Seriously, in the days of internet and search engines, do online retailers really expect people won't notice their grossly inflated price?

I just saw a banner ad here on CPF, totting "20% OFF FOR CPF MEMBERS!". Wow cool I thought, so I click on it and check the price. Well guess what, the particular brand of flashlight they advertise is more expensive than my local brick and mortar stores! Traditionally canadian b&m store is already more expensive than u.s. counter part, and this online retailer is 40%, that's right, 40%, more expensive than local canadian b&m store!

I guess there are who people really fall for this for them to pull this stunt. :duh2:
 
Discussion of dealers and their practices should be handled in the proper forums of our MarketPlace board. I'll close this one for you.
