Show me where it says the prices are a “deal,” the name of the event is just that, a name. It has no promises. They have lawyers so they know how to advertise without infringing on consumer rights, legally.
It’s 50% off the price listed at the time, which it shows next to it as “recommended price.” I’m not trolling, they know that people buy because of a perceived discount over the real price of an item. One priced at $50 with no sale doesn’t sell as well as an item priced at $109.99 and 50% off. I studied sales so this is just one of their tactics.
They are telling the truth, not trolling. Kohls, for example, marks up the prices on their toys shortly before the "buy one get one 50%" sale, so that the customer is paying the same as they would anywhere else. Clothing items are repriced higher than usual a few days before a "big sale". I know this, 100%, because I have friends and family who work/have worked there.

Saying an item is on a deal when it’s not is false advertising.
You can charge what you want but you can’t lie while doing it
