The ₹4,000 Discount That Wasn't
Imagine headphones at ₹3,499, crossed out from ₹7,999. 56% OFF!
Looks like a steal. But if the same headphones have been selling at ₹3,699 for three months, your real saving is ₹200, not ₹4,500. (This is an illustrative example, but it happens every sale.)
The big percentage was never the deal. The price history is the deal.
Trap 1: The made-up "original" price. A big crossed-out number makes any price look small.
Trap 2: The fine-print bank offer. "10% off" often means "up to a cap, above a minimum order value." Do the maths before you celebrate.
Trap 3: The one-store view. Flipkart's price may look great until other ecommerce websites have it cheaper and vice versa.
Install the Buyhatke Chrome extension and it works right on the Flipkart product page.
