Top Ways to Save Money on Gadgets 3




Buy used gear--locally.

Again, if used isn't an issue for you, then hit up Craigslist and make your request known. We say Craigslist instead of, say, eBay, because when buying electronics sight unseen, there may be ghosts in the machine you'll never be aware of unless you try the product out first. In other words, always try before you buy. Since Craigslist allows you to establish a direct relationship with the seller, it lessens the chances you'll get a lemon, and means they know that you know how to get in touch with them if you do. That said, don't believe everything you read on Craigslist, and make sure to read these tips on avoiding getting scammed.
