| Hi. I try to say in English. It was about selling things with only 10 euros/
a piece. One shop in Finland that posted to Facebook, that yes it is real and
the normal prices are many many times more, like hundred or hundreds maybe.
Things like what you use for sports somekind of bike at gym, sup boards, cages
for dogs, safety chairs for babies to use in cars, tents and many things more...
Told that it is only for this Saturday and Sunday and people can not make reservations
about the items there. They need to go there by themselves to queue... So i went
there. Too much people. No point in queue, some run fast when they opened the
big doors into the parking hall. Then needed to go more to another doors... Then
they only took inside small amount of people. People scattered around... And
it was commented also, that sellers had also been rude to customers in the way
of how they said or shouted things, their tone of voice, and some children crying
and what else.. Some had bought like so so much already and only some persons
got items to buy. I was only about 20 minutes behind the second doors and i knew
it is not worth my time since no real queue system, and many things. I had not
eaten breakfast before going there. The commenting at their Facebook page said
it as it was.. People were very angry and annoyed how they said there would be
stuff much to sell, yet some people were so greedy and bought like too much and
that they are afraid that the ones that bought much, only bought, because they
want to sell them with so high price on internet.... Sorry my lousy way of trying
to say this all in English..Well, had to see it with my own eyes... I hope, that
if that same shop ever does that again, it would do things different way... For
example not like 1 person can buy 10 items... But more like 1 person could buy
1 or 2 or something. Because all the time waiting and not get anything is not
nice at all.. To buy something that is really needed like car seat for baby i
really understand.. But to buy many with so low price just to get lots of money
for 1 person because selling it later with much much higher price.. I also know,
that it is not my business to say that what people should buy or should not buy.
I just wanted to say my opinion, that it would be so nice, if more people could
buy with those kind of prices, than just maybe a few or 10 when that was advertised
at the certain shop's Facebook page. Personally i would have wanted to see
tent, maybe buy 1 tent. I have crosstrainer i bought closer to 10 years ago,
that is enough for me, and that cost much more than just 10 euros...

That sounds like Black Friday type sales that happen in the US and more recently
in the UK. Too many people for too few low priced items, often fighting for them.

| Hi, i watched that video... Oh my... I wonder do the items ever get broken before
the buyer is either paying for the item or after buying it, but before the buyer
is at home.. I guess i would be too stressed to be in that kind of place, where
people would push each other just to get their hands to the most wanted items..
