Exactly. Anyone who manages to get a financial benefit from a modern 'sale' is usually someone who has a preplanned necessary purchase they have delayed until they can get 5-10% off it, not someone just browsing on the off chance who miraculously finds a 50% discount on a discretional booking. It used to happen like that, but not any more.
