Best deals (purchases) during the covid19 era....
« on: August 24, 2020, 09:08:33 AM »
Was chatting idly with the Sr HA on a Zoom meeting and we got to talking about the devaluation of goods during this time (since March)...  I thought at first the biggest savings to be had were on cars... seeing how Enterprise (I think that is the one) went bankrupt and will flooding the markets with it's inventories for the next 3-4 years.  Along with dealerships trying to move their inventory.  Apparently though it is the computer industry that has some great savings.  He told me that his grand daughter bought a new PC with 32g RAM 2T hard drive 500 SSD drive plus a generic monitor and it was only $389.00.  He said if she had went with the custom built Dell online it would have been even cheaper.
I haven't bought a PC in over 12 years (company sends me mine every two years), but this seems dirt cheap compared to when I had buy one for university.

What other deals are out there?  And don't say bitcoin.  LOL

You are wrong about the car market, we are in a used car shortage and the market is strong.

I don't think so.  My gf bought a new Toyota Rav4 at the end of June.  The salesman told us they were getting flooded with trade ins and lease returns.   He said the tactic of taking excess inventory out to the auctions was at a standstill, that it just wasn't moving.

That is just what he said, so it could very well be wrong.   Just giving my .02 on what I was told and what I saw first hand.

Where do you think the best savings are?

Your gf should've bought ammo instead.  After November, you'll understand why.

New cars are the biggest waste of money.  Ride the old one into the ground before buying a new one.

My first reaction is the same but then it's also possible that THE TRAITOR will insist the election was rigged and tell his braindead followers to take up arms and take the to the streets

New cars are a waste but to qoute a wise old man I knew, I'm hoping to waste alot of money before I die.

You mean like all the pussies that claimed they would if he were impeached?   The fat asses that look like an assistant manager at Tire King who spent their stimulus check on discount Cabelas tactical gear?

No it doesn't.   The riots and looting going on is just a warm-up.  Wait and see.
