Nope, not false advertising... rather a "clash of cultures" (so to speak).
The seller is in Austria, and used the standard Austrian (and perhaps
European) presentation for sale items. You'll notice that there is a minus
sign in front of the "100".
In North America, we would advertise "$100 off" or "save $100", but in
Austria a minus sign is used to denote a savings. Same happens with
percentages: instead of "50% off" or "save 50%", they would use "-50%"
without further words.
