Serious stage of a buying decision for me is normally 2-3 months of research so he must be getting close. The notional stage can be much longer as that involves justification of an idea and trying to justify the cost but not a lot of detailed research.
For some folks an impulse buy is something that they due on the spur of the moment. For others an impulse buy is something bought in less than a month or two from first seen or thought about to owning it. Of course as the price goes up the length of time to fit within the definition expands as well.
Now I know that for some folks that either have loads of money or view money much differently than others don't see it the same. Isn't diversity of ideas and methods grand?
My wife doesn't distinguish between these various types/stages of buying. She just buys.
