Most of us have seen them. Those online deals with a timer counting down. They’re teasing us with a 60% reduction that’s only good for another 15 minutes – gotta checkout now! 92% claimed! Click it! Watch out. Disclosure: any links may earn me a referral bonus.
More for you to consider. Is it really a “deal?” Or was it priced higher to begin with? My suggestion is to copy and paste the base nomenclature – the part of the product title that describes the item in it’s most basic form – and use that to search for comparable items. Check the prices on those before you drop that hammer. I think you’ll be surprised at how often even that “lightning deal” price is not the lowest one available. Sometimes they are great prices, but often they are just not. You’ll save plenty by checking. Don’t let that timer get you in a rush.
Another marketing trick: often, those deals come right back and reappear. I can’t promise you that if you don’t buy it by the time the timer expires, you can wait a few minutes and see that same item pop up again in the list, but it happens more than you would expect.
