Not sure how that would be possible with an authentic item, as they’d be selling for less than cost at that point.
what actual evidence was provided though?

Tie down is 189.71$, Do you have evidence it was ever any different? or know how many days it was listed at this supposed 90$ price, if it was then possibly it was on the website posted incorrectly for a few days before caught and correct, not uncommon.

i know they sometimes sell both authentic and knock off but list it as "style" and it's always a cheaper price, should be pretty apparent to the buyer, also in the item description details it will be more specific. I don't think it is done intentionally to mislead people ,rather to clearly show this product is 99% identical to this other authentic product but for 70% the price.
