*''"X percent off" signs.'' Often, a company will place signs out proclaiming a sale, when sale price is reflected in the current labels. That is, there is no "sale", the sign is just telling you the the item was marked down at some time in the past. Occasionally, these signs will not even note that the sale price is already factored into the current labels.
* ''"Collectors' edition."'' Items marked "collectors' edition" are not worth anything more than non-collectors' edition. Many collectible items are valued for an obscure feature or for cultural significance, not because they were specifically made for collecting. In fact, items made for collecting may never accrue much value exactly because they are labeled as such.
