August 28th, 2009

Slacker 4GB Wi-Fi Portable Radio Player w/ 25 Stations, Black

Retail Price: $249.99
Sale     Price: $49.99

I’ve been looking at these things for a year or so, and they seemed so freaking cool. The only problem being that they wanted a relative fortune for them, when normal MP3 players could be purchased for dirt cheap. For a very short time I imagine, that has changed.

If you haven’t been looking into these, they are basically the same as  a normal mp3 player, except for one thing. Instead of spending HOURS buying, ripping, finding, and loading songs, then repeating every few weeks when it feels stale…. Slacker will automatically choose and download songs that you will like. With wifi, you only need to plug it in to charge it. It intelligently decides what songs to download based on what artists/songs you have told it you liked or didn’t like while you were listening. The more you listen, the more accurate it tunes to your exact taste.

I can now be a complete slacker, and never reload my mp3 player again! Hurry up before Buy.com says it was a typeo!

20% Off RoboForm Pro! Perfect For Back to School Shopping.

August 24th, 2009

During this hectic time. While everybody else is frantically buying, packing, and getting ready for school the slow way… I would like to remind everybody why everyone should use the coupon code NEVR1 on RoboForm’s website to get 20% off on RoboForm immediately!

To start off, if you’re like me, you’re probably subscribed to dozens of store newsletters… that is, in addition to being an avid reader of my site for the select deals I think deserve being posted. I don’t know if you noticed …but my email has been blowing up with a mass of back to school sales lately.

Most of it is trash that you really don’t even want; however the one or two really nice deals are usually gone before you get a chance to read them. So, using a form filling program like RoboForm may make the difference between catching, or missing the sale of a lifetime. You even get a discount from SiberSystems just for being a reader of our website.

When you go to RoboForm’s website, just enter the coupon code NEVR1 and you will receive 20% off your entire order. That can really add up if you’re a proud parent buying it for all your college-bound kids… you can even grab yourself a copy while you’re there!

The Art of Haggling 101 Part 2 – Find The Right Seller

July 25th, 2009

A few days ago we tried to help our readers a quick rundown on the lost art of haggling. Haggle 101 if you will. Unfortunately, we have very short attention spans over here OOH STRING!!! What was I saying? Oh yea, we simply couldn’t fit enough information into the last article so here we are with some more tips.

In our first article we mostly focused on renegotiating existing bills (cable, internet, phone) for the better. However, after a few days of calling your utilities, you invariably will be running out of things to do with your newly found bartering skills. So, as promised, this article will focus more on getting deals locally. If you read this post and have something to add, correct, have a better method, a suggestion to make something work better… or simply want to say thank you, please take the time to post it below.

Ok, I will start off by saying one thing, then contridicting myself. Just hear out my train of thought. First, It does not REALLY matter what store you go to, you can barter ANYWHERE. You can haggle at the supermarket, department store, high end mall shops, everywhere. With that said, those places are all much harder, not always guaranteed, so we’re going to take baby steps.

If you want the best chances of successfully haggling a better deal, start practicing at the high end/boutique stores.  Here are a couple reasons:

  1. These stores have the highest prices, but it might surprise you to know that they often pay the same or less than the ‘cheap’ stores. What that means to you, is that they have the largest margin to play with IF they want to. The larger their margin, the farther they can drop the price and still make a profit.
  2. Because of their higher prices, they are less crowded, and will be more apt to make a smaller profit if they believe you are/will be a valuable return customer. If you happen to be in the service industry related to the product they sell, this is a good thing to stress. For instance, if you repair computers, or you install car stereos and they sell amps and subwoofers… your referral to purchase parts at their store holds a lot of weight to your customers.
  3. They are usually privately owned. There is a good chance that if the manager isn’t related to the owner, they still carry REAL power in the store to mostly do whatever they want. Along the same lines, you may want to go during ‘normal’ business hours. The main manager will often leave at 5, even if the store is open longer; they are also hard to catch on weekends. If you go outside these hours, you will be left with employees only, or a night manager with significantly less power (even if they claim otherwise).
  4. High end boutique stores often sell wholesale to other local businesses. They do this so that they have more ‘buying power’ when they negotiate rates when THEY buy. Because of these wholesale deals that the stores make on an every day basis, their computers are already set up for discounting equipment/products for whatever reason they want. In some cases meager employees are capable of dropping the price 10% or more. Managers in these stores have even more discounting power.

