Save money buying online - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Use http://shopping.yahoo.com

Yahoo searches for wholesale online stores and can save you a ton of money.

Here are some price drops that I found (trying to find a lower price for some car audio equipment)

1600-watt Sony XPLOD Class-D amplifier
ESRP: $349.95
Yahoo: $146.99

1500-watt (max) Sony XPLOD 500-watt RMS Subwoofer
ESRP: $279.95
Yahoo: $94.90

5.25" Sony XPLOD 3-way 170-watt speaker
ESRP: $89.95
Yahoo: $49.99

If I were to purchase 1 subwoofer, 1 amplifier, 4 speakers (my car has four 5.25" speakers), I would save $547.76

Good deal, eh?

Well who really pays ESRP nowadays. When they say you save that much money, it's making a big assumption on that ESRP. It would be nice if they use other store prices....

Well, the price may be a little lower than ESRP if you go to Best Buy, Circuit City, Ultimate Electronics, etc.

The point is by using sites that buy wholesale you can save loads of money. It's amazing how low you can go once you cut out advertising, store fees (employees, buildings, etc.) and only sell online.
