You can often find clearance items that are such a great deal where even if you don\u2019t really want it yourself, they can be a great gift a say a stocking stuffer.  But this one was kind of interesting where the low price made mistrust the product and retailer.<\/p>\n<p>There was this power bank that was on sale at Canadian Tires that seemed like a killer deal price was as it was listed at $49.99 to now be at $8.99.  What a steal right?  But it did say this power bank was 5300 mAh which isn\u2019t that large.  You can often get those tiny cylinder ones with the same capacity for a similar price.  This made me think more that the product may be so low quality that the perception of a huge savings is the only way to get rid of it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/powerbank.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"13116\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/clearance-prices-too-low-to-trust-quality\/powerbank\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/powerbank.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"434,703\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Alan Yu&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1629674908&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"powerbank\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/powerbank-185x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/powerbank.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/powerbank.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"434\" height=\"703\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/powerbank.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/powerbank-97x157.jpg 97w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/powerbank-185x300.jpg 185w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/powerbank-300x486.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 434px) 100vw, 434px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If the listed price was $15 originally then I wouldn\u2019t think much of it as my expectations would be low for a brand I am not too aware of.
