The last year I've been sucked in by Harvey Norman 'Sales' on a few occasions and been overwhelmingly disappointed.
One time I went to the 'Massive half yearly clearance' to look at mattresses - and they were just using it to clear used floorstock at 50% off (which is the standard discount on new mattresses for Big Box retailers).
Is Harvey Norman the worst at this? Who else does it?
Name and shame.
Some retailers put up signs saying "up to 50% off", then when you go inside and ask the sales clerk what is 50% off, they umm and ahh and there's actually nothing 50% off.
Be wary of their stock system as well
Wanted an external HDD, found one for $58 on their website and it said it was in stock at my local store. Went down there and it wasn't in stock, they did of course have a more expensive one to sell me though. I checked over the next few days and it still said IN Stock
Also I signed up for their newsletter to get the $25 voucher and it hasn't worked on either of the two items I've tried to use it on. They are fast becoming a retailer I just ignore no matter what they are offering
Rug businesses
- rugs galore
- rugs a million
Etc
To be fair, a lot of rug businesses are actually having Going Out Of Business Sales. (Perpetually)
Just like humans can say they are dying.
Birthdays aren't just a reminder of when and how long ago you were born. They're also a reminder that you are 1 year closer to death (where the age you will die is the average male/female lifespan in your country + or - x.)
