The Note

37 regular prices changed and held: 12 down, 25 up. Decathlon's basketball tank dropped 40%. Its tennis cap rose 203%.

15 pieces went on sale. One Calzedonia bikini bottom listed a "was" price higher than any regular price we had read for it. We don't know what it cost before we started reading it. We don't call it fake.
