    Littlewoods Ireland selling silent night memory foam core pillows for €15. These appear to be the same as pillows advertised in recent groupon deal for €14. (82% discount) on behalf of uk-bedding.co.uk. If this is the case it is very misleading and unethical and should not be tolerated in deceiving people to think they are getting a bargain when they are NOT. plus you have to pay postage to get these pillows with groupon whereas Littlewoods dOnt charge delivery.

    This is extremely common practice, especially on these type of sites. You just have to determine the value of the products yourself, just ignore the "before price" in all cases, I don't know why people attach any meaning to it.

    Look at pizza places, constantly buy one get one free, its laughable, but many people do fall for this strategy of conning people into thinking it was a higher price.

    There was a guy selling a gadget on pigsback before, it was claiming something like 80% off, the exact same item was on dealextreme for a lot less with free shipping. This chancer's deal was up for a single day, I worked out that if he ordered all the items direct from dealextreme and had them individually dropshipped out to all the buyers (i.e. no reference to dealextreme on the packet) then he would have made over €4,000.
