Wouldn't a loophole be to relist something to include some extra trinket with the main product (e.g. lens cleaner with a camera) and argue the “new” listing is something completely different than before?
Or raise the price 31 days prior, and "drastically discount" it after. It seems like a cool policy in theory, but it also sounds like it doesn't really have any teeth. Like a "political theater" kind of law. But who's to say, maybe it could be someone's poli-sci thesis some day.
Or I'm just dumb and don't understand something fundamental about it; I also except that
It seems like a difficult thing to regulate. I hope that this can be a starting point that will be potentially expanded later as needed, but we'll see.
