Paler than a Welshman?! Do you mean to say that somewhere on the Globe there is a place that gets less sun than Wales?!

What brings the question... why do I have pay the "100%" the rest of the year?
On the other hand... that for 60% of the price... They are just trickster.
Two weeks ago, something I was interested in... price 115€
Friday... List Price 151€ but with EXCLUSIVE OFFER 31% OFF, you get it for 109€ (just 6€ less than 2 weeks ago, although they scream 42€ discount)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

That's illegal in the UK, unless they can prove that they have been selling the item for the elevated price.
It's obviously not illegal in NL, though, because they do it all the time. If a Dutch shop/vendor/salesman offers you a "bargain", it's safest to just keep walking.

... in a 28 day period, in at least one store (though the rules have been changed slightly in teh last year or so: No more "28 day" rule – pricing and promotions under the spotlight | marketinglaw[^])
So many companies have one "expensive" product per store, and can then use that as the reference price for the sale in all stores. Sofa X was priced at £500 in Swansea, but £200 everywhere else. On sale at £199 countrywide, for a massive discount of X%!

Yep - people see the percentage reduction rather than the price they are going to pay.
It's like the old £2999 or £2985 trick where a lot of people see it as £2000.

Or "up to 70% off!" This does include the 99% of offers at 1% off, and the one product no-one will ever buy at 70% off. 
I get a lot of "Black Friday / Cyber Monday" offers with that ...

Well, at least a law that forces you to overtly display that you're a scammer is better then no law at all.

There are variations by state in the US, but it is typically required that information, such as "intermediate discounts may have been taken" or "off manufacturer's list price" appear in the advertising, to mitigate the ability to scream fraud!
The customer should still be a savvy customer, or, the highest law in all of business comes into play:
