull it out of their ass. I've done it before plenty of times and it can work.

It's a good marketing strategy that works wonders. Numbers are pure bullshit tho.
