Real consuuuuumers know that if you want an actual deal on something you plan to buy, you should wait for a rolling sale.
This has the added bonus of forcing you to think about how much you actually want to buy said thing, and also comes around pretty frequently so you don’t have to wait for any yearly events.
All time low prices are just not worth it in terms of time investment monitoring sales unless the thing is your hobby or you are really hard on cash and the purchase is a necessary one and a stretch for you, but then those purchase usually are not ones you can wait for anyways.
Yup. Thats the type of chart I would call a rolling sales chart. Amazon does the same, as does Bestbuy.
Many retailers do frankly.
Waiting a week can often save you 25-30%, and the high price would have been labelled a sale just the same as the low price, so no one would be any wiser to this without tracking the price.

What’s that?
A term for a regular sales price that comes back at normal not specifically event related intervals.
For instance many clothing stores will just have a “sale” every 4 weeks fore the same prices as the sale 4 weeks ago.
Another example is consumer electronics. Look at any price tracker and they’ll usually follow a very loose pattern

Oh wow that Newegg Canada in Green is crazy. And for a pretty large discount too.
I had not encountered this on any price graphs before, very interesting. Thank you.
