Is there a reason why Amazon always sells modern books at a significant discount? Everytime I search up on Amazon a book published in the last ten years, it's always 30% off or so. Is it some kind of price discrimination, where they make public libraries pay the full price, but private buyers are offered a discount?
>>25220263It's fake$19.50 is the real price, it was never intended to be $30.00 and if it ever was, it would have been for the shortest possible time to legally say it used to be $30.00, but make no mistake, it's supposed to be $19.50
>>25220269Then why even mention $30? It can't be some arbitrary sale tactic, because they only do it with new releases, not with the classics.
>>25220404first time shopping ever? learn the difference between a "mfsrp" and the retail price. every industry does this.
>>25220404alot of places have laws about fake sales.You can't say sometihng used to be $30.00 if it never acutally was $30.00And surely it goes without saying butSaying it used to be $30.00 makes $19.50 look like a huge bargain, whereas if it was just a flat price of $19.50 (or dare I say, $20.00) that's not nearly as enticing.It's all sales tactics
>>25220412the publisher literally printed 30 dollars on the back cover but no one wants to buy it cuz it had no marketing behind it and it's mid, then retailers are gonna lower the price to get it out of the warehouse.
>>25220408>>25220412>>25220418Okay, but why don't they do that with all books? Why is Frankenstein just $12? Why don't they list it at $20 then discount it to $12? Why is it only newly published books they do it to?
>>25221065Marketing is not a science but a human decisionPerhaps whoever is selling Frankenstein just decided not to orchestrate a fake discount
