🚨 Most Amazon “discounts” are manufactured. Someone needs to say it. A product

🚨 Most Amazon “discounts” are manufactured.
Someone needs to say it.
A product shows 40% or 50% off… but off of what?
In many cases, the price was raised first and then discounted to create urgency.
Without historical data, you’re reacting to marketing, not reality.
That’s why tools like Keepa matter.
They show you the full pricing history.
What it sold for last month.
What it sold for during the last sale.
And whether today’s “deal” is actually normal pricing.
This lesson goes beyond buying behavior.
For Amazon sellers, this is a core principle.
Winning sellers rely on historical data, not emotional signals.
They study:
Price trends
Demand patterns
Competitive positioning
Instead of reacting to what appears urgent in the moment.
The same discipline that protects you as a buyer is what makes you stronger as
a seller.
âť“ Question: When you evaluate a product opportunity, are you looking at historical data, or just what the market looks like today?
