Quote:Or, if some part of the item has some uncertainty attached to it, I might also buy, like I used to be into trading cards when I was in High School, and you never know what you're going to get in a pack.
Quote:When I've researched a product extensively before shopping, I'm less likely to buy because I already know what I want. In this case, I don't want salespersons to make a pitch to me, I just want them to point me at the one with the exact specifications, including price, that I'm looking for. If they don't have it, or the price is higher than my research suggests is available, I go elsewhere, or even hold off until I can find it.
Quote:There's very few times I impulse buy
Quote:I'm sure in some cases it may be attraction to the salesperson
Quote:risk/benefit assessment pathway.
Quote:Basically, I think buying, selling, and shopping may be a form of gambling, or at least similar enough to it they operate on the same psychological level.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Quote:Originally posted by 1kiki: I find most commercials insulting and it makes me less likely to buy. The ones I like from an entertainment standpoint are the Mr Mayhem commercials (I'm a hot babe ....) - but I don't remember the product he's selling (insurance ...?) and I really don't remember the company, and am not going to buy it anyway. So, I'm trying to figure out where you're coming from DT, b/c I can't imagine myself reacting to a commercial as you describe.

Quote: when people are feeling good they tend to second guess themselves less, like for instance, when you're on a vacation you're feeling great and you're more likely to buy new stuff because hey, you're on vacation! so why not.
