What do you consider a real sale?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I’m thinking about getting a new laptop (HP Pavilion g6x) but I’m in no rush and I’m willing to wait for a sale.

The current online price is $500. If HP knocks $10 off the price, even I know that’s not a sale. And since this model came out last March I don’t really expect to see “75% off” anytime soon. So my question for you folks is: where does “a real sale” start – 10 percent off? 20 percent off?

40% off? My work laptop, a Lenovo, is about a year old and now listed 50% off, $300 from $600.

IMO a minimum of 25% off the original price (not any % off an inflated-just-before-the-sale-price)

Opinions. You want opinions? Moving this from GQ to IMHO.
