I'd imagine that they are comparing the current price to the price the product launched at. Hi Frankie,

How can that be?!? 100% off means pay nothing -- it's free! So what does 250% off mean??? How much more can you hype it up?!? 250% off standard price?!?!?

How much more can you hype it up?!?

I'm like you, and will always move my curser over it and see what it says. But the same applies with pop-ups. I always take a look at them, and if they don't interest me...I simply close the window. I think we need to test them on something. See what the click-through rate is. Thanks Mark P.S - Can you not clear your cookies and visit the OTO page again? I've done that in the past for something, and it worked. :D Hey Dan…

It's possible that the page hadnt finished loading for you so the "peel" wasn't there, either that or you have Javascript disabled :-) Hi Robin,
