Question: What's the minimal discount % for electronics you would accept?

Post by rburton » Wed, Jun 22, 2011, 4:29 PM UTC

I'm trying to find out what is the minimal discount a person would accept on electronics. There hasn't been any good locations to find this information. Would it be 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, or other?

Survey your customers, or pay for some market research like everyone else. Posting a vague question and leaving your website address on your message is a spammy move, especially when you have so obviously cut-n-pasted that your text includes markup.

0%. I don't need a discount to buy high-quality hardware that I need.

Oh, wait, do you mean "what's the minimal discount I can offer to make you impulse buy something you don't actually need and that might not be as good as the alternative"?
