MSRP is a reference. It is a ‘metric’ that the ‘market’ and or ‘manufacturer’ come up with to dictate value.
MSRP is a proposed price, not what the market will pay price… Unless to commodity is in high demand. I recall special edition cars (example, Mini Cooper GP) coming out and dealers charging 5k to 10k more than MSRP.
But also with cars there is “Invoice” price which is another fabricated metric, and MSRP which is the standard reference point.
Does it appear to be higher savings? Yes. Does that change the fact that they are selling it for less? No. Does it matter that another website had it for a difference price that is no longer available? Maybe… If you want it, you’ll either pay the price offered or wait for another site (or maybe even Woot) to have it cheaper.
But if you’re going to shop the market, you should at least understand market dynamics and nuances before complaining about the norms of the market.
An interesting place to look at “market dynamics” well at least when considering Amazon shopping is: camelcamelcamel You can find the fluctuating price for products and goods and set alerts for items when they reach your goal price.Ollie by Sphero
