Using For Sale Forums to Get the Gadget You Want at a Low Price
Two days ago, The Smart PDA featured an article posted on GideonTech outlining their "Top 10 Ways to Save Money on Gadgets." Regular readers of this blog already know "For salelinks Forums" is listed as #1.

The funny thing is, after typing up that post, I got an SMS from my friend, Sasha Manuel of Tops 2 Bottoms. She was using her mom's old 3310 to text me, since her Nokia 7650 had finally died after three years of faithful service. She was of course, looking for a new phone, and was wondering where to get a RAZR for a low price.

Google led to me to a great deal in Friendster's For Sale Forums. Someone was selling a black RAZR V3 for only Php 6,800.00 (Approx. $136)! Keep in mind that here in the Philippines, the RAZR retails for around Php 15,000 (Approx. $300), and no telecom subsidizes it.

I forwarded the deal to Sasha, and a few hours later, she was the proud owner of a RAZR! Thus I learned first hand how effective for sale forums can be, and how GideonTech was right on the money (pun intended). Ms. Manuel was able to save over 50%, thanks to my few minutes of surfing the web.
