Its price this year
A fair price — but not a real “sale.”
Sale check Amazon shows “25% off,” measured against a $44 “list price” it doesn't charge. Its usual price is $35 — real discount ≈ 5%.
The phantom Amazon has left this $44 “list price” untouched for 23 months — while the item actually sold for about $35. It's a fixed anchor, not a price it charges.
