Its price this year
A fair price — but not a real “sale.”
Sale check Amazon shows “40% off,” measured against a $20 “list price” it doesn't charge. Its usual price is $12 — real discount ≈ 0%.
The phantom Amazon has left this $20 “list price” untouched for 52 months — while the item actually sold for about $12. It's a fixed anchor, not a price it charges.
