>>> Ebay I am skeptical since either shipping is high or sometimes in the bidding war the price gets too high. You actually spend time trying to OUTBID someone on eBay?
Don't do that!I either buy it with a great "
buy it now" or I use one of the many "slamming" sites-
www.bidslammer.com . They will bid for me on the last 5 seconds of any bid and charge me about 50 cents to a dollar for the service! They even offer group bids. Say I want to bid on a Dell laptop- I'll list 10 of them and then put down rediculous bids. One after another will lose- but usually one does come through and bingo!
A WIN. The rest of the remaining laptop bids are put to rest.
Shipping costs are a problem sometimes, but you simply have to consider it in your overall bid consideration. Sometimes there isn't even a shipping charge, s.a. like the Sharp Aquos HDTV that I won. Occasionally I do use other sites, though-
www.ecost.com ,
www.amazon.com and
www.buy.com are 3 of my favorites due to their lack of shipping and great prices.
