I was looking at a wallet on David Jones website, $50 but out of stock. Yet I found the exact same wallet, same name, same photos, listed with a different 'style number' for supposedly $60 at '20% off' bringing it down to 47 bucks. Im wondering if this is a tactic companies use to get away with price jacking? You cant buy it for 20% of $50 because its 'out of stock'. Or is this likely to be just a website error. Just curious if others came across this sort of thing on other sites.
Are Websites Relisting Items So They Can Price Jack?

My point is it appears to have been done purposely so you cant buy it for 20% of $50 = $40
A different style number could mean its the same item but they're getting it made somewhere different.
Fair point, particularly at the moment.
'tuscan leather brown' instead of 'cowboy leather brown'
The second item is 6% cheaper than the first one. Buy that one.
