Today I was talking to a person who said that her friend was so excited to get such a great deal for a pair of tickets to the Olympic gold medal hockey game. The price? $15,000. Yes, we are talking five figures here. Apparently she thought it was such a good deal as people are reselling them for as much as $25,000 that I have seen.<\/p>\n
This is actually monitored through the official Olympic channel too. So it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not like a deal where some is trying to scalp their ticket through under the table means. These are one of those purchases that I would have to think like a hundred times before doing it. As a result, most likely I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s almost like wanting to buy the latest gadget where the supply is so limited that end consumers simply resell the ones they bought for a profit.<\/p>\n
For myself I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look at the price compared to what everyone else is selling it for but rather the cost of the item without the insane markups. You just feel a little silly paying so much extra dollars I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d say. Would watching it on say TV be that bad for example if it meant saving $15,000? Unless you have an extreme amount of disposable income that is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
