You are absolutely right. People began to live better than it was about 50 years ago, when they bought what was necessary. Now, many of us are buying what they really do not need just because it is fashionable and others have it. Recently on instagram I saw a photo of a rich girl showing off a $ 20,000 bag made from some kind of rag. With such usually go homeless and collect things in them. Everyone wants to seem better and more successful than it actually is.
The producer of the bag just inflated the cost unnecessarily, these are the companies that later comes up with sales and probably slash the price of the bag from that $20k to $7k in the name of sales and people still fall for it, meanwhile the real value of the bag is not more than $5k dollars.

There is nothing we can do as long as human being remains gullible. That is why I leave my life without minding people and I don’t get pressurized by things they flaunt on social media because the value will eventually become useless in future. I only go for whatever I feel I need and quality, not the price, not the brand and not for the sales.

Sales are everywhere. Sale on shoes, bags, shirts, gadgets and everything. Malls and shops use this technique to attract buyers, but you know what?  Do you think you've been discounted a higher price than ordinary? No. Instead of saving 20%, you spend 80% on things you dont really need. This is not economical and most of us are easily lured to it. This is what i hate about people. When there's useless trending items on sale, they buy immediately even on credit cards but if bitcoin drops, they talk negative about it. Normal mindset wants to get temporary attention. Not permanent comfort.
When I see malls posting "sale up to 50% off" my first thought is what are they up to now. One strategy that I noticed with Malls going on sale here in the Philippines is before they announce the sale, they will jack up the price to up to 30% and put a price tag on it, then a week later they will announce the sale and put a yellow tag with a discounted price. Also, if its a food that is on sale and in bulk, try to look at the expiration date.
I really think that there are no shopping malls that will give us big discounts leaving their own company suffer from small profits. Of course before they will place discounts on the items, they will surely adjust the regular amount first so that when customers check the regular price, they will be lured on how the items have drop its price and definitely buy it. Sale is not helping us to save and be economical, instead it will make us overspend our money.

You can`t blame people though, people can get easily brainwashed by this marketing strategy which is SALE which really have no discount in at all. People who don`t have enough knowledge on bitcoin would easily believe many FUDs, and I`m afraid most people are.
I agree.A lot of consumers are mostly lured by the word SALE and so they end up buying those things that they don't need the most.And overspend their money more than from the budget that they have set already.With bitcoin,there are numerous fuds around and if you easily believe on this without doing proper research first,you might end up losing in the end.
Sounds too common but people do still fail and easily hooked up with sales even the things or items aren't already irrelevant into their living they do still

decide to purchase it up until they do realize in the end that its completely useless or non beneficial at all.Mistakes are experiences which sooner or later
you would able to spot out your mistakes.

In all sales occurs the same, this is because they obey the Law of Supply-Demand, that is, if there is much demand, the price rises, when the demand lowers the supply, and obviously the news is negative, but you have to give them the true sense to this, because what not everyone knows, is that at the moment of having this news in a stage of accumulation, it is normal, because the whales take advantage of buying cheap due to the panic that is created. In these cases there may be some type of manipulation.

Yes, sales are just tempting and luring people to buy things not really important and needed. No doubt that when we hear the word "SALE", the first thing comes in our mind is that will get a discount and buy that thing cheaper than its usual price were in fact, we're not. This "sale" thing is just one of the strategies used by the seller to tempt us to buy their products which in fact are not that needed in our life. If we got lured by these things, we tend to overspend and worse, we'll lose our money/budget for a month. Same things go in investing in bitcoin. If you keep believing in FUDs being spread here, then you'll eventually miss the chance to invest in a good time to purchase it, which we do not want to happen.

Not to mention that they'd sometimes raise the price just right before the sale. Sounds devious but many people fall for it, like the .99 added to the price of items.

Now let's say that the item is genuinely marked down. Just because it's on sale don't automatically mean you have to buy it. If you've already planned to buy the item anyway, then maybe you can buy it but going into sales just for the sake of bargain-hunting usually just results to unnecessary purchases. That's how women end up with multiples of a bag in different colors, etc.

