Samsung laptop & PowerCity

You will not believe this.  You may remember I told you all I was trying to buy a new Samsung laptop from PowerCity (the Irish electrical retailer) but didn’t as they would not give me a reasonable discount. Well the laptop was on sale for €449.95 and they only offered a discount of €15 which was really bad as I was paying cash and also giving them my business. Well, the same laptop is now on sale for €339.95. That’s a difference of €110. Even at this new reduced price, they will make a good working profit. But if they gave me a discount in the first place, I would have purchased the laptop for €420 and they would have made over €90 more than now. MADNESS!  No wonder our small country is in so much financial trouble when retailers can turn down business so readily.

Don't feel hard done by man! Think of me in Bulgaria - I make just about enough money to buy one loaf of bread every nine days or so! Take it easy!
