This was an interesting money saving technique for hot items which may be useful at times. Essentially, someone was saying how he wanted to buy this new product but he didn’t want to pay full price for it. So, the assumption is that he would wait for a sale before committing to a purchase. Surprisingly though, he actually bought the product and people assumed he couldn’t wait. But he was saying how he was going to hold the item for 30 days as there are big sales coming up. So, if he sees a better deal he will either return this or get a price adjustment. As well, he has the option to just return it.
I don’t usually do this unless a possible route was to simply sell it to someone else for a profit considering it’s a hot item. I just find usually investing say thousands of dollars on an item just to potentially return it is a waste in the sense of you could at least have been earning interest on that money. Not everyone has a few thousand extra dollars laying around too to do this.
You could argue too if it’s a hot item and in the near future you needed to buy it then odds are you may have to pay more due to supply and demand. Either way, the interesting money saving techniques people have.
