ok lang ang impulse buying kung murang items lang... panu na kung ma impulse buy ka sa guitars worth P50k pataas, patay
Sakto yan sakin. Kahapon, bigla ako may nakita na Ibanez prestige S5470 sa classifieds, showroom mint, I bargained, pumayag, bili agad! All in one day, that's impulse buying, haha.
Same with my Fender Tele, American Deluxe, Yamaha LLX6A and Blackstar HT40 - all impulsively bought, but I never regret it, even if I have to make big adjustments to finances after. My trigger is price vs. value - basta sulit and opportunistic (like sobrang mura pero mint, or sobrang laki ng discount), as long as I'm happy with the sound, then yun na. Hindi din ako lugi sa re-sale if ever I decide to sell (although ironically the impulse buys are the ones that stay).
Actually, even the Gibson Trad Pro that I bought from US to sell here was bought impulsively, again opportunistic because of the good price... and I was right, the Gibby paid for my Zoom G3
Diba parang pag may hinahanap ka, di mo makikita... tapos pag wala kang hinahanap, bigla ka may makikita na MISMO? Yun ang psychology of impulse buying, haha
