Groupon Goods Artificially inflating MSRP on product in order to create false impression of discount Internet
Report Attachments
Groupon is selling refurbushed Apple TV devices at higher-than-retail price with a claim of "30% Off"(groupon.com/deals/gg-apple-tv-with-1080p-hd-13).
They market this bogus bargain by stating that the regular price of the product is $99.99, even though the established MSRP for NEW Apple TVs is $69. They then supplement the ad with action-inspiring verbiage which imply limited quantities and time in order to encourage the customer to make a quick decision.
