(Of course some retailers are genuine when they offer to price match, it’s not always a scam)

The mattress industry is notorious for being rife with this. And for anyone wondering, the markup on mattresses is also insane. I briefly sold them, and most of our brands forced us to maintain a markup of around 800% via UMRP (i.e., the manufacturer sets the retail price and revokes your dealership license if you sell below that price).
