The 399.00 euros bargain i lost!

Monday morning...

Ugh... after a dense weekend of Saint George celebrated (this year) the same day that Saint Thomas "the Unbeliever" was celebrated! And Saint Thomas "the Unbeliever" is a Pontian Feast...

Our family's George - "celebrating his name-day" - wanted NOT to miss the Saint Thomas' Local Bazaar!

So tired today... Came to the office early in the morning, with a Springtime "catch-a-cold" condition knocking on my door, hearing it in my bones...

I turned on the PC and checked the emails and there it was... under the section of "offers"... this extreme offer of "weekend" that I... "lost"... Oh, yeah, I lost the chance to spend 399.00 euros instead of the initial price of 532.00 euros for a set of earphones! God, can't believe I've lost such a bargain! 

Couldn't avoid taking a screenshot! I was too kind to trim it and not include the seller's name or any brand-name... After all this post is not to be harmful to anyone. Greece is a free EU Country in terms of everyone being free to buy or sell any legal product or service at any price he/she likes!

But can't avoid the comparison...

In Greece of 2017, a 23 y.o. boy or girl is more than happy to find a job position, 5-6 hours x 6 days a week (after who knows how many months/years of unemployment) in a supermarket for a month salary of 399.00 euros (net)... 

And, I'm wondering...

Are there really such cleverly designed ads in this mass-based "cosmos" - the w-w-web - (meaning ads that are not carefully addressed to a more specific target group) that "promote" the "offer" of a pair of "earphones" (not even a professional - doing miracles - headset) at the price of 399.00 euros instead of the initial price of 532.00 euros (!) promoting what exactly? Probably that, they offer a 25% reduction... that successfully brings the price of the "earphones" to a level equivalent of one month's salary... of a Greek life-starter... And this in... the Greek (already dead) market!

Cannot decide whether it is a "social" or a "marketing" provocativeness that..., that annoys me more!
