So, I thought I'd share the nuggets of gold I've found in the dredge of the net--to save you some time and to try and get all the really good links in ONE SPOT. Also, I'm going to tackle a discussion of some different buying tools, programs, and strategies. Some are simple, some a little more involved. But, I think they are worth knowing, and therefore, worth writing about to my fellow laptop seekers.
First, I'll list 3 of my favorite links that work with a large number of different stores. These are cash-back, coupon, rebate sites that make good portals to the great online mall called the internet. I like to use them with eBay, but that is only one of zillions of uses--any product, any store. I highly recommend checking them out.
I've been shopping like crazy through these other links, and they really are saving me good money.
P.S. These are the same links people are selling in some of the ads you may have seen on eBay.
Buyer gets 36% of seller's fees on eBay and cashback and coupons galore at lots of stores
$5.00 plus 1-3% of winning bid price, and cashback and coupons galore at lots of stores
Some of these can be stacked and combined, so it pays to use them all together (some work with Bing and eBay Bucks, too). Happy shopping!
As you can tell, I do like eBay. There are other markets and other deals, though, and the next program works with lots of them. It is a cashback program through Microsoft called Bing Cashback. Follow the link below to sign up. It can save you lots of money, too.
Bing Info and Sign Up
Finally, please note that many of these programs actually stack with each other. So, if you get a 20% off coupon at ebates, get 8% cashback with Bing, 3% with Mr.Rebates, and 5% with Big Crumbs, you could find yourself really racking up the discounts. This is just a for-instance, but it is not at all inconceivable.
That finishes up the program post for now. Next, I'll add the best store links, so you can put these programs to work saving you big bucks on your laptop (or any other) purchase.
