I am just writing to protect the public from false advertising. I own a frame shop, but am distraught because of their constant 50% off sales which are not sales at all.
They were sued in NY state over this same thing.

I had something framed there myself to see how it really worked, and their prices are VERY high for 50% off, and close to my normal every day price.
I have my own customers tell me they thought I would cost twice as much as them, but luckily they find out I am right in the same ball park, if not a little bit less in price then after Michaels 50% off sale.
Even my customers got upset when they found this out. I am fighting for a fair playing field among framers. If Michales had their full price 8 months out of the year and had their 50% off sales for 4 I wouldnt' care, becasue they wouldn't have any business for those 8 months. Thats how bad it is.
Its just that it is constant and never ending that hurts the entire framing world.
