Inscriptions that talk about sales have a hypnotic effect on people. It is almost impossible not to go to a store that offers a 40-80% discount. Sellers inspire buyers that it is profitable to purchase goods at a discount, but this is not always true. They come up with various tricks to help the store get rid of stubborn goods.
Tricks of the sellers
Sellers usually do not list the first price of an item. It is also rare to see discounts on the latest copies. As a rule, markdowns are made for stale goods. In the best case, this product has been lying for a year, or even 2 or 3. The buyer will not find out about this, since the release date is not indicated on the price tags. The same sales tactic is used for technology.
Before buying, it is worth inspecting the product. Sometimes some defects appear during the storage period. The first thing to check is the packaging. Sellers do not worry if the product is sold in a torn box.
Also, sometimes at a discount, a defective product or one returned by customers is provided. Therefore, you should not hastily make a "profitable" purchase, it is better to read reviews about a particular product. Otherwise, you run the risk of getting a defective item that will become unusable after 2 days.
Discount offers act like a magnet for buyers. It seems to them that buying a thing 40 percent cheaper is always profitable. However, there is a risk of taking more than you planned.
Fake discount offers
It is not profitable for stores to understate prices, this will bring them a loss, so they go to the trick. Stores initially inflate the price of the product, after which they write the amount of the discount, thus getting the real price.
To avoid such gimmicks, check prices for the same item in other stores.
It also happens that in the final recalculation of discount offers, the buyer pays for the item more than it actually costs. The worst thing is when a person who fell for such a trick acquires defective equipment or clothes that are not their size.
