Descente Leg Warmers: Price drop 1% every day (What to do?)

    Hi, I came across these Descente Coldout Leg Warmers on Wiggle just there! They are in the "Price Drop" section, where items drop by 1% of the original price every mid-night (until it reaches 90% off or gets sold out). Currently, they are at €8.88 and are set to drop 47cent every day!

    I don't know what to do: (A) buy it now and make sure I get a pair, or (B) wait until the last day and get them for €4.68 (risking letting them get sold out!).
    Here is the price for each day:
    • Sat 10: €8.88 (81% off)
    • Sun 11: €8.41 (82% off):)
    • Mon 12: €7.95 (83% off)
    • Tue 13: €7.48 (84% off);)
    • Wed 14: €7.01 (85% off)
    • Thu 15: €6.55 (86% off):rolleyes:
    • Fri 16: €6.08 (87% off)
    • Sat 17: €5.61 (88% off):D
    • Sun 18: €5.15 (89% off)
    • Mon 19: €4.68 (90% off) :eek:
    The bad thing is that you cannot see how many are left, it could be the last one for all I know! The only consolation is that it is the extra small size, really tiny fitting and will not fit many people (but luckily it is my size! :D). However, there could be other bargain spotters out there of the same size :(! What do you think I should do? I know its only €4 in the difference, but come on, it should be fun trying to get the ultimate bargain! I don't need really them, but at this price I couldn't let them go! (I would never have paid the original €46.73 for them)

    P.S. There are some other good bargains in this section if you are lucky! Have a look, especially if you are out of the ordinary size wise! :p

    Every hear the phrase "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"?
    At this stage the any further drop wouldn't even buy a pint.

    Just buy them now. By the way how small are you? The only reason I'm asking is I bought a Boards winter training jacket (Small size) and it doesn't fit me. I'm 5' 7" and a skinny fecker (9 stone) and it's too tight on me. If you think it would fit, PM me your address and I'll post it to you. It's of no use to me and I'd rather someone got use out of it.

    Thanks for the advice guys, I ordered them for €8.40...a bargain! However, today I had a look at them here and they are no longer in the "PRICE DROP" section! They are still at 50% off and €23 but they should be around €7 at this stage...it says they will be reduced by 1% until they reach 90% off or they get sold out (obviously neither of which happened). I contacted Wiggle in an attempt to get them put back in the price drop section (as they should be) as I hope to get a spare set if they finally reach the around €4 mark!

    Wait 100 days and get them for free? ;)

    Wiggle move stuff around whenever they feel like it, if you wait around too long you miss it. I have also seen stuff in price drop where the discount stays static and the price does not in fact eh drop. €8.40 is a crazy bargain, if you had waited you would have had to pay €23, let that be a lesson to you! For what it's worth I have the same leg warmers myself and they would be well worth €23 never mind €8.40, you got a very good deal.
