Why not disclose that it's "Fair" condition that's $1370

You must be new here.

Nope. Same ol sleaziness in this new wave of slopdeals.
It's entirely a newer phenomenon to mislead and generate clicks on this site.
The title is completely misleading when viewing deals as a list.
Why such friction and aggression whenever called out, Dr. W?
You used to be a beacon of hope and knowledge, now idk what.

Additionally, it doesn't matter if it's fair or excellent, as people have reported numerous times about fair conditions turning out like new and excellent condition having blemishes, etc. Hence, the title is not misleading one bit, so there's no need to make a mountain out of a molehill. Thanks.

If the cave is outside, not online... then yes, I was not on SD 100% of the time.
All this nonsense, noise, and logistical fallacies you're making can be easily solved by putting:
"$1369.99 - Open Box, Fair Condition" into the title.
Problem Solved!
Or, just put the higher price from the start so there's no confusion from the title.
Surely in your elder years and years on this site you understand that the total price in the heading is what draws clicks…
The bit highlighted above is entirely misleading when the classification by the retailer is being obfuscated. You doubled-down on the lack of transparency by providing your indignant assessment there. "Moving the goalposts" as the kids say.
So let's not be dishonest nor throw out a bunch of misdirection when offered constructive criticism, shall we?

Second and third deal again starts with the fair condition price. Fourth doesn't even count because only one condition was available and stated, excellent, and so it HAD to be specified in the title, which I have done too when only one condition is posted.
I can mindlessly argue, just like you that in the redesigned view (that various members use including me), the complete title isn't shown and so mentioning 'starting from or open boxes' at the very end doesn't do any good and instead should be mentioned at the start of the title. I, however, always specify open-boxes and refurbs at the very beginning; but you don't see me going to their threads and crapping all over it asking to put it first in the title. The screenshots attached clearly show how the first, second, third, and fifth laptop deals do not show these deals being open-boxes or refurbs unless clicked upon, which they are, yet nobody is complaining about it. Next time, post deals instead of ruining someone's hard work and efforts in finding deals. I will not be replying to you now as I have deals to find and post. Thanks.
JC, do you work for the DOJ?
All this noise and commotion for nothing. Misdirection and victim mentality over and over.
lots of people "compain about it" when it comes to problematic aspects of your posts, but then you do these weird slimey tantrums.
(TL;DR: )
Just put either "Open Box - Fair Condition" or "Starting at $" so that it appears in the title and appears in the URL (regardless of interface/viewing format).
That way, those who view this site in different formats than yourself aren't misled by your shenanigans.
You know exactly what you're doing here with these posts... and now pretending like it's such a tremendous travesty that anyone send any constructive criticism your way.
By your own admission: you're not "new here". So you should know that different people interact with the site differently.
Aim to be better.
