SAVE ON CAR RENTALS

April 8th 2011 10:29

There's a new site which will not only find you the
lowest price rental car available at your pick-up
location but also book the reservation for you.

And get this: if the price drops, or a better deal comes
up, between booking time and your pick-up,
AutoSlash.com will automatically rebook the lower
price for you.

The site automatically applies all available coupon
codes to your rental.

The only caveat, be aware of all those creative
ripoff taxes applied to your rental by airports,
states, counties, towns and any other cash-strapped
entity that wants a piece of the pie. They easily

add over US$10 per day to the rental price.

The taxing philosophy seems to be: soak the tourist
with taxes, they can't vote in our county.

SAVE ON VOUCHERS

February 11th 2011 22:21

Got some gift vouchers a friend gave you for products
or services you'll most likely never use? Looking for a
great money-saving voucher you will use?

Then check out a relatively new website: Lifesta.com.
These dudes buy and sell valid, legit vouchers for business
worldwide.

Groupon vouchers are being bought and sold at a brisk pace
on this site as well as one's from FTD florists and other
big time branded names.

Sellers pay a percentage of the face value to Lifesta
as a brokerage fee but buyers simply pay the current offering
price, say US$27 for a US$100 valid voucher.

Will the vouchers work at the cash register or online?
Lifesta says if they don't, your money is refunded.

This sire, might be worth a look-see or two.

YOUR PERSONAL NEGOTIATOR CAN SAVE YOU $$$

July 8th 2010 13:35

There's this guy in Boca Raton who is willing to negotiate
purchases on your behalf in exchange for half the money
he whittles down the salesperson for. You pay at the
conclusion of the deal.

Say for instance, you're in Best Buy checking out the latest
50 inch LCD television. You look at the price tag and try
to haggle for a better price with the flunkies working the
sales floor. Nice dice.

So you go to Allan Stark's website @ Negotiate4U.net and
make arrangements for him to deal with Best Buy on your
behalf. If he manages to save you bucks, you split the savings
with him.

Sounds fair enough. Negotiating is work after all. He'll
rattle the cable company's chains for you, deal with
cell phone providers, car dealers, or just about any other
legitimate business for that matter.

The Top Ten Ebay Bargains of 2007, Part Two

December 19th 2006 15:18

I called this series, The Top 10 Ebay Bargains of 2007 (in reviewing Fortunes top 10 in-demand toys) because all these items that are so expensive this year are almost all certain to be back on Ebay at relatively huge bargains.

Now, some are constantly upgrading every year. The toy companies depend on these people to make each year a better one than the last. They’ve got more than enough fools out there, don’t you be one of them

On the Hunt for a Laptop

November 17th 2006 06:53

In a few months, I’m going to buy a laptop. Consider this a trial run. The first step in the Bargain Hunt is to define what I need and my needs are simple. A computer that’s wi-fi capable and has basic word processing. I won’t be playing any game more complicated than Mine Sweeper.

The final thing I need to do is define my budget and I’ll set it as $450. Basically, what I need is a Windows computer with a 802.11 card. First thing I do is go to Ebay search for Laptops and then click on the Buy It Now tab and sort the items in price from lowest to highest. Now, you’ll get a string of people promising free laptops on a $5 bid or so. Just ignore those and look for the real machines. Now, you’ll want to skip ahead several pages because you’re going to get old junk that generally doesn’t work until you get above $100 or so. In the process of my search on Ebay, I eliminate several computers. One has an old battery that will likely fail. Others at this price are junk usable mainly for parts or repair. A $225 laptop from an Ebay seller with a 99.4% positive rating looks like a winner but a $249.99 laptop will do the job better. The $225 laptop has 128 MB of RAM, while the $249.99 has 256 MB of RAM. Both have Windows XP and while 128 MB is listed as a minimum requirement, a realistic computer tech. knows you can’t run XP at all on less than 256 with even decent performance

In Search of an Inexpensive Sgian Dubh

October 9th 2006 22:48

My wife’s kilt making company received an inquiry for a Sgian Dubh (pronounced Skeen Doo). Now, she sells kilts, but no accessories other than Flashes. The customer was looking for a decorative design for around $25.

A Sgian Dubh is a small dagger that clips on a kilt wearer’s kilt hose. Whenever I’m looking for something rare like that, I’m not going to bother with a retail site like Amazon or Walmart. I’ll start with Ebay
