Its price this year
A fair price — but not a real “sale.”
Sale check Amazon shows “26% off,” measured against a $229 “list price” it doesn't charge. Its usual price is $172 — real discount ≈ 2%.
The phantom Amazon has left this $229 “list price” untouched for 5 months — while the item actually sold for about $172. It's a fixed anchor, not a price it charges.
