Dont believe on sale

[cok_elat]

Sales are everywhere. Sale on shoes, bags, shirts, gadgets and everything. Malls and shops use this technique to attract buyers, but you know what?  Do you think you've been discounted a higher price than ordinary? No. Instead of saving 20%, you spend 80% on things you dont really need. This is not economical and most of us are easily lured to it. This is what i hate about people. When there's useless trending items on sale, they buy immediately even on credit cards but if bitcoin drops, they talk negative about it. Normal mindset wants to get temporary attention. Not permanent comfort.

I think the discount that is on the sales system is just a formality to attract consumers, it is only a trick for the seller to make a profit on items that may not sell well

Nice analogy! 
 You made a good point.  I think why people behave differently with bitcoin is due to  uncertainty. If bitcoin price volatility is predictable, I am sure most people will buy whenever the price goes down

I don't think anyone knows where the price will be on the market. let alone bitcoin, we know that forex is volatile smaller, but it's still hard to guess, especially bitcoin. but that is the main attraction actually

They always use a discount to attract more customers, and I am sure that they make a lot of profit by doing that. We cannot know how much their profit but one thing that we know that people will always interest with the name of a discount and they will try to get the product. But if we talk related to bitcoin, then the discount will only apply when the price is down deeper than the price now and reach the bottom price for a while.

I'm not really the kind of person that is interested in discounts or whatsoever, they don't attract me when I see stores offering a discount. I only go for what I need and if luckily for me that they are also offering a discount for what I need, then that's good.

For me to be attracted by discount sale, then it has to be something I think would be worth it, maybe cause I believe I'm going to need in the near future and the price is down, then nice I would go for it. When I go to malls sometimes I see people rushing products that are discount, I can't even do that sh#t, fighting over stuffs that I can buy even without a discount, nah I wouldn't be interested.

i personally have never been interested in sales that have a discount, how much the discount given is just a manipulation or game for those who in essence the item does not really have a low selling value and it is just a charm for consumers. the manipulation or game sales system in any market has become normal and i just don't want to be a FOMO

I know we have lots of companies that plays this mindset game with consumers which is I see as if they are just basically cheating them and falsifying the real value of the product but at the same time, we cannot completely over look sales, it depends of the time of sales it is.

We have some products that they will genuinely slash the price because it has stayed too long in the market. So instead of tying the products down there and being rigid about the price, they will force it down to be able to take it off the market for them to use the fund to invest in another high demand product.

Take for example, fashion now, we know that fashion do go out of stock, and if you don’t sell a design finish while the trend is still on, you may end of not being able to sell it again which will make it call for sales In other to dispose it off the market.

Stores have gotten customer spending down to a science.  They even analyze what music to play in the store to make you spend more.  Every item placed in the store is meticulously planned out for maximum profit.  Most of the junk you buy from department stores is way overpriced anyways.

I think it might be human nature, when people hear discounts everywhere they buy things that are not necessary ... and should when BTC drops or hears bad news don't easily panic and be provoked

[el kaka22]

I think sale could be used for your own good as well. My dad is kind of person who follows each and every sale everywhere, not because he will buy something useless because of the discount but because he already has something in his mind to buy but only buys it when its on sale. There are people like that who follow on discounts all the time, my father wants to buy a new shoe? Does he have any style or brand in his mind?

Well, he checks out the websites (or local shop if its possible) and usually selects 3-5 shoes that interests him but doesn't buy until they are out of fashion or no longer brand new on the window and goes back of the shop and gets discounts and all that and buys it afterwards. This works on all products hell even foods too, he usually buys wholesale on food to get a discount, your rice will not go bad so why not buy insane amount of rice when its on sale? It will always be profitable.

If bitcoin fells, I think that is a good opportunity to invest again. We should not be negative and look at another angle of that certain change. Dump is not always negative, it depends on how you will be able to make that dump an advantage to you and your investments.

If that is happening to BTC, then I am sure that many people will start to buy bitcoin at a low price because they will never see the opportunity in the future. As long as they can buy at a low price, they will be smiling to see bitcoin price increases today so they can sell some amount of bitcoin to take their profit and take their money back. But it will be good if they still hold until the price can increase more than $8500.

absolutely right, dump are not always negative at least when prices go down in time to buy and wait for the return to rise

[finaleshot2016]

I don't usually believe in sales because it's just a low-key scam. Some of the prices are just higher than the original price of an item. This kind of scam was probably implemented in shopping malls where we can buy luxuries. Sales are not usually implemented on necessities because we need it in our daily life but it's very effective to have sales in luxury items.

Yes, dump is not always a bad thing, it can be a good thing when it's the highest peak value.

Don't get lured easily sale is everywhere but we should know what our needs and wants and must know how to determine the difference.
I always find time to relax especially by roaming in the mall and I can see lots of sale but I am no interested anymore.
When I started investing in crypto, it help me change my mentality, which is to save more and spend less, and with more savings, investing in possible.

No, it's not, it is just that most shopaholic if saw a discounted price would rather buy everything that they don't want just because they saw the discounted price. If you are really a risk taker then you wouldn't be spending money on the things that you won't need but rather invest it to actually gain a profit. And that's how businessmen do.

[Aldrinx00]

That's true discounts on shopping malls about t-shirts, gadgets etc are great way to scam people to buy their products in more expensive price but low quality. People need to learn this thing and be careful on how they spend their hard earn money with their day job or in crypto.

[Nunoluck]

We should manage our fund based on our need. So we only buy something because we need it and not based the cheap price of it. It eill be good for us if we make priority scale before buy something. We also can apply priority scale in bitcoun investment. For example, we have enough fund to invest in various cryptocurrency but we realize that people attention now is on bitcoin because the price is rise and most of altcoin price is decrease or stable. so we can buy bitcoin as much as we can then sell it at hogher ptice then we can buy altcoin as we want. This is wise strategy.

[leonair]

Actually not all of the time, most of the products that tend to use a real discounts are those have expiry date that are less than 1 month so it's applicable to perishable goods but those non-perishable goods are always doing this kind of thing if their specific items are not selling enough so they choose to give it a big discount, SALE is deceiving if you don't know what you are buying but still you can believe on it if you know the real prices of goods on sale.

[DeathProxy]

Most of this sales discount are not really discount if u take good look at ot from an economic point of view.  Most of these companies usually sell at a high price by the time price is slashed down by some percentage it becomes the real price of the goods they claim to have discount on it

[imstillthebest]

...

Right mate .  +1 for this  .  
That is also what i think of  . they put discount and put slash on the price to make it more appealing to the buyers/investors but its actually thier marketing strategy .

But i think some sales are legit . they want to sell it for a lower cost so that that they can still earn some profit or the product will expire if not consume if ever they wont sell it  .

I think you are right in 99% of cases, but sometimes, and this applies primarily to the most expensive shops such as Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci, you can buy there a piece of clothes there with 90% discount, and it will cost you the same or even less than your regular shirt, but the quality of fabric will be so much better, you can't even imagine. I'm intentionally talking about fabric because I don't buy that "great design" shit and all, rich people so passionate about. And I'm not fantasizing either. My family, being far from a rich one, literally survived for some years because of such discounts in expensive shops. I mean, it's easier to find a job when you come on interview in Gucci or D&G, you know.
