Best Times to Buy (if you can)

Published on March 12, 2011 By DrJBHL In Personal Computing

Not strictly Personal computing, except that some of the items covered are tied to that.

This really caught my eye, and I figured (maybe I'm wrong) it could come in really useful at least to some degree for just about everyone. It comes from Lifehacker which I couldn't live without. Well, not as well, anyway. Don't forget to check your papers, though. This doesn't tell you where to buy, after all. It's just a "general guide".

It's been “just sitting there” so... here's my contribution for today. Lifehacker’s calendar:

I see wedding dresses are good value in the fourth quarter.... in case I ever get around to cross-dressing.

In the meantime, however, I'll keep my eye open in the second quarter in the boot section for stilletto heeled pair.

I'm stressed out, man! Only two more weeks to buy a boat. I'm not on a boat.

off-color cars

Like wot the f**k does that mean? They're cheaper cos somebody offed the duco on 'em?

"Ah, Daniel San, paint on.... paint off."

"But Mr. Miyagi, doesn't that mean we'd have to sell them cheaper?"

"Not your worry, Daniel San, in January we sell them at twice going price with paint on."

If the calender was intended to tell you the best time to buy something to save the purchaser money, the best time to buy a boat is not right before boating season.

The best time to get a deal and save some cash on a boat is during the fall season, not spring. This is especially true in buying from an individual instead of a boat dealer.

I would think that if your in Australia, March would be a good time to buy one. Where is Lifehacker based at?

Boats: It's the end of boat show season; you've got the upper hand.

That's their reasoning for it.

If you don't understand what a word means I would suggest you look it up before making yourself look stupid.

"Varying from the usual, expected, or required color"

So, a purple Chevy Blazer.. an orange Honda Civic.. a yellow F150.

You missed the whole point dude. We all know what off color means. Do you know what 'spoof' means?
