Anytime you have companies selling predominantly third party merchandise, the MSRP always changes to convince consumers they're getting a great deal. Amazon, Overstock, Houzz, Wayfair, RugsUSA, EsaleRugs, etc all do it. A lot of it is done with a computer and so they "glitch" and sometimes you can get a steal if their algorithm messes up in your favor (before they fix it).

I found out from someone else's blog post about their experience, so I imagine your post will help a lot of people. But I hadn't noticed that they were changing the original price with each sale! That's shady :( Some of their rugs are still reasonably priced when on sale, though, especially when compared to very similar styles at West Elm and Pottery Barn. I haven't settled on a rug yet, but I'm definitely going to pay more attention if I do decide to purchase from them (though I probably won't). I have to agree with other commenters that any store/product that is constantly on sale makes me wary. And to add to "anonymous" above - I've also found A LOT of OKL's and J&M's supposed "discounted" items at Wayfair within $5 (regular price) almost every time. To me, it's worth the extra $5 to wait and decide if I really want/like/"need" something.... :)Kendihttp://www.makeyourselfhome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694300609096906230.post-29477425457997828772013-07-30T17:06:29.744-05:002013-07-30T17:06:29.744-05:00I actually noticed that this is kind of the case a...I actually noticed that this is kind of the case at places like One Kings Lane and Joss and Main. If you google the product itself alot of times the same dresser/chair/couch whatever is sold at say Overstock or K-Mart for the "discounted price" so the whole "flash sale" thing isn't really the case because you can probably get it elsewhere. Not for EVERY product but for ALOT of them. I think they want you to feel like you are getting a good deal for good quality stuff when really you are paying average for so-so stuff.

When it came in the door, they immediately put a fake "original price" on it and then a big markdown. They had a look-up book with the true bottom line for every piece of furniture and were authorized to give "discounts" off of the "marked down" price listed on each piece if someone was waffling. It seems like they can get away with this sort of thing because most people don't shop that frequently for furniture, so they don't notice that the "sale" is always going.<br />Needless to say, I never bought anything there and my sister moved on as soon as she could. Frequent store-wide discounts anywhere are a big ole' red flag. pippinsequimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068378586122995190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694300609096906230.post-59695508342862058212013-07-29T22:47:43.540-05:002013-07-29T22:47:43.540-05:00Well darn them!! ;)Well darn them!! ;)Sheenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242163910223367532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694300609096906230.post-14644521305507419772013-07-29T18:55:12.114-05:002013-07-29T18:55:12.114-05:00Ugh, no wonder.

I thankfully never actually bought one because I loved everywhere and just couldn't seem to get behind what seemed like crazy high pricing. Especially Rugs USA!!! I finally walked into Home Depot one day and saw one I loved for $180. Still going strong with 3kids and a dog. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing, now I know to definitely steer clear in the future!MCHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13440072854625467223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694300609096906230.post-73669871727782236442013-07-29T17:36:01.888-05:002013-07-29T17:36:01.888-05:00A lot of companies have pricing policies like this...A lot of companies have pricing policies like this and change prices frequently based on what competitors are pricing things at or the time of year.
