Its price this year
A fair price — but not a real “sale.”
Sale check Amazon shows “45% off,” measured against a $6 “list price” it doesn't charge. Its usual price is $3 — real discount ≈ 0%.
The phantom Amazon has left this $6 “list price” untouched for 21 months — while the item actually sold for about $3. It's a fixed anchor, not a price it charges.
