I've just recieved an offer in a Groupon mail listed as:

£69.95 instead of £239.00 - Classic Black Pentax I-10 Digital Camera with Kodak Portable Charger at Teqport

A quick search on Amazon shows it available at £74.98.

A restaurant wouldn't be able to do that because they'd scare off their regular customers. But for anything where they can set a special price for Groupon customers, I'd suspect they were giving a discount on an inflated price.
