isn't this false advertising?

[apac]

At first this seemed like a hot deal which is why I'll post this here.

So I was shopping around for DVD players and at Buy.com they have the Pioneer DV-363K for sale @87.99, but advertise the list price at $400 ( Link). "You Save: $312.01
". A great deal right? It seemed like their pricing had a glitch so I decided to check the Pioneer site. Shockingly, they list the price at $229.00 CDN, which is less than $200 US.

Can sites like Buy.com forge prices that? Either way, be wary of listed prices.

Sorry, this is not a Hot Deal. Please post this in the Moderator sponsored ~~~~ Brag & Moan ~~~~ thread.

It's probably just a typo and they're not responsible for those.

yep 30% of all kb toys purchases over 30$ today and tomorrow.
they have to make good 30 million$ anything short of this will be given to charity

Today is the LAST day 8th - 14th (But the sale in most places started on the 6th so it could get extended for the weekend).
