wise purhase = checking the cash in your pocket / value for YOUR money...

I did a promo last month for genuine Focal Access 165A1 6.5" components. Only RM650. If you wait patiently enough for great deals, it will come.
I once did a clearance for MB Quart Discuss components, 6 months after the particular model has phased out. It was the last batch from factory and I sold them for only RM388. I sold 70 sets. Even when I wanted more after that, it was totally not in production anymore.
These deals come from time to time. However, when a model has phased out and you still see people selling them a couple of years later with plenty of replenishing stocks, you have to be very wary if these are real genuine items or just riding off its popularity.
Anyway, it is ultimately your choice.
