Shopping smartly online

Whenever I decide to purchase an expensive gadget, first thing I do is read a lot of reviews about it. Not just from one huge site like Amazon but also from other popular blogs and technology sites.

I also do a search with the keywords being the gadget plus the word “problem” or “disappointed” to see if there are negative comments about it. I would like to know if there are recurring problems about the product, bugs or common issues and if I can live with those.

shopwikiFinally when I’m really decided on buying, I scour the net for the cheapest deal available. One site that could help me with getting the best bargain is ShopWiki. What’s good about this site from other price grabbing sites is that this one is not biased. Some similar sites are being paid by merchants to have their store shown more in the results and that would be counterproductive with what you’re doing.

So if you’re looking for the stores where you can get the cheapest Nikon digital camera, simply key in Nikon Digital Cameras in the search box to get prices from stores. All stores listed are in Australia but I’m hoping they would soon cater to US stores as well. 

Found an iPod Touch 16GB selling for only AUD419 (less than P13,000) with ShopWiki by the way.
