Where to find bargains or items on specials when you have time to spare?
I am sure everyone will go to the only 'well known' auction site to grab a quick bargain or hard-to-find items. I have never had a different answer when I have a chat with my friends about getting a good deal. "Go to Eb** and they have plenty of good deals and I am sure you will find yourself a bargain..."
Most of the time, the item for sale/auction start with a low price and if no one bids, you will be laughing and getting an item below the recommended retail price. However when there are more than 1 bidders and if one of them gets carried away with the bidding process, the auction price can easily shoot up like a rocket. I have seen prices of auction items doubled the normal recommend price. Bidders seem to lose track of control and reality when bidding. Stayed calm and mindful when bidding.
For the normal cool headed individuals that are not sucked in by the low starting price. Here are a few pointers to get a good bargain on auction/online shopping sites :-
* Know the recommended retail price;
* Set a limit when bidding, do not go over the recommend retail price(RRP);
* Search the auction site and/or using your popular search engine, search other online shops to see if you can get a better deal;
* Enjoy yourself and do not stress when you are out bided. There are always better deals.
Buying(bidding) on auction sites can be more expensive if you are not careful. Always know your limits and do not go over them. Most important of all, do not look back when you bought something more expensive than the RRP, enjoy the item and look forward to your next purchase. Hopefully, with the lesson learnt, a real bargain is just around the virtual corner.
Happy hunting for your next bargain.
Cheers,
