Although i would imagine they stock very little quantites and sell hardly any at this full prize.

I have just been to try and purchase a dining room set at DFS Thorpe Arch Wetherby. Despite lots of stuff being advertised at “half price” the furniture we wanted was not discounted. The total price was £2022. The salesman would not give any discount whatsoever. He did not even offer to round the price down to £2000. £100 discount would have clinched the deal! We did not buy.

One thing to note is that they only need to stock a product somewhere in one of their UK outlets at the full price. They can then offer a sale on that product elsewhere.

Yeah but they only sell things at the weekend, when they know they will attract more customers cos the customers work during the week. During the week is when the prices are high, so the people that buy then are actually covering the cost for the lesser number of customers. As the week is longer than the weekend, the price then can easily be called the “baseline”. Great business plan if you ask me.

I’m sure its has been considered and i’m sure that DFS know where they stand with the law on this subject.

I belive DFS have to offer that product at full price fo X amount of time before they can call it a sale price. although i would imagine they stock very little quantites and sell hardly any at this full price.
