(SCROLL DOWN FOR LATEST DEALS)

Just a quick FYI - from time to time, the companies that we have done business with will send us some links to discounted goodies to pass along to you guys.

Sometimes they're lame, so they get deleted. Sometimes, they're awesome, so I post 'em up.

I haven't done price comparison on this stuff in a while, so those of you who are more "in the know" on electronics might be able to shed some light on whether these "deals" are any good:

I have a Fiji finepix 10mp and love it. I bet the 16mp looks awesome. For those interested, my 11 year old uses it a lot and is not easy on electronics so I would say they are pretty durable. that's a good deal even if it is refurbished.

Yea I was looking at the Fuji camera reviews and youtube videos. It looks pretty nice. I just want to see a moving video like a car driving fast or something like that.

Meh....I hate eCost. They screwed me a few years ago on something. Can't remember what. They won't stop sending me stupid emails so I have them go directly to my trash.

Weird. MacMall requires you to call on the phone if you want an iPad 2.

Some good deals, some not so much. I hope everyone's smart enough to compare pricing on at least 1 other site before buying

I've become hooked on Cowboom.com. Returns are easy, prices are reasonable, and items usually arrive in very good condition. Sometimes they goof up the order -- my 32GB 3G iPad lacked 3G, so they gave me $40 back.
I was happy to keep the 32GB Wifi one I received, so I asked for the $15 price difference between Wifi and 3G. They went above and beyond, giving me an additional $25 immediately refunded to my Paypal account.

The iPod I ordered was supposed to come with a USB cable and a pair of ear buds, but instead came with two USB cables. Those Apple USB dock cables cost $10-$18 new and the Apple ear buds suck, so I was very happy.

The Thinkpad R-series I ordered arrived with a broken screen so they emailed me a packing slip and quickly refunded my order.

So, for the most part, their errors have been in my favor.


Tip: Don't bother upgrading your shipping method. Whether you pay $18 for next-day or go with the free 7-day method, it all takes the same amount of time to arrive (3-4 days).



Woot, meanwhile, has been sucking. They lost their focus on electronics.
