The retailer should be careful not to violate former price comparison deceptive practice as the price tag shows a crossed-out former price of $500.00 and a new price of $350.00. This may mislead customers into thinking they are getting a better deal than they actually are. The retailer should ensure that any former price comparison is accurate and not exaggerated just to make the current price seem like a good deal.
