I'm interested in a purse that I found on Zappos.  

It is 25% off today and Rakuten is 10% cash back. 

I also found it on Hobo's site. Same % off, but less cash back, so they're out.

 

I haven't seen it anywhere else.  So, do I buy today at 25% off and 10% cash back (and free shipping) or see if it's a better deal tomorrow, cyber Monday?

 

This is totally meant to be a lighthearted thread. I have total perspective and realize this is not at all important in the grand scheme. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

@gidgetgh.  I'd go for it today.  A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.  If it's less tomorrow, you could ask for a price adjustment.

How badly do you want the item?  If it's a price you're comfortable with now, get it now.  How much would you save by waiting, potentially???

I feel your indecision.  There is a pair of booties I want on DSW.  But they may be at a better price tomorrow.

@gidgetgh  Zappos is part of the Amazon empire and Amazon has been listing Cyber Monday prices since yesterday. Maybe they're doing something else with Zappos, but I sort of doubt it. It sounds like you've got a pretty good deal on offer already.

LOL! It's a shame that we have to do disclaimers here these days, but we do!

 

On the subject at hand, to me it would be a matter of how bad I want it.

 

Ask yourself, will I be really disappointed if I miss out on this sale, because I hoped for a better deal on Cybe Monday that didn't happen?

Zappos has such a great return policy, I'd go for it.

@stevieb and others. I don't necessarily think the price of the purse will go lower tomorrow, but I'm thinking the Rakuten cash back % might go higher. I've seen Rakuten go to 15% before for Zappos.  Actually, I think it was higher than 10% yesterday and I was undecided, LOL

@gidgetgh  We're all different. The question I would ask myself is how much more am I likely to save if the cash back percentage rises by another 5%? For me, were it only a few bucks, I'd probably pull the trigger and be done with it IF I really wanted the bag. If the savings would be truly significant (and we all define that differently) then I might wait and see.
