It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Good news! Sears.com has video game consoles back in stock!

From our Sony console selection, Sears has the Sony Playstation 4 Slim 500GB Uncharted 4 Console with Titanfall 2, Bloodborne & Accessories, dated September 2016, for the low low price of $449.99! Nevermind that it retailed at $349.99 back then, or that every other retailer is selling the PS4 with double the HD space at $299.99 this season!

From our Xbox collection, we have the Xbox One X 1TB Console with NBA 2K 18 and Accessories, which can be yours for the special price of $889.99! Take advantage of this special offer today, and you'll get $33.90 cashback in points (special terms &limits apply)

Is Mario more your speed? Wonderful news! The Nintendo Switch is now in stock, especially packaged with our Sears exclusive RED and BLUE and Accessories Bundle and available today for the low low price of $399.99. We're certain the red and blue sleeves will be well worth the $100 premium we're charging over the MSRP of $299.99

These doorbuster deals are absolutely not a pathetic attempt to keep our video game console pages from being a completely empty white page full of sadness and desolation. No ma'am

I know the poor schmuck who had to enter these. Sometimes you just have to laugh.

That's not how deceptive trade practice statutes work, which was LA's whole issue in the first place.

Not exactly... these ARE available for purchase at these outrageously high prices. It's not just an inflated price it has never been purchaseable at, to make the supposedly-marked-down price look better. Not that anyone would actually WANT to buy these at these prices, unless they're really clueless, but someone theoretically could do so, which makes it legal.

Eddie already got sued for similar trickery just two years ago. Looks like he hasn't learned his lesson, but he's not very keen on this whole ethics thing.

L.A. prosecutors are accusing four big retailers — JC Penney, Sears, Kohl’s and Macy’s — of tricking shoppers

The Los Angeles city attorney's office has sued four big retailers, alleging deceptive advertising that it says misled shoppers into believing that thousands of products were on sale at a hefty discount.

The retailers — JC Penney, Sears, Kohl's and Macy's — falsely advertised high "list" or "regular" prices on merchandise that was never actually for sale at that price, according to the lawsuits filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. That led customers to believe that they were getting a better bargain with the "sale" price than they actually were.

These tactics — called false reference pricing — "play a major role in the companies' overall marketing and business strategies," the L.A. city attorney's office said in a statement.

Yeah, seems like they are raising all the prices to get to the liquidation sales progressive discount price.

Dutch Auction 10% off, then 20%, etc.
