Tips for buying gadgets during sales festivals
Do your research before going to the retailer or the electronics store; know which device model or variant you intend to buy beforehand
Refrain from taking the first offer you are shown. Try your hand at bargaining, or specifically request the salespeople to show you lower-cost alternatives
Be certain about whether you wish to buy extended warranty from the retailer or from the electronics maker itself
Check the model numbers to make sure you are getting new products that will receive tech support, and not obsolete or outdated models
For large home appliances, measure your living spaces in order to prevent mistakes regarding size and accommodation
Look up exchange benefits and offers before committing to a deal
Check if your bank cards and coupons offer cashback options or further savings
Look for lower prices online and check with the retailer if they can price-match products for you
