What about clearing inventory? For example, a computer that is a year old selling at a reduced rate because it is a year old. It is still highly functional and has no defects [or is just as likey as any other computer]. For 98% of the populations computing needs it will be more than adequate. Why pay more for a non-sale comnputer? Arguably this could fall into the speed [need to sell it before it gets too old] or ignorance [ingnorance to the size of the market] categories. However that would seem to make many, if not most, sales a good deal [two more examples: running shoes and cars]. Maybe you should rethink it along the lines of "always look for sales, but then check for product reviews to make sure the sales item isnt poorly made" or "dont get suckered into buying this years model for full price when you can buy a perfectly good version of last year's for half the price"?
