      A term for a regular sales price that comes back at normal not specifically event related intervals.

      For instance many clothing stores will just have a “sale” every 4 weeks fore the same prices as the sale 4 weeks ago.

      Another example is consumer electronics. Look at any price tracker and they’ll usually follow a very loose pattern

      Relevant random example of some harddrive

        Oh wow that Newegg Canada in Green is crazy. And for a pretty large discount too.

        I had not encountered this on any price graphs before, very interesting. Thank you.

          Yup. Thats the type of chart I would call a rolling sales chart. Amazon does the same, as does Bestbuy.

          Many retailers do frankly.

          Waiting a week can often save you 25-30%, and the high price would have been labelled a sale just the same as the low price, so no one would be any wiser to this without tracking the price.
