Getting good deals

Believe it or not, getting good deals is NOT about the cheapest price. Although most of us think what we want is cheap, what we really want is value! The problem though is that we can’t put a price on value until we own or use something awhile. Price on the other hand stares us in the face everytime we go to buy something. Personally, the thought of having to buy something has become a drain due to the quality of products today. I get Anxious and dread the thought of the potential problems caused by getting yet another product that will not live up to the hype

So what makes a good value? Service, support, cleanliness of the people providing a service, thing that actually work and work well along with price.

While price may be the biggest determining factor for many purchases, the fact is that consumers are getting tired of getting junk products. How many VHS recorders have you purchased recently? If you are like many of us, the darn things only last about a year of so. Of course, they’ve become so cheap that maybe buying one every year is ok.

We see this in the computer industry a lot. Things like CD-Rom players and even power supplies that once were good for 5 yeas or so are now going out every couple of years. Is this a good thing? Well, depending on your need to have the latest and greatest products the answer could be yes. For many of us though, we just want our purchases to work. I don’t care if the product has a warranty. It’s still a hassle for me to remove the product from the computer (or entertainment center) find a packing box, ship it to the company, wait the 4-8 weeks and do without my product during that time.

Give me a good quality product that works the long term anytime over just a cheaper price.
