I just want a 3-pack without being lied to 
I agree that Wyze could be a lot more clear and transparent here, though I will explain how I understand what you are seeing, and why I didnāt take it as deceptive:
- $107.94 is the price you would normally pay if you bought 3 V4ās separately. So that is the base price for 3 V4s (you can see in the screenshots that single ones were $35.98, so 3 of those are $107.94)
- $105.94 is the Regular, ongoing Bundle Discount rate, that gives you V4ās cheaper if you buy them this way instead of 1 at a time (so in that sense it is a āsaleā because you get it cheaper than buying 1 at a time, and what they are trying to point out, but have limit space to explain clearly).
- $99.98 was the temporary āPROMOTIONAL SALEā rate earlier and that is an EXTRA discount ontop of the Bundle discount sale rate.
What they really shouldāve done is left the 9/25/24 regular rate at $107.94 for better clarity to point out that is the standard price for 3 V4s. They were just trying to help show people how much cheaper the sale rate was compared to the normal bundle discounted rate so it would be more obvious how much youād save by buying it now vs waiting until the sale is over. While in the Nov 13 screenshot they were just trying to help you see how much you save by ordering the bundle vs 3 single units.
Both were trying to maximize the main comparison, but by doing so, they made it look like they were doing one of those false-discounting things often done by retail stores on Black Friday.
For what it is worth, I believe Wyze did start some Early Black Friday Stuff on TikTok because TikTok wanted to launch it now, but I donāt believe they have started their website or Amazon Black Friday sales yet, so keep an eye out because Iām sure theyāre likely to do something on Black Friday, Cyber Monday or near them. This āSaleā isnāt advertising as the Black Friday promotional sale prices yet, itās just the regular Bundle Sale rate that I also paid for mine earlier too when I bought the 3 pack as well.
Good eye though! Great attention to detail and comparison.
Iāll still go share your feedback with someone from Wyze so they are aware that itās probably better if they just leave the regular $107.94 price in as the standard 3 unit price standard instead of trying to emphasize other differences. I agree itās more clear and transparent to keep it consistent.

I was just venting, but your reply is awesome! I think Iām back onboard. Now my target price is the $99.98. Hopefully by next week they price it down again.
