It is in Europe. The advertised ‘from’ price must be the lowest price of the last 30 days.

[–] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Which is why the price starts raising a couple months before stuff like this. So it looks like a real sale, it should really be the lowest advertised price over the last year

I live in Europe, but my country is not part of the EU. That's probably EU regulations/laws.

Being a small town business doesn't automatically make you a saint. They still need to follow the rules they signed up for.

And two things can be bad at once.
