If a store is having a huge sale (out of business sale, moving sale, yearly sale, etc...) and jacks up the price before applying the discount so that they can still make a good profit. This refers to the price fixing that Enron was part of. Many oil companies that are closing jack up oil prices and then often offer "discounts" or deals that may seem profitable to the consumer.
