What sale did you just miss out on?
I feel bad when people come in looking for a good price the day AFTER the sale, and then pay regular price because they want it either way. I feel like I'm ripping them off. But I can't hold a price forever, for what I sell is seasonal. :(

Well, all I know is that I gotta get down to Kittery Trading Post soon, or I'll miss their big sale, this is Septemberfest week. I always try to get something, besides, my daughter gets 20% discount!

I was able to get to REI last week in time for their big 50% off sale. Then they had a 20% Thule rack sale plus my membership credit. I almost missed it because they didn't have the rack, so I had to buy it over the phone from another location then hurry up and get it there because they wouldn't hold it for me.

You will always run into customers who just get there late after the sale, happens where i work at as well.

Its only a sale if its something I need. I try not to buy stuff just cause its a good price while on sale. I missed the REI sale, but a friend of mine bought all kinds of stuff including some Thule rack acc. he's been wanting.

I bought a razr phone for $99. The day I got my phone they went on sale for $49 :(
I love when people come in the day after we had a big sale and get all uppidy. I'd just look em straight in the eyes and say "You had three weeks to come in. Sorry, full price today." Then I'd laugh.

Handgun ammo. You can have a handgun when your 18, but you can't buy ammo for it until your 21. I'm 20, so neither me nor my 18 year old friend could buy incredibly cheap surplus Israile .45 ammo at the last gun show he and I went to.

I bought 18 tubes a few weeks back cause they were 3 for $7 for Specialized tubes.:D

Ha ha. Better look at them good. I know someone who did that and they were all bad production and leaked where the valve met the tubing. Impossible to patch. Too embarrassing to return. :p

That stinks, but you can't buy everything on sale.

I still haven't gone to Septemberfest. :(
I bought a razr phone for $99. The day I got my phone they went on sale for $49 :(
I bought it for $200. To make it even worse I hate that piece of crap. The three phones I got for free the same day are all nicer, in my opinion anyway.

Cingular to Cingular is free, right? ;) :D
We both had very high phone bills. Next thing you know, it was on my doorstep. He is so sweet. And he won't let me pay for part of the plan. :o

09-08-06, 08:18 PM
Yeah, but I heard that he's already spoken for.
Michigander
09-08-06, 08:55 PM
Yeah that's because you don't use it.....
Oh contrare! I used it earlier today to call my brother in college. Free beats paying for long distance.

So how's he liking it? Oh never mind. Your calls don't last more than four sentences.
