Great times to buy hi-tech

How to buy the cheapest hi-tech with the highest quality is always a difficult question for everyone. There are many factors that affect the price of technology products. For example: Configuration, warranty . Surely, everyone knows that to be cheaper, users often choose to lower the hardware configuration of the device.

However, there is an extremely important factor that will help you buy cheaper items but important factors such as configuration, quality, warranty are still guaranteed. The key factor here is time. Choosing the right time to buy items will definitely save you "decent" costs. In this article, we would like to advise you on some great times to "buy" hi-tech.

It must be stated that these are the right times because it is "built" much based on the general psychology of the seller and the buyer.

Time of early summer and (possibly) borders Tet

These two times proved to be very suitable for you to buy portable products from countries with many Vietnamese students, such as Singapore. Firstly, the Tet holiday of Vietnam is often close to the Western New Year shopping season. Although the ability of "off-the-shelf" off-sale programs like the end of the year is unlikely, some small promotions with a 10 ~ 15% reduction are not uncommon.

Besides, this is the time many students go on holidays or Tet holidays. Many of these people seek to bring back some hot products to Vietnam to "earn" little profit. Take, for example, the iPhone 4 price in Singapore falls to over VND 14.5 million (the exchange rate on March 7, 1, SGD = VND 16,770.56VNĐ - Vietcombank), then it returns to Vietnam, its price reaches 19-19,5 million VND (refer to portable stores at the same day). Thus, if "sold cheap" for 18 million (cheaper than the store to 1-1.5 million), for each iPhone 4, these students "earn" up to 4 million - a small number .

Thus, if you need to buy an iPhone, buying from this source is a bad choice. With the psychology of selling quickly, selling neatly and not losing store and advertising costs . they usually sell at least 1-2 million dong per product.

Of course, this time is only for hot products because international students often do not have "capital" or bravery to "embrace" unpopular products and low demand.

The moment there is "rumor" official distribution

This is a quite sensitive time and you need to know the situation of the technology world to buy the product you like. If before, the time of official distribution announcement almost did not affect the price (because the official price is too high), now, the price difference between genuine and portable goods has greatly decreased. . Particularly like iPhone 4, genuine price is lower than that of portable products.

Of course, with hot products like the iPhone 4 along with such prices, the scene of distributors (iPhone 4 is a network operator) is no longer available for sale is obvious. However, at the first time the operator announced the price, portable iPhone 4 products simultaneously dropped sharply. The move is due to the fact that portable stores are concerned about competing with operators.

Buying an iPhone 4 at the right price is not easy.

However, the key point here is that after only a short time, the stores rallied to increase the price because they knew that the operator did not have enough goods to sell. For example, if you are a "awake" user, try to take advantage of time periods like this.

Near the time of launching new products and before stopping production

This is the time when product prices fall to the lowest and are easiest to grasp. Specifically, when launching new high-end products, NSX tends to reduce the price of old products to increase sales. The cause of this is simply because a large part of the cost of hitech products comes from research, design and risk prevention costs (actually for some products this is the main cost).

Take, for example, the iPhone 4, the price of materials for this phone is only 187.51 USD (according to iSuppli and the article posted on Cnet). So, compared to the selling price in Singapore is 888 SGD (equivalent to 702 USD). Thus, after depreciating the technology and stopping the promotion of the product, the profit of the NSX is still very large and their discount is certain.

However, for all products (especially hot products), the price increase after stopping production is natural. This comes from the large demand of the market while "goods" are no longer produced. For example, the 1110i, a few years ago, we could buy it easily for about 400,000 VND (about $ 25 at that time), now the price of an 1110i second hand is also more than the number. this.

Above are some golden times to buy technology products. Depending on the needs and abilities of each person, enlist "a good product" at a reasonable price. Wish you can "buy" the item you want.
