A Gift I Bought on Sale – Deception?

Question

Is it permissible to buy expensive gifts on sale and give them as gifts when they are not on sale? Example: A set of pocket Mikraot Gedolot brochures costs 550 shekels, and on sale, it costs 299 shekels. Sometimes I give them for a Bar Mitzvah when there is no sale.

Answer

Hello,

There is no concern in this matter.

Everyone knows that there are different prices for the same product.
