Do they still think they will get customers by telling them the price is only available today?

Clearly "they" do still think it, but those sorts of offers are illegal.

It's number seven on the list of banned commercial practices under the DMCC:

Well maybe they ought to take to task the offers on "Shop On" a shopping program that is broadcast on the ITV channel in the earlier hours of the morning.

Phrases like:

Only a certain number left

It wont be at this price tomorrow

etc.

That might actually be genuine.  I don't watch shopping channels often enough to know.

If they have bought a container load of some Chinese tat, then it will only be available until they have sold it all.  The next day, they may be selling something different.
