Will you refund the poor 116 people who paid an inflated price for this? As others have noted this is selling right now in the $70 range and below. This is nothing but false advertising in make this seem like a deal when it is not.
For your assertion of "false advertising" please cite the inaccurate information posted. Just because something is cheaper elsewhere in no way makes it false advertising. Grocery store A sells apples for 99 cents, grocery store B sells apples for $1.19. If both advertise the price, with no mention of a discount from a previously listed price, there is no false advertisement. People who bought their apples at Store B are in no way entitled to a discount. I'm not saying anyone should pay this amount for this item but your assertion is absurd.
ElectronicVicesI think can meta a little here and understand outside of semantics. It is closer to false pricing.The MSRP for this webcam is $99.99 and the fact that MassDrop historically sells items at discounted rates below other retailers (even though many times this isn't the case), we can assume that it is possible that Drop is aware that the product is sold elsewhere for less but still decided to list it—knowing that its historical discount pricing would lead to some coverage of its operating income.
The premise of the point @SeaCaptain6 was making is true even if his terminology was incorrect.
ElectronicVicesReally? Your whole ad campaign is predicated that you have negotiated “special pricing” and deals. The price you quoted here has NOT been the average price for months as any of the various shopping tools would show. The price you are offering here, with the implied hype that this is a price that is unavailable elsewhere is true in that nobody else asks as much in the marketplace as you. This is also not a difference of a dollar or two but fully 20-30% of the total price.
SeaCaptain6Below is taken directly from Logitech's website–its list price of $109.99 (which has now been lowered by $30) is even LOWER than Drop's $110.00 price. Shameful.

SeaCaptain6Never buy ANYWHERE without doing your homework, that was my point.
Edit: @SeaCaptain6 why are you using "your" when replying to me. I don't work for drop, just weighing in on your decision to clutter the questions sections with an inane rant that boils down to "I shouldn't have to spend 6 seconds validating a price that is listed is actually a good deal, that's the retailers job!"
ElectronicVicesImagine being so obsessed with an inanimate body, like a literal business, that you rationalize paying double the price for a mediocre webcam. Grow up
I thought the purpose/intent of Drop was to use the collective purchasing power of its membership to entice manufacturers to provide products at either a pricing advantage or performance advantage, I see neither here and:
A) wonder what other products we have been "duped" ?
B) wonder if I can, in clear conscience, maintain my membership ?
Shame on you Drop.
I think Drop was wrong by overinflating the price of the Logitech C922. When you can right now buy the Elgato Facecam for $139 or the Avermedia PW513 (4K) for $148 or the Logitech Brio 4K for $129, yes that is right you can buy the Logitech flagship 4k webcam for $19 more and have them delivered in 3 days from Amazon than drop is charging for this webcam. And I miss the good old days of Drop when you hoped enough members would sign up for a buy-in hoping you could get a reduced price, but nowadays it seems Drop is nothing more than a drop shipping company. I guess their name Drop has a new meaning now...