Don't get lured easily sale is everywhere but we should know what our needs and wants and must know how to determine the difference.
I always find time to relax especially by roaming in the mall and I can see lots of sale but I am no interested anymore.
When I started investing in crypto, it help me change my mentality, which is to save more and spend less, and with more savings, investing in possible.
I am the last person on earth that any company can use sales to deceive because I am also guilty of this too as I also have a mall and I know that we usually just add the figure on top of it just to lure the investors because of the mentality they have on sales. Meanwhile the original price of the product is what we still sell to them as sales price while the other one is just an inflated value and not the real value. That is why in cryptocurrency, I don’t invest because of hype because I know hype is not the real function of the project, hype is just to play with mindset of people to invest, I look deep into what the project has to offer.
Good comparison but having a mall or store business is typically different from crypto investment but somehow they can really be differentiated.
I'm already ware with these sale modus where prices are set too high and even on sale they are still selling it on the same profit.Just take even a look
on e-commerce sites sale too which this thing is also present.

Most product not have real discount, only some of them have, but i agree we only should buy what we need and not every thing we see on "discount", because only maybe on this way we will have real discount.
it has become a common strategy used in sales and we also know that no one wants and wants the sale to suffer losses and maybe that is a strategy used by sellers

Sale is a part of marketing to encourage consumers to buy such product. However, it will just be a limited time to avail, that is why it will not be permanent in the market. We benefit from it in some time and of course the businesses. It became unbelievable if we see it as if it doesn't exist.
Sales are always been a part of a marketing strategy where the company mostly showing a limited offers for a much cheaper value, those people who did not observed correctly will surely be encouraged and buy those stuff unknowingly that it's just a part of promotions where the company still gains benefits out from those sold products.

I think while still young like me, it would be better to save to prepare for the future. by having assets and financial freedom later, we will feel like we are lucky people. and I think a discount like that is just one small obstacle
You have to get it when have right time to profit. Left it half for preparing to future

Sales might not be the same as you think but not all of us can buy things without these sales. Not all people can spend money as you can maybe. There might be some facts about what you've said but I don't think that is just that. My father is a vendor in the past and he usually told me that when a big money out of the products they sell,  he makes a special discount for people that buy his products for a long time now, like if you buy at him for 2 years, he will be  giving you a discount and  that is the reason why people wants to buy more and also invites more customers. You might not believe in it but is a marketing strategy being used.

Most of this sales discount are not really discount if u take good look at ot from an economic point of view.  Most of these companies usually sell at a high price by the time price is slashed down by some percentage it becomes the real price of the goods they claim to have discount on it
Sometimes the stores selling those products might stick a promo design but sell with the same prices as before and even I have experienced this at many supermarkets for even groceries.So this is just a tactic to make us to buy that thing.

You can see the same strategies for many products on amazon.

I've noticed that in many cases the products they are selling on sale are of very bad quality. No one should buy those products at any price, discount or not. Also many stores cheat you with numbers. They attach a price tag with, say, $20, on an item that should actually cost $9, and then trying to sell it to you for $10 saying it's 50% discount. Be wary of that cheating technique.

But there are positive sides of sales, about which I said in my post above. Read it, I hope it can be helpful for you too since it has been helpful for me for years.
I actually blame it on the rate of poverty in some countries, they are just simply t advantage of people’s predicament to exploit them, because people that really have money does not go after sales, but they go after the quality.

If you see where people are rushing those bad products, you will be surprised, there are some shoes and fashion products that I see on sales sometimes and I will say to myself that I can’t even buy this shoe for my security man and not to talk of using them myself. The sales price is just a camouflage while the real worth of the product is the actual sales price. I prefer to just go for what I want not because of sales, but because I need it and because it’s quality.

Someone told me that anything on sale that you don't need is expensive which actually made me think yeah it is because your paying for something you don't really need. Besides, sale items are not really on sale they just increase the price to look like it on sale but in reality it is not, you know business. For me, instead of spending on things that aren't really needed why not save it or invest on something else like bitcoin.
