I guess we can agree to disagree, as I do agree with the other poster regarding the inflated list price...

If you are going to shop on their platform, it's probably important that you understand how they use various pricing terms. This page has further information about the strike-through prices that they may show: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/cu...ref_=dp_hp
If you have an issue with a strike-through price, they even give instructions on how to report it.
A useless MSRP that no one one would ever pay. Amazon has gotten in trouble before for inflating this price well beyond the actual MSRP on items. I guess this is the online sales model. List an item with a hugely inflated MSRP and sale price that is actually the average price everyone sells for. Then raise that price by 10-20 percent a few days before a sale, that way they can claim a huge discount on the price when in reality it's 10% off the average price and still above the MAP price.
When they can't show the price on their site, it may be a big discount.
Safetysourcesupply.com had some killer dewalt deals, then Dewalt was removed from their site. They were obviously selling below minimum advertised price. Now they have a portal you have to sign in, to see dewalt items and prices.

MSRP = regular price
Suggested retail price = regular price
I'm not sure what the argument is. Those terms are universally understood as regular price. That's what those terms were intended to do... Just because they call it list price... if it equated to the above terms (and they do in their own definition), they are trying to convey regular price, and LOOK like sale with that price and strikethrough.
I'm not sure if I can be classified as "having a problem with it" but I would like it to be more valuable information instead of having to search online for the real regular price which I do often since I do understand it and it is what it is.
Also, market price is usually a dynamic price at any given point in time. Current market price at this given one point in time may not reflect regular price (like a sale). Amazon shows 2 prices with 2 goals. The current price (which is NOT regular or typical market price), and list price (which is suppose to be regular price). Any other price is absolutely worthless and of no value (which is what others are talking about).
However, with all that said, if you think the intended purpose is not to look like a sale, with an inflated list price with a strikethrough and lower price... like I said before, we can agree to disagree..
