2nd Gen Stuff. (Score 1)

Let's keep this short and sweet.

There is nothing wrong with buying things many times throughout the year.
But keep these few things in mind.

1. Never buy anything (tech related or not) first generation. They invariably fix bugs, both big and small with the second generation. second generation items are still very popular and more fairly priced.

2. Always check online before buying in the store. I have found brand new items 25% to 40% cheaper online then buying them in the store at the same time.

3. Never buy during the holidays. Commerce rule #1: Charge what the market will bare. Meaning as long as people keep aying that price, they will continue to charge that much. Or when people stop buying because of price they will lower it until people start buying again.

4. Even if you do have the money, ask yourself two questions. Is this the best I can do?, and do I need this right now or can I wait a littel while?

If you remember these simple things you can almost never go wrong.
I waited two months and bought a $1200.00 switch for $300.00 dollars used. I got it and found out it was still under warranty.
