This morning I was attracted by a post at the platform that says a Magnesium Legged Manitou air shock cost P2,000.  It was too good to be true  (It was)

However when I clicked the ordering boxes, the P2,000 is only the control unit.  The whole merchandise which included the P2,000 was roughly P20,000. 

Then there was this second hand part for xt hub for only P446.00.  However, it turned out that was only for a spoke.  The rest of the hub was priced at nearly P5,000.00

A 4 piston brakeset was listed at P5,000+ plus.  However that was for the 4++ seres,  For the 5+++ series, it is priced upon clicking nearly P10,000.  

Is there no law governing truth in advertising pricing at the Mainland... Are they not subject to conform to the Price Tag law

There are so many posts like that so I may get tired looking browsing at the platform.   Are our yellow brethren that wily and smart?
