Hands down, one of the best places to get tech gear is Buy.com. I’ve shopped around a lot, and I think Buy.com has the best prices and the most reliable brands. I’ve seen a sharp rise in costs at the other tech stores, but Buy.com has been offering sale upon sale. And their customer service is excellent. Not to mention, they have some really cute viral videos with Howie Mandell these days.
And I finally found a good price on an SD card for my camcorder– the Kingston 8GB 120minute Class 4 SD card, a steal for about $20. If you buy SD cards, make sure they have a high write speed (no cheapos!) because the high speed SD cards write your photos and video faster to the memory card. Class 4 is a good write speed (4 MB/s-26x) for digital cameras and camcorders. If you use a cheapo, you will have a delay and/or a severe diminishing of quality. I only use the higher grade, higher-speed SD cards now. The difference is noticeable. High-speed SD cards tend to be a little pricey (like $40), so finding one of this size (8GB) at under $20 is a real steal, believe me. And Kingston is a reliable brand.
OK, so more deals? Here are more goodies I’ve found at their weekly deals page. (By the way, it is helpful to check out their weekly sale page once a week to keep tabs on prices.) Hot deals that I liked:
- Acer Aspire netbook with Intel Atom processor, 160GB hard drive, Windows XP (it’s gorgeous)
- Western Digital 500GB portable hard drive $120
- Imation Apollo 250GB portable hard drive $60
- Motorola H695 Bluetooth Headset $24
- D-Link EBR-2310 Ethernet Broadband Router $22!! (I have got to get a new one, my old Westell is ailing)
And there’s a lot more stuff to be found. Of course, Buy.com has loads of stuff for everyone: jewelry, games, books, apparel, baby items, etc. But I like to shop the electronics stuff (wonder why, huh!) and they have good prices and free shipping on qualifying orders, too. They are a very reliable company with a history of great customer service. I recommend them!

I am never getting another rug at my local retailer again. :-p
I do, however, wear eyeglasses. And the ones I have right now are several years old. I have to get a replacement, and since I’ll be paying out of pocket, guess what I’m going to do?
