Mrs. Mecomber's Scrapbook Talking technology, computers, and the Internet… for the average computer user

Maybe the time has finally come. To get an iPod. I am the kind of shopper who totally AVOIDS the mad rush to pay one year’s wages for the latest technology. (Plus, I hate standing in lines!). SO I watched with slight amusement and disgust when the craze for the high-priced iPod rose. I’d much, much rather take these things cautiously– wait and see how technology develops, wait for prices to go down, and wait for the others to work out the bugs! I’m a cautious buyer and I usually research things well before taking the plunge. I checked out iPods a few months ago, and while the prices had gone down at my local retailer, I thought they were still pretty high. Plus, I still new very little about the gadgets (I’m a PC user, still, but hopefully things will change in the future).

Anyway! If you are like me and have been on the prowl for better deals on iPods, maybe you’d be interested in Shopobot.com. Cute name, eh? They are like a mini iPod search engine– the webpage shows a selection of new and used iPods, listing the features in an organized way so you can choose what’s right for you (the ones I saw were all at Amazon). You can check out their page for iPod Prices here. It features new and used iPods. There’s also some handy buying guides, and other social media options. I took a deeper peek into the website, and Shopobot also features buying guides and listings for other stuff, including books, Canon DSLRs, gaming consoles, and other electronics. A nice buying guide site, check it out.
