Prices in Brazil

Very misleading or very creative. You decide.

Quick example:

When you walk by one of the stores, you see all these great prices posted next the item. Could be a big TV, couch, shoes...whatever. The price is so great that you basically walk right up to the window display and then notice that the price is only 1/12th of the price. They post this price and in small print you see the real price....the posted price x 12.

Today I saw this super huge flat screen TV for 800 Reias ($400 USD). WOW! I can buy it and just pack it up on the truck. On closer inspection, I realize it ends up costing almost 9,000 Reais ($4,500 USD).

I think it's illegal to post prices like this in Canada.

Could create a few problems.
