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?

 

The ol' bird in the hand vs. 2 in the bush.........


 

@KingstonMom - yes, the disclaimer thing is ridiculous but I had a feeling.....


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

@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.


 

@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, LLL. 


@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. 


 

@stevieb - good point.  If they raise the cash back to 15%, the difference between the 10% and 15% would be $13.05.

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


 

@cindyNC - I wouldn't be returning it, unless it's defective. I already own the style of purse. Just interested in getting another color. But you are right. Their return policy is excellent,

Re: Hmmm…do I roll the dice?

@gidgetgh  I see Zappos is still calling their sale 'extended black Friday'. I have no idea how Rakuten works. If their percent off changes occur daily then for thirteen bucks I might wait until 12:15 or so, if you're able to stay up, and see what they and Zappos do with the price. Woman Wink

@gidgetgh  But wait... I just thought... What if the percent goes down! Smiley Surprised A true shopper's conundrum... Smiley Wink If the difference between 10 percent off and 15 percent off is thirteen bucks, then the bag must be pretty pricey and at today's rate you might be saving quite a bit already. Sorry, I guess I'm no help at all.

@stevieb - with Rakuten, you never know, but I wouldn't think it would go down for cyber Monday.  But that's where the roll the dice comes in.

Re: Hmmm…do I roll the dice?

@gidgetgh , Personally I would buy it now and be done with it, knowing the color I wanted was available.

 

Would it be possible to cancel your initial order and then reorder of the percentages increases?

Re: Hmmm…do I roll the dice?

I bought a pair of LLBean slippers (regularly $90) on sale and used up my Zappos points. The slippers were on sale for $40 and with my points it took them down to $30 or so. The next day they went to $31 so $21 with my points.  I called Zappos and they gave me a credit on my card. I say go for it.

Broke down and ordered my shoes.  In fact I ordered two pair of the same style, just different colors!🤣🤣🤣

 

Great price!

@Etoile308 - no. Zappos ships extremely quickly.  They have 6 left in the color I'm interested in.
