after christmas sales
After-Christmas, Year-End, and explaining the sale is the right time to get some good offers, but you can also end up with a disaster of purchase. This is where the consumer must buy smart. Do not just catch the newspaper AD and ran into a local electronics store without arming customers have useful knowledge and tools to make the most of your dollar.
It is that time of year when retailers are trying to do some things: Sell any surplus is still taking up too much space on the shelves, selling goods in the list selection, turnover gift returns / changes (as open and unopened), selling the old model display, and sell old products in service.
Extremely items
This is the place where consumers can get a lot, depending on how difficult trade is clear storage space. The excess items are usually loss leaders, such as a DVD player $ 29, $ 99 Blu-ray players, LCD TV $ 299 and $ 249 budget home theater packages are still new and in sealed box. Here you can know that they are open, returned, or used.
They may not always be the best known brand-name models, but can be a good value, if available. These things are usually the first to go to after-Christmas sales, so shop early the day after Christmas for the best chance of grabbing one of these products.
Soon-To-Be-choice items
This is my favorite purchase-sale category. This is a "hill". Every year in January, CES (Consumer Electronics Show), held in Las Vegas, where all consumer electronics manufacturers from around the world showcase their products for the coming year.
Products become hit shelves in February and the spring and summer. Needless to say, buyers from major consumer electronics retail chains in small towns and regions, independent drove home to show the place, orders for new products.
However, defeat the enemy of these products on the shelves of shops should be clear that the retailers products currently focused on the exchange of their warehouses and stores soon.
This is the place where consumers can benefit. If the trade "by mistake" over-estimate demand for a specific AV receiver, for example, and many of them left the population in February, it is difficult to move the older models of their competitors, not held over the old model, sold a newer model when it comes.
So, to "get rid" overstocked current models, dealers often place a notice of a significant drop in prices on older models.
However, many consumers also affect the word "authorization" to make sense of the product may be in some respects less than a newer model (which may or may not be so in reality). Therefore, support for older models often brings notice AD "Price Drop", "Instant Discount" or "Instant Rebate" or "Special Buy". The additional items will be an indicator of fine print, check the phrase "While Accessories Last" or "No Rainchecks.
If you are bargain hunting, it could end up a lot. Trade to get rid of product that will soon be stopped and the consumer gets a good price.
If you need the latest and best, and "shop" products is all you really need it can work. The key is to ensure that the product meets your needs scrutiny function is time to either the manufacturer or retailer Web site, if possible.
Gift Returns / Exchange
When it comes to return and exchange, shops that want to turn them around quickly. A good example is the $ 29 DVD player. You wake up on Christmas day, and you know that you have a $ 29 DVD player from other important and more $ 29 DVD player from their parents. Of course, the political need to decide which of them will take you back, but without opening the box to one back and change it to something else. However, you are not alone. When you arrive in the shop you are in line with the other ten people will return to replace the same DVD player.
It is clear that it will show a small problem for retailers. They do not mind returning DVD player and an exchange for something else. However, in the shop gets arrogant with what they thought they sell more, and now you come back, it will store the property to be paid to other products that can sell at higher margins. The answer, send it back to the department and then sold it quickly about 5% to 15% percent discount, depending on whether the product is returned opened or closed.
Again, consumers can do without a few points to know. Items can be opened or the customer returns business loan for display content. In this case, make sure that four things:
ONE - Check for a discounted price sticker from the field and confirm the trade in person or by selling stock, the price of an open window is actually a discount price as brand new items.
DVA - Check the contents of the box alone, the person or the sale of stock. Make sure that the owner's manual for the product and all accessories for the product are present.
In addition, remember how packed accessories. Sure chains, remote and manual in original packaging (which may indicate the product may be used), or are clearly repackaged (which will most likely identify the product used for the time)?
And finally, if something is missing, to negotiate a lower price in order to realistically the price of missing items.
THREE - If the window opens, I see the item plugged in and working before you leave the store.
Apat - Also check the date code for opening the box label or sticker price. This does not tell you how the product is old, but will not tell you how long you sat on the shelf, open box item.
View old models
Here are some things that might get a bit "sticky" for consumers. Generally, the majority of products and retailers of consumer electronics, are on display anywhere from 90 days to six months but some products up to one year.
Personally I am very careful when buying goods that show, because many traders are not accurately inform consumers about how long the items in question are on display and discuss how the area is treated with vendors and customers.
