Unit prices and sales that are not really sales, sentence 2
Big "SALE!!!" signs, "was £600, now £400" and "up to 70% off" can mislead: the trainers may be £60 before and after, and "up to" may mean just two things at 70% off and the rest at 10%.
Who acts: Big SALE signs · What happens: up, mislead up, mean · To what, where: two things
