Best time to buy "stuff"
Posted by Stephen Waits Tue, 24 Jan 2006 16:51:00 GMT
CNN is running an interesting article called From TVs to toys, the best time to buy everything.
In summary:
Airline Tickets: On Wednesday. Avoid the 7-14 day window as that’s the worst.
TVs: April.
Houses: Winter.
Cars: Late summer, early fall.
Games: Holiday season, or after the hysteria fades.
Toys: Before and after holidays and August, the end of summer.
I’ll add one of my own…
- Macs: Watch the rumors, and if there seems like there’s something major in the works, and one of the big Apple events is on the horizon, then be patient and wait. For example, this upcoming April 1st is Apple’s 30 year anniversary. Seems like a good time to wait before ordering that sweet new MacBook.
