n. A "sale" price so high that only a sucker would pay it.
To pull off a sucker's deal, retailers often display obscenely high rates as "normal" prices so that a discount would seem comparatively low to a hapless shopper, even if the reduced price is significantly higher than market value.
Sucker's deals are easy to spot, often found in fashion malls or department stores with giant red signs advertising "SALE" or "20% OFF" in bold letters. If a deceptive marketing campaign is executed correctly, the sale items will fly off the shelves, along with their other regularly priced hyper-inflated products.
Of course, this conjob, scam tactic only works on stupid people with lots of disposable income, but apparently there's an abundance of these types in both North America and Europe.
A good rule of thumb to follow is that if a store's advertised SALE price is greater than 20% higher than Internet mail-order market rate (including UPS/Fedex) for exactly the same product, it's a true sucker's deal.

Sucker: "I just came back from a huge sale at (insert rip-off designer clothing store here) and got these jeans at half off!"
You: "How much did you pay?"
Sucker: "It was a deal. $175!"
You: "That sure was a deal. A sucker's deal."
*A fool and his/her money are soon parted*

Get the sucker's dealmug. by angel March 21, 2005
Get the Dat dealmug. When two people are talking at a party and the one listening really isn't. Instead they'll look around to see if there's someone else they would rather be talking to. Consequently, even though they're nodding their head and smiling, they're not paying any attention to you.
The same could apply to evening/weekend invitations. A person will accept an invite and then cancel because they received another/better offer to go somewhere else.

"Dude, when I invited her to go away with me for the weekend. she said she would love to. Then an hour later she cancelled saying that there was a party she wanted to stay in town for. She was totally better dealing me."

Get the The Beale Dealmug. A sweetheart deal or sweetheart contract is an abnormally favorable contractual arrangement. A particularly lucrative golden parachute could be an example of a type of sweetheart deal, where it is not in the best interests of the stockholders.
The developer who's friends with Councilman X got a sweetheart deal from city council for his upcoming project.
