Waste of time even trying to quote RRP when you never sell for that!
1st piece of clothing:
$129.95$50http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:asc1EF3…
Was just selling for $64 only 3 days ago.Deceptive advertising…
RRP and a store's normal selling price are very different things.
I'm not saying these are great details but you can't fault them for giving an RRP.@cooni
"RRP and a store's normal selling price are very different things."
Absolutely they are.
"I'm not saying these are great details but you can't fault them for giving an RRP."
I think you can fault them. To mention RRP is fine, but not without also mentioning the normal selling price.
Yes, ones a useless made up number and the other is the actual price of the item
Nothing made up about it (in this instance anyway).
I and the ACCC beg to differ. It is misleading to advertise an RRP with the intent of inflating the actual savings.
‘savings’ or ‘discount’ statements when compared to the recommended retail price (RRP), but the goods have never been sold at the RRP or the RRP does not reflect a current market price.
The item in question is actually sold for close to US$90 on Crooks N Castles' own online store. Convert the currency, add shipping or an "Australia tax" that we have on most of the stuff sold here and you easily get to $129.95.

Seeing as the goods are sold at the RRP by the maker's own online store, I would say the RRP does indeed reflect a current market price.
Yeah that's not how the law works.
Need to compare to the previous selling price of the store making the savings claim, not other stores or manufacturer (unless they explicitly state it in the advertising).

What if it's previous selling price was a 1 day sale?
@Olokun: There is nothing misleading at all about the $129.95. The good are on sale in the current market for that price, just not at Culture Kings.
Was just selling for $64 only 3 days ago.
This doesn't mean it was never sold at RRP.
That's completely irrelevant.
The important price is what the normal recent selling price was before the sale or price drop.
So if an item goes on further discount they can't quote the original price?
We have one source showing it was $64 three days ago. What about before that? Who knows, but as mentioned above, Crooks N Castles sell it for RRP."So if an item goes on further discount they can't quote the original price?"
Look at my last post above. I believe in that case that they could compare the further discounted price to "what the normal recent selling price was before the sale or price drop".
The guideline could be what price will the item return to after the further price reduction is removed. If price was already at a discounted rate for 2 or 3 months, then that comparative price used to calculate the percentage saving or dollar saving should be that discounted price (because in most cases, the price charged for that length of time should be considered the maximum "normal selling" price. If they were charging RRP for at least 2 or 3 months, then that could be considered their normal selling price.
It's not quite a straightforward topic but I still believe that any discounted offer should be compared to the normal selling price (with mention of RRP optional, but not involved in the "calculation" of savings). That would also be clearer for a store normally charging RRP (eg RRP $100, Normal Selling Price $60, Current Special $40, Savings 33%).
@jdr: Completely disagree. If a discount merchant goes on further discount I don't think they need to state what they normally sell it for, as long as the "original" or "retail" price is a valid one for the market.
"Completely disagree. If a discount merchant goes on further discount I don't think they need to state what they normally sell it for, as long as the "original" or "retail" price is a valid one for the market.
So if retailer A (maybe a small store somewhere in the same city normally sells Product A for $180, and retailer B normally sells Product A for $135, then if retailer B has a special and sells Product A for a few days at $90, then according to you he would be entitled to claim that the sale price is 50% on the normal off rather than the real reduction of 33%.
Unbelievable logic.
How can you say they've never sold it for that?
You have a 3 days ago figure. What about last month, or when it was first stocked?
Title made my head hurt….so confused
I'll get the popcorn
Can I swap my $50 worth of eneloop?
word….
swap a 50 for a 8 ball - most of the culture kings target customers
Expect the usual "i can get jeans at KMart for $12.99 why would i pay $50?"
crooked advertising on the site, the prices were not that expensive before .
Google Cache shows items were close to $50 already not the $129 the site says.
weird title…
