I'm such a bargain hunter :D
« on: July 20, 2007, 08:20:36 pm »
Ok, so I'm at Best Buy, looking to get a new MP3 player, because my old one crapped out on me.  I'm looking to get one relatively cheap.  $40-$60 or so.

Now, I have always gotten really cheap mp3 players, ones that always break and stop working.  I have never considered getting one that's worth anything over $100. 

Until I see this one for $119:


I was like: "Oh well thats way too pricy"

Until I saw that it was normally for over $200.  $80 discount!  Probably the best deal I've ever gotten.

Thing is sweet, pics, videos, and music?  $80 off?  Count me in  :D

I haggled with an azn shopkeeper in china for a torch worth 150 yuan down to 40 and then i said if your not gonna sell it for any cheaper ill buy it at the shop down the aisle so he gave in an sold it too me for 25. Thats roughly 4 AU dollars and it was a 12 LED torch. I saw a 6 LED torch in Oz for about 45 dollars XD

Crazy good deal, especially for 4GB. Lucky *******.

Reduced or not, you just spent double what you wanted to.

I got a 1GB one for $60 CDN. Although it's a cheap one, so it doesn't even have a playlist feature or arranging the songs by artist, etc. :( Whatever, at least it plays music.

How big is the screen?

Cause it doesn't look like a very big screen to watch videos :P
