Know about when you buy "when" about various things
Starting to say that I want a dedicated external hard disk for the editorial department of GIGAZINE for over a year or more ... ... I have to buy a new personal computer! Two years have passed and it has taken place ... ... It is said that it is often said to be "Masui" as a self-made PC type, but as the circumstances that must be bought soon have come out, it is a purchase screen Although I am going back and forth in front of you, how are you doing?
So, there was a site that summarizes what is best if you buy "when" about various things not limited to personal computers, so I tried reading it.
The Best Time to Buy Everything (Deal of the Day: Personal Finance) | SmartMoney.com
·Airplane ticket
When? : Wednesday or 21 days prior to flight (or even two or three days earlier than that)
why? : Since the review of airplane prices is done every evening from Tuesday evening to Wednesday morning. Also, if it is before 21st, the airline company seems to be planning for a cheap price because we want to fill the seat as much as possible. Is it so in Japan?
· Home Appliances
When? : Weekend holidays
why? : For sale to concentrate. This is easy to understand. There are sales targets in Japan, too, so it will be cheaper.
· Baby's clothes
When? : Pregnant
why? : Because the season is out of order. Generally expected to be born The clothing of the moon will be available cheaply during pregnancy, just for sale after the end of the season. In a sense, this is common sense ....
· Broadway tickets (theater tickets)
When? : Hours before the opening
why? : Because the front row seats may be vacant. This is also common sense in Japan as it often happens that the cancellation is confirmed before the opening day of the day, the best seats are available.
·Automobile
When? : Weekday morning of September
why? : By September the new model of the following year is almost announced and car dealers want to sell the rest of this year's amount. This is right as it is said. Also, since there are few people on weekdays, there seems to be room for negotiating the price.
·champagne
When? :December
why? : In overseas, New Year's celebration is on New Year's Eve, so champagne is drunk and consumed in large quantity. Since this time is at the time of sale, the price will rise if it is normal, but as adjustment is done to suppress overheating of competition in the bureaucratic union association, it seems that it is actually cheaper than other times.
·clothes
When? : Thursday evening, 6 to 8 weeks before goods arrive at the store
why? : Fashion show in fall and spring of the following year will be held in February and September, and fashion will generally be decided. Then the price begins to fall. It is so-called clearance sale.
· Personal computer and PC related equipment
When? : Immediately after the launch of the new model
why? : When a new model is released, the latest model of the last time will be lowered to the price range below the current latest model. For example, a new iPod will be on sale just as soon as it is announced, but in that case the former model will begin to decline instantly. Moreover, in the case of a personal computer, there may not be much difference even if you compare the previous model with the latest model. In other words, the last latest model will be a bargain model.
·gasoline
When? : Weekday early morning or late night
why? : It is not good because the weekend is set to be expensive for the person going on a trip. Also, since the price of gasoline is decided at noon from around 10 o'clock in the morning, it is said that the trend is the highest, and conversely, the tendency to become cheaper as the night becomes higher is strong.
·gift card
When? : I will give it to someone 1 or 2 days ago
why? : Because many gift cards that can be used at shops have a fixed period for use. Certainly, we do not need a gift certificate that will not be usable in the next 3 days ....
· Foodstuffs
When? : Sunday evening
why? : The evening is because the price drops. In addition to that, Sunday is chosen because there are many patterns from Monday to Sunday, such as coupons such as leaflets, and these items are sold at the lowest price. This was scary when I lived in Tokyo. Thanks to this, I was able to survive even when it was a super-pinch of 500 yen per month.
·plant
When? :autumn
why? : As the price starts to decline due to inventory disposal after midsummer.
·tv set
When? : 6 months or 12 months after the special model was released
why? : Because the new model will fall after two or three months. Also, since TV does not easily become an outdated function, models that are about half a year to about a year are bargain.
·Wedding dress
When? : Thanksgiving and Christmas
why? : During this season everyone is doing a vacation, so no one comes to buy a dress
·wine
When? :early autumn
why? : Since wine comes out limitedly according to the harvest of grapes, because there is no losing of this time
If you look at this way, you will understand when you feel the sellers know when to buy when it is appropriate. Well Maybe it is a method of high satisfaction to buy when you need it ....
