I don't get it. The whole thing is about H/F saying a tool sold for $49 when it really sold for $29, but is now on sale for $19. Who cares what it sold for or what it is said to have sold for. You are buying it now because it is a price you like.
Anyone who doesn't know sales, advertising, and rebates are simply ways to sell more stuff shouldn't be allowed to play with money.
Get over it, grow up, and have a brain.
