 Dear LEGO / 5252
    On sale or not n sale —Thomas Andersen
   Hi Jake, The K10022 set is on sale in the Danish part of (URL) for 1764 Danish kroner. The problem is that it is in fact not on sale, it is the same price as before the so-called sale. That is illegal according to Danish law. I sent a comment to (...) (19 years ago, 12-Apr-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)
   
        Re: On sale or not n sale —Bob Parker
     (...) When I put this item in my cart set to Denmark, I get this: "Item#: K10022 Ages: 10+ Pieces: 1173 Price: DKK 2098.25 Sale Price: DKK 1784.00" So according to that, it is on sale for about 15% off the listed original price of 2098.25.

         Re: On sale or not on sale —Thomas Andersen
     (...) Hi Bob, Yes, it is right that if you calculate that way that the price is 15% off. The problem is that the K10022 set NEVER was priced 2098.25 DKK. It was always priced 1784 DKK and therefor it is not on sale. The price of 2098.25 is simply (...) (19 years ago, 12-Apr-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)
    
         Re: On sale or not on sale —Bob Parker
     (...) Ah I see - that sounds like one of those "value package" price dealie things then. A packaged value is not really a 'sale' perse I would agree...but it is a 'reduced' price compared to buying all of the sets separately. Bob (19 years ago, 14-Apr-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)

     (...) This does look like a potential mistake. I will send it to our EU team to address when they get in tomorrow. Thanks for pointing it out. --Jarid Jarid Lukin E-Commerce Business Manager LEGO Shop At Home (URL) (19 years ago, 12-Apr-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)

      (...) I don´t see any changes on shop.lego.com yet. Are there any reason you know of why? Best regards Thomas (19 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)
    
         Re: On sale or not n sale Jake McKee
     (...) I just chatted with Jarid and the EU Commerce team. Looks like the pricing is acutally correct. In this bundle, there are 7 sets. (Two locomotives and 5 car boxes) Each wagon and the loco are priced at 299,75 DKK each, so 7 x 299,75 is 2098,25 (...) (19 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.lego)
    
         Re: On sale or not n sale —Thomas Andersen
     (...) Hi Jake, It seems that I am not able to express myself clear enough in english, sorry about that. I will try once again: The problem is that the price on the set K10022 was always 1784 DKK, and therefore it in my opinion not an sale, but as (...) (19 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.lego)
    
         RE: On sale or not n sale —William Howard
       The same is true in the UK See (URL) the text "It is also against the law for a shop to pretend that goods have been reduced from a higher price to a lower one." It also used to be the case (and I still think it is) that goods had to be on display (...) (19 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.lego)
    
         Re: On sale or not n sale Jake McKee
     (...) So to makes sure I understand, you concern is ONLY the use of the words "on sale" rather than "special bundle price"? (...) To be clear, there is NOT a new product involved here. All 7 sets are the exact same things you can buy separately. (...) (19 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.lego)
    
         Re: On sale or not n sale —Anders Isaksson
      (...) Yes, I'm sure there is a language difference, but here in Sweden it's just like in Denmark: You are not allowed to say "on sale" unless you are selling a product that has been sold before at a higher price (The 'normal' price). The "on sale" (...) (19 years ago, 16-Apr-05, to lugnet.lego)
    
         Re: On sale or not on sale —Thomas Andersen
     (...) If the words "On sale" were not present I would not be concerned, that is right. (...) I am aware of that, I was calling it a K10022 set, calling it a bundle is a bether word. (...) I do not agree with you on this one. You say: "The lower (...) (19 years ago, 17-Apr-05, to lugnet.lego)
   
        Re: On sale or not n sale —Timothy Gould
     (...) I see the same problem in the UK although I'm not sure what the laws are like here. I guess they mean (*discount bundle price* rather than *sale price*). Tim (19 years ago, 13-Apr-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)
   
        Re: On sale or not on sale —Thomas Andersen
   (...) Hi Jake, I see that the error has now been corrected and there does not seem to be a problem with this anymore. Best regards Thomas (19 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)
