People like to think they are getting a bargain whenever they buy something so when it appears there is a bargan to be had they buy it.
Just like all those store liquidators - lets say K mart is closing - store itself marks things down weeks before the deadline and thats the best time to buy things but everyone is waiting to the last week when things are 70-80-90% off. What alot of people dont know is the store has sold everything they have to a liquidation company by then that swoops in then marks the prices back up sometimes higher than MSRP THEN take 70-90% off. SO in reality you arent saving anything VS a normal sale but it appears you got a great bargain and people will buy all sorts of crap and start fist fights over discounted christmas lights
People are weird - they are like raccoons when buying things. They love shiny things and love to rummage around in boxes looking for nothing.