After reading these reasons you probably have a store or two in mind already, feel free to post them below. If not, start thinking. Next week I’ll post part 3, and you’ll need to at least have an idea of what store you will be practicing on.

Just to get the ball rolling, I have had good experience at Guitar Center, and the now defunct Sound Advice/Tweeter chains. However my best experience has always been with locally owned businesses where the manager on site IS the owner.

Is the art of haggling making a comeback?

July 22nd, 2009

“What are you doing!? You’re not about to pay retail for that… are you?”

“Did you expect me to argue with the guy???  … I’m not cheap you know!!”

 

You may recognise or perhaps you have been in the above conversation. Chances are the people who refuse to haggle are the same people who happily clip coupons, or read through the sale flyers first thing sunday morning. Ask yourself, is negotiating a 5-10% discount any difference than saving a 10% off coupon for weeks or more until “one day when you need it?”

I would also like to dispell the myth that “not being cheap” has anything to do with being ripped off for something. Depending on where you are shopping, this may actually be commonplace already. It’s just that you never asked, so nobody ever told you.  

If this sounds interesting at all, you should probably check this article at pcworld posted today. The author “mark” called his cable company with the complaint that he (as a loyal customer) was paying more than new customers. In my book, this means he was being ripped off, paying nearly three times what he should. I have done something similar a number of times in the past, and it usually works beautifully.

I won’t go into too much detail, because then you wont read the article, and it gives you a play-by-play of his whole conversation which is quite useful. What I will tell you, is that missing out on promotions is all too common for people who don’t speak up.

Tips:

  1. Be polite but firm. You know what you want, now get it!
  2. First contact customer support. Then speak to a manager. If you followed tip 1 you will get an ACTUAL manager rather than the buddy of the first rep.
  3. Stress the point that you have been a loyal, and repeat customer (you are, aren’t you?). You would really like to continue service/purchasing, but their price is simply too high. If one is available, mention a competitor who has a lower price, even if the service is not quite as good (within reason).
  4. If the manager is unable to help, ask for the retentions department and repeat with a manager if necessary (if they do not have a retentions department, ask for cancellations, then double check). If you notice in his log, they transferred his call/chat to ‘another department.’ This was likely a rep in the retentions department.
  5. Failing all of that… wash rinse repeat.

Many times one rep will be in a bad mood for one reason or whatever and won’t help, even though they can. Trying again doesn’t hurt… but if you don’t get something accomplished after once or twice, you’re better off calling their bluff and switching, or try again in a few months.

Asus 9.5hr 1000HE 10in 160GB Netbook $319.99 AR

June 10th, 2009

Hey guys, great deal I found. It is an initial $379.99 with a 30 dollar MIR from ZipZoomFly, which brings it to $349.99. There is also an additional $30 dollars of when you use their eBillMe service. When I checked, they were even giving free shipping!

With all that, the grand total for this netbook to only $319.99 after rebates.

I have been shopping around for a nice lightweight laptop for myself recently. This thing seems to be one of the best netbooks out there right now. It has a large enough screen and keyboard that you wont have to strain. Yet it is small and light enough to still be super-portable. It has builtin bluetooth and wireless N (most netbooks don’t) and a UNHEARD OF 9.5 hour battery rating.

Even if the fudged the numbers a little (don’t they all?)… that is going to be a hard claim to beat. It sounds so good, I just ordered one myself. You should hop on this deal, before they sell out!
