Gixxerjoe04 Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 So me and my wife bought a new house and are moving in next weekend. We sold our last couch when we moved out of our last house and had to buy a new one. We went out Memorial Day weekend to find one since everyone had "sales" going on. Found one we liked and bought it. The "sale" saved us $300, so wasn't much of a sale. I went back into the store a little over a week later and they lowered the list price of the couch $200 and don't have a sale going on. So we still paid $100 less than what the price is now, but anyone else think that's just crappy and I should complain to try and get the $200 difference back? Having the listed price of something and having a sale, then lowering the list price a week later just pissed me off for some reason even though we did save a little bit more than the current listed price.

ncfowler Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 let me get this straight, the couch was on sale 300 off, a week or so latter they reduced the price 200, I'm trying to figure out how you will get money back since you got the couch at a reduce rate to begin with, If you would have bought the couch that following week you would have only saved 200 and not got the additional 100 in saving, like you said you already are 100 less than what it is now, If the couch was paid for at full price and a week latter it went on sale I would say go for it. would you be willing to return the couch for a refund and pay the 200 in reduced price, ? or was this an additional 200 under the sale price ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggers Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 You'll find that most furniture stores discount from the the list price when they have a sale. If I understand you correctly you got $100 off their every day discounted price during the sale. Sounds like a sale to me and I personally wouldn't complain about it.

Gixxerjoe04 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Well I mean technically, wouldn't do any good to complain I know that, but inflating the price and having a sale then lowering that price is bullspit. If I sell something, not gonna give someone a discount then just lower the price of the item after just a little more than what I sold it discounted as. At the end of the day, we saved around 2-3% over what we could have bought it now. Of course I guess furniture sales = used car sales I guess.

rodger. Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Spend the 100 extra you saved on beer, and call it a win ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 If you go into a furniture store and don't expect to get smoke in mirrors BS then you're naive. You got exactly the deal they wanted to give you and you paid what you thought was a fair price. You lost the battle, regroup and focus on the war. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxerjoe04 Posted June 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Haha oh I know, I would have been happy to of found a couch from a yard sale, could have bought a ton of tools with the money saved from doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Not only would complaining get you no where but this is also typical of what Americans are used to. How many stores out there inflate their retail price to sell things on sale 100% of the time. clothing is terrible at this. I feel like we (consumers) don't pay full price, everything has to be on sale. I got a credit card that allows me to apply to get money back if the item goes on sale with in 60 days and stopped trying to time sales. Was nice for my PM1000 i bought it when i wanted it and when the PM sale came on i got my 10% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedinblue Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 This reminds me of a rather dumb complaint I had about Festool, when I bought a "used" Domino off of Amazon.com and had to buy a small part that was missing. Some things you just have to shake your head at, shrug your shoulders and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coop Posted June 12, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 We sell to restaurants and one particular ethnic group always asks for a discount. So before going in, I mark my price up 25% to these guys and when the request for a discount comes up in the conversation, I give them 20% off of my original quote. This guy, with a wad of cash in his pocket, is happy and I made more than 5% above my regular price. You still saved a good percent over the guy that buys that same couch tomorrow. You thought you got a good deal when you bought it, and you did, unless it was faux leather?. I'm glad I'm not the only one that calls it a couch and not a sofa? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Ever notice how many places advertise 'liquidation sales'? Isn't that just what selling stuff is to begin with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
