The second row, captioned Thursday, depicts the same.

In the third row, captioned Black Friday, the there is a label with ~~$1099.99~~ struck through with "$899.99" written underneath, and Wallace charges.

For anyone who is unaware of what this refers to, it is this website:

What's up with this product price of $99 for a "re-usable straw" that listed near the beginning for me

It's list price is $99,999 with an average of $68,267.48?! I obviously wouldn't be purchasing from that vendor for many reasons; but how easy is it to manipulate prices for a website like this? Or maybe it's a vendor that's trying to make the website seem useless? Or just a one-off?

Idk, it caught my eye right off the bat though lol
