I bought the book "Art of SEO' for 575 ruppees just 10 days ago.Iam surprised to see the price at 460 ruppees today.It pinches you isnt it.When something you buy gets a discount in price immediately after you buy

sometimes you can take it back to the seller and show them the deal you would have gotten somewhere else and they will refund the difference.

The market is volatile and you can't do anything about it. It goes up and builds tension. It goes down and builds resentments. This is all part of the deal. I don't usually buy books online. I just download them for free. I have 6-7 good books on SEO and I downloaded them for free. They are the best books available in the market. I recently bought a book called The Art of War by Sun Tzu. I bought it because it's something that you would like to carry with you wherever you go. It's a lifetime asset. It will not pinch me even if the price falls. If the price had been higher I would have happily paid it. The more you pay the more precious the book becomes to you. A book on SEO is not a lifetime asset. You read it, learn from it and then put it aside. You start applying the knowledge once you finish the book. Why buy such books with such a huge price? The content of The Art of War is not something that you can finish in a lifetime. It's bigger than its size and price.

Its preference.I prefer reading books - The smell of a new book and the feel for the pages makes reading more enjoyable.I donot and cannot read too long the digital copies.So,to each his own.And I think the author if its a good work deserves the price.

Hi Elsoft, i also have experiences the same, i bought a sandal and after some time the same shop announced a year end sale.. NO..... not with me .. please. i just cant take that. because of that i didn't go inside to see at what price they are selling other wise i would have killed my self for being impatience

Its seems funny to others when we share our experiences.May be even to us after a few years.But the feeling at that moment is like "someone has pinched you hard"

I know what you mean, I have bought countless items and have had the price be lowered days later.I buy a lot of my stuff at places that offer the difference if the price lowers within 30 days.Future shop is one place that I shop that offers the difference on the price if it is lower than what you have purchased it for.I bought an archos portable media player a year ago and the price went down 80 dollars and i went back with my receipt and got the difference , no haste at all.I love shopping there at future shop just for this reason as a lot of stores do not do this and it is a real money saver if used wisely.

You are lucky to have something like that.I bought it online and I dont think the firm offers any such returns,unfortunately.Anyway,I have to move on...
