Actually, I know a people who are extremely well off and will buy almost everything that has been sharply reduced in price. And that really is the only reason they buy that stuff -- not because they wanted it in the first place. One guy buys a ton of useless items and then his head hurts from deciding who he can offload all of these things onto as "gifts".
I could never understand this. If I don't want something I will never buy it, no matter how cheap it is. (it would at least make sense if you think you could easily resell the item for a higher price).
