Are you a patient person and it pays off, or are you simply a procrastinator, something coincidentally falls in your favor and you have an "OH SHIT! GOTTA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT RITE MEOW!" moment situation development thing?
Depends on situation. From the aspect of a consumer I’m patient. I’ll research what I want and wait for a decent sale. I don’t usually buy a ‘flash’ sale item if it wasn’t something I was already looking for.
