Review of ahappydeal.com

Some thoughts and tips on ahappydeal.com I have bought 2 things from ahappydeal.com. One costing 1.5$ the other costing 21 (plus shipping). This online merchant is similar to dealextreme.com however ahappydeal.com offers "free" shipping on limited items. Ahappydeal though offers 6% discount with every purchase using an appropriate coupon code, which can easily be found online. What is more, it offers some sort of point rewards with each dollar spend equaling a point. According to their description,

however there is an interesting thing going on with these points. And crunching a bit the numbers as seen at the following graph:

it seems that the best value for the points gained, is to spend them at 25DM increments. Hence it makes more sense to do lots of small purchases (including free shipping) rather than a big one to redeem more points. So go out there and shop and redeem your points!

Ebay buying tips

When buying stuff on Ebay especially stuff sold from Asian countries, is best to look for the needed stuff in more than one Ebay site. For example look for the same part in both Ebay.co.uk and Ebay.com.
Most times Ebay.com has returned better priced objects than the same objects priced in Ebay.co.uk.
Plus one could gain a little from favorable the exchange rates as well.

EBAY purchases tip

A piece of advice to all EBAY buyers.

When you buy stuff from international sellers, especially from Asia, always, ALWAYS check if they sell the same item in a different ebay. For example, ebay.co.uk, ebay.com, ebay.de cause sometimes, just sometimes the different currency works in favor of the buyer saving a few to spend later.
