“We all love a bargain and, on CountSpin, it’s all about watching the price drop every second and snapping up a bargain before the stock sells out,” says the TownsvilleEye. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Congratulations to bargainhunter from Thailand for scoring a Luminox Field Chronograph Alarm Series Watch 1842 for $244.20 – a discount of 65%.

Marcus Chhan from Marketing-Interactive recently asked us in an interview if there was a particular reason why we timed the launch to coincide with the recession. Well, I wish I had a clever-sounding answer for him but the humble truth is that we did not foresee how this year was going to shape up any better than the next guy. That said, we did explain to him that the recession presents a good opportunity for businesses like us. For one thing, it gives us better access to assets (people, merchandise, etc). Furthermore, it reduces opportunity costs for us thus making it easier to labor away at a start-up.
So we will make the best of the timing and pretend as if we had planned for… nay, engineered this recession all along. Meanwhile, you can browse Marcus’ full coverage on - http://www.marketing-interactive.com/news/9921
We admit it — it does feel good at some level to be identified as a ‘young’ anything these days, now that the big 30 is behind us. Daniel Goh has given us the compliment of being ‘young upstarts’ on the technology blog he runs by that name. Check out the article below -
