Re: Hmmm…do I roll the dice?

[ Edited ]

@gidgetgh  With something like this it depends on my mood. Sometimes I wait until the last minute and then take the best deal I can find. Other times, I want it done, I pull the trigger and don't look back. When I do the latter, I avoid checking to see if I missed out on a better deal and just move on. When all is said and done, we'll expect to hear more about this bag, by the way!

I think I made that mistake yesterday ... I almost pulled the trigger, but held off.  Today the item (jacket) is $13 more at J Crew ... I don't know if it'll go back down tomorrow for Cyber Monday.  

 

I'm not all that upset about it, though ... found a sweater in my size that wasn't available yesterday from Ralph Lauren at 40% off.

@SoX - yeah, in reality, for me, it's just a purse.  If it sells out or the cash back % doesn't increase or it goes down, oh well.  If Cyber Monday weren't tomorrow, I would have ordered it already. 


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

Re: Hmmm…do I roll the dice?

When I want something I want it now.  I would not be able to wait.  A few times when I forced myself to be patient and wait, when I went to order, it was either sold out, my color was gone or my size was gone.  It is not a good idea to wait if you really want something.  There is price adjusment in the rare event the price goes down and just a little chance the cash back will go up.  Go for it girl now.

Re: Hmmm…do I roll the dice?

@gidgetgh  I suggest checking the quantities left on the particular bag you want...

For me, when I'm indecisive on whether or not to wait for a better price/deal is how many are left in stock. I learned a valuable lesson a few years ago when I waited for even a better deal or FREE S&H on top of the sale price and % off from a rebate service. By standing my ground and holding out, the item I wanted sold out. I said, never again! LOL

 

I always keep track of and check the quantities left on items I REALLY want....

 

It's always nice to get what I call the 'trifecta'...sale, % off and FREE S&H, but pushing the envelope for an even better/lower price doesn't always pan out.
