As per the report, consumers paid more than A$2 million ($1.32 million) for add-on monitors between August 2019 and mid-December 2021. Ouch !

The sure-fire way to ensure you're getting a good price is to compare rival products. Just because a Dell monitor, for example, is technically discounted from its recent MSRP, it doesn't mean it's the best value among monitors with similar specs.

Btw, I've seen various vendors on Amazon claim that a years-old price is the typical price of a product. Doesn't come much of a surprise though.

The Australian Federal Court also found that Dell's Australian website used deceptive language, like "Includes x% off," “Total Savings" plus a dollar amount, “Discounted Price” and a dollar amount, and "Get the best price for popular accessories when purchased with this product."

The shocking part is not that Dell tries to rip off customers, that's normal for Dell.

The shocking part is that Dell is still in business.
