Browsing Buy.com

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

You know, even believers need to shop for things every now and again, and we like saving money as much as anyone. One of the things I can’t stand is buying something and then finding out some other place had the same item on sale for less than what I spent. It’s frustrating, and it’s not being a good steward of one’s resources.

That’s why I like checking out places like Buy.com. They’ve got everything from soup to nuts and most stuff in between as well. And there are always specials; boy, are there specials! There are weekly sales, daily deals and more. It’s become a habit for me to just visit Buy.com any time I’m about to make a purchase, just to measure what kind of deal I’m getting.

iPod Touch 32 GBTake the Apple iPod Touch for instance. That’s the next MP3 player I want to own. I like it better than what I’m currently using because of the touchscreen interface, which is way less annoying that those spin-wheel controls on my current generic MP3 player.

Of course, I’ll want the 32GB version unless a larger-capacity unit becomes available between now and the time I buy. Because it’s all about storage for me; I have a lot of CDs, and what’s the point if I can’t get as many of them onto one player as possible? If I can’t I may as well stick with my current 6GB unit, right?

Buy.com is a great place to get one, too! First, they usually offer free shipping and handling, which is a terrific perk; you can’t find that on eBay very often (just as an example.) There’s not a lot of difference in pricing on an item like this, but with Buy.com you at least know you’re getting a new unit, not someone’s used one like on eBay.

Plus, the customer service and quality guarantee is solid. When looking for a place to buy online… it’s hard to beat Buy.com.
