On Saturday I went to a craft fair. Some of the people advertising and selling their products had some poor sales pitches. One gentleman told me that one particular product really is only $3 dollars but due to packaging that costs $15 dollars, the price for that product is high. Now I wouldn't want to buy that product if I am mostly paying for packaging that will eventually just get thrown away in the trash. When I was looking at some jewelry with my friend, the lady told us that she lets her kids or students wear jewelry. I first that was unsanitary but also the wear and tear that goes on the jewelry from kids wearing it. I thought their speeches prevented me from buying their products. Poor marketing I think on their part.

Two Friday's ago I went and looked at used cars to start my process of hopefully trading in my Jeep. I first would like to mention that it takes a certain individual to be a car salesman and someone who knows how to work their market. The salesman was determined to sell me on a lease deal and told me that lease deals change month to month. The idea that the deal i could get today may be gone next month, was one way to draw me in to the lease deal. When looking at the used cars, he made sure to add that "the CarFax doesn't list EVERYTHING on the car" another reason why I should lease. The last comment he made which I thought was rather odd was when I asked about any black Friday deals. He immediately thought I was trying to work a deal on him but I was rather just simply have a conversation as I was in no rush to put down money and sign papers that night. I think the Car market takes on a whole new experience of buying and consumerism due to the stakes and commission rates. My sister and I thought maybe he makes more money if he were to sell us a lease deal. Either way, the car market is a very tricky market to feel comfortable in.

On black Friday my friend and I were black Friday shopping and at Bath and Body Works. The deal was buy 3 get 3 free and recently they were selling all their products for $4.95 each. I thought we bought them at $10 each make the deal pretty much the same but the price was $12 for each bottle. My friend did the math and we would have saved $12 dollars if we bought our products over the weekend then over black Friday.
