Take a look at the picture above, I had the same experience as you. I bought this kid's toy (marked at $9.90) after receiving a $5 red packet for a skyrocketed red packet from Soyobo, so I posted $4.90 for it. After receiving it I was also dumbfounded, actually not as big as my palm, so mini, with the picture and the seller's introduction is simply not the same thing.
Buying a car
I have the most impression and experience of buying a car, if not for an acquaintance to tell me, I can never figure out the seller's routine. I now tell you to buy a car to buy the most cost-effective medium-range car, not recommended to buy a low or high-range car.
When I bought my car 2 years ago, I went to the 4S store by myself.
The low end version at that time, no air curtains, no side airbags, not to mention back up camera, sunroof, keyless ignition, the seats are all fabric, no center control, no navigation need to think about it, even the wheels are steel not aluminum ...... This car was 100k. At that time I was only this 100k budget, just right. But I think in terms of configuration to what not, feel not worth it.
This time sales started her show. She told me, or let me add some money 10,000 so that she went to apply with the sales manager, the configuration of these I want to add in. At that moment, I thought, that each of the shells are not 100,000, if those configurations are added, only need to add 10,000 yuan, that I am not earning? After the back to continue to chat, it went up to the middle of the car, and finally chose the middle model. And, in fact, after all those features came up, it was the mid-range model.
Originally, the seller is to see that we consumers recognize the car brand, but our consumers' budget is only 100,000, but 100,000 models is nothing of the low-end version, will feel that this low-end can not match the price, so the sale of the consumer will allow us to increase the price of the mid-range.
Simply put, the seller doesn't want to sell me the low end version of the car, she aims to sell me the mid-range version. And, the stats, too, are proving that the mid-range model is the best seller and the highest seller. So, this is the seller's ruse to get you to add money to sell you a higher priced product. Merchant's Ruse
Merchant's Ruse: Using Vouchers
Back to the example I started with, it's about being misled by vouchers.
A toy pigeon was marked down to $4.90, and I didn't feel anything when I looked at it. Then the seller changed the formula, increased the price to $9.9, gave me a $5 coupon, I felt that I took advantage of the bargain, it was a good deal, the total price still remained the same, but I felt comforted in my heart.
Suggestions
Now the network is a lot of this set up, so it is recommended that we must be vigilant, do not be the merchants with the so-called coupons to the set up of their own. Only buy the right ones, not the expensive ones or the ones that have no value. ShoppingChoose the goods in the middle of the match is relatively cost-effective.
