| 1377992 | 2014-06-26 21:27:00 | From PC World, Aldi has advertised both the Bauhn ASP-5000H smartphone as a "limited special buy" product and says stocks will vary between stores. The supermarket chain also says that the product may sell out on the first day due to "unexpected high demand.""While stocks last - please note stocks are limited and will vary between stores. Despite our careful planning, we apologise if selected items may sell out on the first day due to unexpected high demand." So they anticipate "unexpected high demand." ? An interesting concept, unless you are one of those skeptics that believes the output from advertising copywriters may sometimes merely indicate they are not yet dead. :waughh: |

| 1377993 | 2014-06-26 23:55:00 | They are encouraging the impulse buyer to buy now before stocks are exhausted. The seller is creating the so called 'unexpected high demand' so that the stock is moved. | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1377994 | 2014-06-27 03:59:00 | It's like those buy now limited time offers that happen so regularly the "limited time offer" part is not very limited at all. Or the limited run collectors items... no such thing as an unlimited run. They try to make us think we might miss out on a great deal so we will rush out and buy something to "save" money (a totally crazy concept mostly held by some women that spending money is saving because you got a good deal) |

| 1377995 | 2014-06-27 06:04:00 | Like supermarkets when they have limit of 2 per customer stuff....it's all a con. Some of us women prefer to avoid buying stuff in the first place actually.......I hate clutter. This years major purchase (after the $50 fridge to replace the dead one) was a thing to hide the sewing machine away in, and use as a sewing desk thus freeing my computer room from this abomination. Sallies shop had a wee cupboard suitable, $10, I removed the spider and her nest, sanded it down and polished it with beeswax polish. If it's not Mahogany it's awfully close looking..... New stuff? Doesn't happen often...... |
