- harperlee 5y agoThese kind of manipulations are as old school as one can get. Here is a classic reference from 35 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influence:_Science_and_Practice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influence:_Science_and_Practic... Note that it covers tactics from door to door salesmen.
- sumtechguy 5y agoYou would be surprised how much of what you see today was pioneered in the early 1900s. If you want a real treat go lookup why we eat bacon for breakfast. Then consider that same guy revolutionized how things are sold. In this case they are using scarcity and a form of rushing the sale before the buyer realizes what they have done. There are plenty of scarce items. But usually if the seller is telling you they are scarce and you only have minutes to decide, ignore them. It is an old trick. It works very well on someone who feels they will be left out in some way.