Products such as camcorders, digital cameras and television are particularly suspect, because both of them on display again, but it goes on and twelve hours a day for several months, the cameras and digital camera handling, and return about everything from grandmothers to young children gently.
However, other display items such as AV receivers, DVD players and VCRs do not get exactly the same abuse is only open when the actual seller of the product demo. In fact most shows, AV receiver, DVD players, VCRs, and other related components are usually just sitting on the shelf piece show no control and can be used by customers still without a sales staff help.
With regard to all things into consideration, you can get a lot of buying points, HiFi components, DVD players and VCRs, but we do not get too excited about the purchase screen televisions, digital camera, or camera. If you decide to purchase things, remember that not, when there are some things to put on display, almost all vendors to destroy the field. In addition, you should consider the following questions:
ONE-you can return the item if it is found that wrong?
TWO - The manufacturer warranty is still valid?
THREE - You can buy the extended service plan for the unit if you too?
Apat - You all accessories and owners manual included?
Five - If you have identified the price per unit, make sure it is at least 15% off the original price, if any accessories or owner manual was missing units - to negotiate lower prices, reflecting the cost and availability of the missing accessories.
Large bargaining tool to get a good price on the display model means that you are ready to purchase the extended service plan, units or any other accessories to go with him. Although, legally, can save the price of the product does not change, so they can buy extended service plan and other accessories, you buy a display unit that stores are willing to get rid of.
Stores can usually set the price of the item and show as it sees fit, not content post price. No specific legal principles that can determine the value of the product, based on how many people have touched it, how long it is, no scratches or dents, etc.. From this view. Shop sells goods at any price in the store or district manager to choose where trade or violate company policy.
Of course, unlikely that the customer gets saved by using this approach, but it's certainly worth a try. With the agreement, in some companies, the consumer can potentially get a good price on the item you want to view, and still get some protection for the unit and / or accessories that you need to buy. Boils down to whether the products, the negotiations and the resulting price is definitely worth it.
Product Service comebacks
Your day after Christmas and go to the local store and see the consumer electronics clearance tables "all trade outside the window and open products. Although many of the tables can be products of the previously discussed categories (open-box return and shows), another category that appear in the tables: Product Service Comeback.
In fact, some witty, product services:
ONE - service products, made by customers who have never claimed after correction.
TWO - shows in some way damaged, repaired and sent back to the store to either return the display or sell the finished unit.
THREE - Service change plan. These include products that were previously owned by the customer, but need some repairs within a specified time period. In these cases, many plans service to store and / or the customer can have the unit back repaired or exchanged for a replacement unit corresponding to the present. At this point, service department will determine whether they simply dispose of the unit, sent it back to the manufacturer or service unit again and try to sell as open box items. If the unit is sent into service and sent back to the store for sale, but she usually appears on the "check table.
How do you say that when you look at them? This product must be labeled services (sticker, which looks like a UPC code, but was placed on the unit itself). Nevertheless, opportunities, sales person or manager can tell the product service history.
One way to determine whether something is returning from service, is to verify whether the designation of open field next to or slightly more, the service label. If the item contains more labels stacked on each other (like you for registering vehicles in recent years through the tag-tag of last year), is a great opportunity, which is a service and / or repriced frequently, it might be the purchase consideration.
To be honest, in many cases, debt service does not provide information on the repair history of the sales staff. In addition, the number of times all accessories and owners manual is not in the unit, and in fact, the owners manual or not available (even on-line services may try). To make matters worse, sometimes these things can be more than two years. It is in fact usually the camera. As a side note, I worked for one of CE, that trade has a 5-year-old high-end S-VHS VCR repaired editing services and returned to the shop the sales staff to sell.
Keys, if you decide to buy one of these things is to explore something really good, and not complete the purchase without seeing the final product of working conditions.
In addition, follow the same instructions listed in the previous page to purchase display items. Many times, selling such things as-is, trade sale is final (no return), and trade, can consider buying extended service plan for the items age and history of repair.
Alone, not to buy this type of thing, but if you are the buyer, and I determined entrepreneur, you may get lucky and something very practical for your needs. Always keep in mind that you buy at your own risk.
Final thoughts
Well, there you have it, some retail trade secrets which may be useful for you to find slide-After Christmas, Year-end, or business check. My last advice at this point is to eat a healthy meal before starting your quest, relax, have fun, but be alert and be ready to act. Remember, not only in the leap without a closer look at the possibility of buying!
