Sounds a lot like the Great Singapore Sale we have out here yearly. Doesn't bring such massive crowds obv but the discounts are pretty similar.

It's just a moronic aspect of US/Western culture in general, the way shopping is ritualised. It's little to do with actual savings - there's ****ing sales on all year around if you keep your eyes halfway open.

People are more likely to buy retail items around Christmas?

News to me.

In the fine print, once you've got past several paras of legal drivel, there'll be the oddball "Retailer guarantees only 1 at this price" sentence thrown in.

But once you're there, you'll not be able to resist buying 3 child bikes for $35 apiece, even though you've got no kids. Just in case, you know.

Haha my folks always do that. Dad recently bought a 40" phillips smart tv for $400. It was only cheap cause it had been used in the F1 stands for 3 days. It's currently sitting in our storeroom collecting dust and he refuses to try and sell it off.
