eBay 20% off. Wait or Buy?

There are quite a few things selling for good prices at the 20% off tech sale. I'm considering a few hard drives (Seagate 2tb portable and Western digital 4tb) and a ninja blender ($159.20 at the good guys ebay). What my question is.. Will this much discount come around again? ie. Eofy sales? I know we can't predict the future but I'm not in the loop about eBay discount sales and how often 20% comes along.
I will probably buy a wd 4tb hard drive to replace the nearly full Seagate I have and it's at a good price, as well as the 2tb portable as a new hard drive for my ps4 which got full too.
I'm really mulling over the ninja though. The last time I saw it at a good price was $169 I think at boxing day sales. My mum owns one already and I wanted to get one for myself last Christmas but decided against it.

    20% comes around every now and then, I guess if you dont want it right now just wait.

    Pretty much comes around every 2 or 3 months, but with different retailers. I would say EOFY is the next one.

    Watch out for some of the deals though - there are plenty of unscrupulous retailers such as Kogan that participate. They jack their prices before the sale is announced and remove stock from their eBay website.

    Forget about it if you actually care about saving your own money - since you appear to not require the items you told us about it seems that Ebay marketing has caused you to consider spending when you weren't going to previously.

  • Put an 'Oz bargain' search alert on the stuff that you are after…if it's @ the right price (ie. lower than retail or what you've seen previously) then go for it!

    As long as you don't pay retail for it…it's a bargain!!!
