Cheap Sale!

My company (actualli not mine lah, i just work there) held a staff sale some time back where items such as Plasma TVs and DVD recorders were slashed to as low as $1500 and $200 respectively.

Of course everybody was in a frenzy as items which were sold at a high price in the streets are available at a discounted price.

These items were snapped up within minutes!

The only catch was that the items were display sets. But that is not the main reason what i want to talk about. It just crossed my mind today when i was going to work.

How do you consider sumthing as cheap? U might consider a $200 DVD recorder as cheap but do you think a man who hardly earns $200 a month consider it as cheap?

Is cheapness measured by the amount it has been reduced from the original price?

Or is cheapness affected by one's affordability over these things?

It's actually quite subjective to discuss sumthing as cheap. Everybody will have their own opinion on this depending on individual earnings, savings, mentality...

So the next time you consider sumthing as cheap, remember! Others may see u as filthy rich!
