sale in rebates

Yday i wrote about the tempting SALE "system" here in Shanghai. They also have another system where the discount is in the form of rebates. Eg. Buy ¥300 Get ¥100 in rebate. This kind of Sale will make you keep buying and buying... It's never-ending!

I remember when i was here for holiday in 2005, my sis & i went to some departmental stores and everytime we paid for something, we received vouchers...and we had to go look for something else to buy with it... It was sooo tiring!

There's also lots of "touters" who will keep asking you if you wanna sell your "rebate" to them. Eg. for a ¥60 voucher, they might take in for ¥20, and sell for ¥30. Smart huh! Buy & Sell! Yday when i was leaving, a lady also asked me if i have any receipts (i think she wanna claim the free gifts to sell), so i told her i've used it already. These people huh... Cannot believe!!!

Chinese are so intelligent! They find opportunities in every kind of "business". Haha!

P.S. I also wrote before about the touters waiting inside IKEA! That is amazing to me too!
