"Tangles No More with a Funky ONE Metre USB Noodle Cable for Just $13! Valued at $46. Your Choice of 3 Colours! Compatible with iPads, iPhones & iPods. Delivery Included"

The same items sell elsewhere for $2.19 Delivery Included. How can $13 be a 'deal'? Where did this $46 value/price come from?

I am thinking that stating these are valued at $46, that the "full price" is $39, and that one is therefore saving "72%" is more of a scam than a rip off.

    How is selling something more expensive a 'scam'? 'Rip-off' maybe.

      Thanks for that - I have edited my post and its title.

      I believe that SPREETS statements regarding -
      a "$46 value"
      a "full price" of $39
      a saving of "72%"
      are what turn this from just a rip off into a scam and a rip off.

      group buys sites are hardly deal sites. they more closely resemble market places nowadays. take said product, inflate it's value by 70%, offer product at the "deal" price of it's original price, … profit???

      "but still a nice product!"

      Yup. I have purchased 3 for $5 delivered.

      They are good for travel.
