Using price anchoring with a discount is a pretty solid way for instructors to sell more courses on BMF.io. If someone sees a course that used to be $199 but now it's only $49, it feels like a sweet deal. That higher price makes the discount look way more appealing, even if the course was never really meant to sell at full price. It kind of tricks the brain into thinking, "Whoa, I better grab this before it goes back up!" But the course still has to be good , if it feels cheap or low-effort, people might get annoyed. So yeah, as long as the value's there, using a big "was/now" price tag can totally help boost sales.
