Is Every Online Deal Offering The Lowest Price?

As online sales have begun in nearly every e-commerce platform, whether it is Amazon, Myntra, or Flipkart, some deals are genuine, offering massive discounts. But some are nothing more than a disguised trick to grab customers' attention, according to Sujit, an analyst from a research firm tracking e-commerce trends.

Sujit, an analyst from a research firm tracking e-commerce trends, highlighted that many so-called "deals" aren't actually the lowest prices seen historically. Citing an example, he pointed out that the Sony Bravia TV, currently listed at ₹39,990 as part of a promotional offer, was previously available for as low as ₹35,999. "Despite being marketed as a discount, the current price is higher than what it was earlier," he said, adding that such pricing tactics are common during sales events.
