do sofa shops ever really have half price sales?

Question

or is it just a con and there really selling them at full price but just telling you there half price?

Answer 1

I watched a programme once where they investigated the DFS sales... apparently the sofas are supposed to be full price for a short while at their "flagship" store (for legal reasons), but the investigator got the salesman to admit that it was virtually impossible to get one at full price. Anywhere.

Answer 2

I think they get sofa's and say that the RRP price is say £1000 but they buy them so cheap that they can sell them for £500 there for they say



WAS: £1000

NOW £500



but really they always sell they for the 'NOW' price....



There's been a lot of publicity on the subject hence the advert that says....



"Half price sale...... Not another one" etc etc



NOTE: they say that they only have 2 sales a year TRue or false ? well I think it's true they have two 6 month long half price sales !

Answer 3

No! Of course they dont.

Dont believe them, its all a con. They try to make you rush down to the shop, they always say 'ends monday' or whatever! but then on tuesday there will be another sale.

If they say a sofa is £500, normally £1000, its not! its always been £500.

And you notice they always have 'sales'! It never ends.

If they kept selling things for half the price they were supposed to they'd be out of business.

Answer 4

Good Question it's one big con that's why we have sales all year round.Last year we went to the sales I wanted a 2 seater & 2 chairs.They had to be made so we ended up paying the full price.I could have by them got a 2 & 3 seater for half price.

Answer 5

Do they ever full price sales is what I want to know-it always seems to be half price!



This might seem unconnected, but I remember reading that when you see wine reduced in supermarkets, the manufacturers make as much selling the wine at half price for 3 months as they do for the other 9 months, because they sell more when its cheaper.

Answer 6

I think it's a con.. I never see them at full price.

Answer 7

its all a con they jus sell em for more at the beggining till its time for the sale!

Answer 10
