How cheap and useful would a product have to be in order for me to buy it?
i feel an answer to this question is short and simple. In this case i will use the iphone as an example. Ok so if i had an old brick cell phone, a fat disorganised diary or organiser, a portable cd player and was wanting access to the internet when i am on the go, than ofcourse i would be looking for an item of technology that could put all of this into one small portable device. In this case my technology is shot and i really need an updated version. So i would look at the iphone, tick all the boxes etc. But before buying i would look at reviews, just to see how relieable or unreliable the product really is. There is no point in spending bags of cash on something that is going to die on me straight after i buy it. But it would also have to have a reasonable price tag, i would once again to research on pricing options, if i feel the offer being showed to me is way to high, than i would wait for another offer. I suppose it also depends how much you really need this product, if it isnt needed in the near future that wait until you need it. Usually you find when you wait you will catch it in a sale and possibly got a couple of hundred dollars off it. So what im saying is i wouldnt make any hasty decisions, id do my research, see how much i really needed it, and evaluate my results:)

hey, that is a very sensible process to go through before buying something. Many people (myself included) tend to just go ahead and buy something because we want it, regardless of a few flaws here and there. People may buy something just because everyone else has one and they want to fit in. Do you think part of its usefulness could also be its popularity/coolness factor?
i have to say i am really bad at impulse buying and probably dont doo as much research as i should...
thats a really good process to go through, i am def more of an impulse buyer!
