"RoseGarden" - - - - - - - from - nscave

Here we are well into the new year of 2009 and the input here has been slow. Not that there isn't enough subject matter. Just the time to put it together seems to slip by, but not anymore for awhile anyway.

Let's look at the sales again. The big rush is over but retailers hope to keep on selling stuff, so the sales continue.

For example many of them advertise "No payments, no interest, for 12 months." When I look at the merchandise offered, it makes me wonder. Would you even have the product for that long? Most of it looks like that buy it, use it once, and put it in the closet category.

The other question is - would it really last 12 months? Looks like it would be broken, sent back or thrown away long before that.

And in 12 months you get to pay for something you didn't want, didn't need, is no longer working, and what the &*^@ was it type of deal.

This is the stuff they tried to sell all year and no one would fall for it. Now the price is too good to be true, so you buy it anyway.

Take those fold up portable beds for example, that you can carry over your shoulder. Haven't you always had the urge to carry a queen size bed over your shoulder?  And just where are you going to put it. In the living room?

Or the fold up treadmill exercise machine that will fit under your bed - if your bed has four feet of clearance underneath. You need to be in shape before you poke that thing under the bed or get it out of there. They never show that part.

Then there's the "not available in any store at any price" item that you have watched on TV for the last few months. Funny how they always appear in stores with no shipping attached.

Think I will apply reverse advertising. No Interest No Payments for this kid.
