Many people crowded around it. The sales person took about 10 minutes to pitch about the Smart TV and the actual (before discount) price.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/P1140128m.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"P1140128m\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/P1140128m.jpg?resize=484%2C561\" width=\"484\" height=\"561\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He then escalated the offer (without revealing the price) with free gifts. BTW, the free gifts are actually quite good. In this case, it is AirTrack Soundbar and a Samsung NX DSLR camera.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, he took out 5 cards for this sale. Only those with card can buy it at special price. In the past, people would rush for the cards. However, this time, it took a lot of effort to convince anyone to take the card. Before I left the booth, there are still 2 cards left.<\/p>\n<p>So, how much is the offer? In my opinion, it is a good deal. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsung.com\/sg\/consumer\/tv-audio-video\/television\/led-tv\/UA60F6300AMXXS\" target=\"_blank\">F6300 60&#8243; Smart TV<\/a> is usually retailed at <strong>S$4,999<\/strong> (according to the sales person. I checked that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.courts.com.sg\/Products\/PID-IP071332%28Courts%29\/Home-Entertainment\/TV\/Smart-LEDs\/50-above\/SAMSUNG-60-IN-FULL-HD-SMART-LED-LCD-TV-UA60F6300AMXXS\" target=\"_blank\">Courts Singapore is selling at S$3,079 (no free gifts)<\/a>). The offered price is at <strong>S$2,590<\/strong>. That is a huge discount! Of course, for this kind of sales, do not expect the product to be the latest model. I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsung.com\/sg\/consumer\/tv-audio-video\/television\/led-tv\/UA60F6300AMXXS-spec\" target=\"_blank\">checked the specs<\/a> and it seems ok.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the video.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZxvK9cZFx0M?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It is now a common sight for brands to use the &#8220;limited&#8221; quantity, special price, free gifts tactics to entice customers to make decision on the spot. However, it seems like the effect of this tactic is wearing off as compared to a few years ago when it started.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it also depends on the price of the item and whether the customer is at the right time and place when the sales begins. My advice for anyone who wants a good deal.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do your homework by checking out the models, prices from various sources.<\/li>\n<li>Go to the IT show and check out the offers<\/li>\n<li>Check with the sales person if there is any special sales or not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don&#8217;t regret after the show ends. I believe those who are reading this might be regretting now&#8230; In my opinion, the consumers are already &#8220;numb&#8221; or &#8220;picky&#8221; to such tactics.<\/p>\n<p>[ad#img]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nowadays, people are more tech savvy and hence, even there is a good offer, the reaction from them are not as spontaneous as before.
