If you receive 200 percent off the list price, the final price is negative. A negative price means the seller would pay you twice the original price to take the item. In reality, a legitimate 200% discount is not possible.

Mathematical calculation Let's use a list price of $100 as an example:
$100 times 200%(discount percentage) = $200 ( discount amount )
$100-$200 = -$100 (final price)
They would pay YOU $100 to purchase the item.
