This article reminded me of a "sale trap" that I came across recently. A select shop that I've stepped into a few times but have never purchased because of the ridiculous prices is having a going out of business sale. It turns out that even though they claim "everything is 50-80% off," some bloggers have written about how the store deliberately fixed the price-tags so that even after 50-80% off, the consumer was actually paying the original price.

It also makes me think of how things in general are traps, dvds on "sale" are not that cheap considering how expensive they are ($100 box sets?!) in the first place...

Never believe what other say. Go by your conscience. Before taking a decision, make a research on the market or commodities. This is the best strategy to avoid a sale trap.

I took a course in school when time called "Professional Sales." Let me tell you, we covered every single aspect of sales. Especially how to react to every form of rejection. Some of the best sales people these days have mastered these type of courses and they can even con the most strong minded person into a sale. You just have to be prepared to say no firmly, no matter how juicy the offer may seem.
