It looks for the point when the average discount is approaching a local maximum while inventory remains available.<\/p>\n<p>In practical terms, a buyer may have to choose between a stronger price opportunity and a broader selection. Those priorities do not always peak at the same time, so the most useful October window depends on the market and the buyer\u2019s flexibility.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div
