Buying at
Half.com
Half.com is a fantastic
resource for online buyers, especially now that you can find established
ebay merchants selling their wares there (ebay purchased Half.com a few
years back). You really can find incredibly low, dirt-cheap prices on
stuff: especially on books, DVDs and video games.
Bargains abound at Half.com
due to that fierce seller competition we mentioned... We have
routinely seen many great brand new DVDs listed for less than three
dollars, and unread, fresh books for under a buck. Be sure and check
the 'Bargain Bin' section for DVD deals! Scour the Half.com HOME
page for advertised deals on everything from DVD boxed sets, to desktop
computers under a hundred bucks. Deals and sub-category page links
update constantly.
The current product
categories on the Half.com home page are: Books, Textbooks, Music,
DVDs/Movies, Video Games, Computers & Software, Electronics, and
'Everything Else'. !
At half.com, If you are
looking for a well known consumer product, there will be plenty of price
levels and conditions to choose from- trust us! Sellers clamor all
over one another to undercut each other on price, so they can see their
item advertised at the top of the list for that product grade.
The best part about this is,
it gives you the buyer the ability to select from a wide variety of
conditions and prices of the particular item you are looking for, with no
haggling or bidding- the price is spelled out right there for you in black
and white. Each product page lists all variations of the item you
want, in the following grades: 'Brand New', 'Like New', 'Very Good',
'Good', and 'Acceptable'.
So, if you are looking for a
beat-up, dog-eared, used copy of a techno-thriller or romance novel
paperback to read for yourself for under a buck- no problem. But
let's say you want to give a gift of a Harry Potter DVD or X-BOX video
game to your nephew, that is still in pristine, brand new, factory sealed
condition- again, no problem. It's all there to pick and choose from
on the product page. Just type in a search on the home page and go.
You can also select your
favored shipping method before you buy, by just choosing the listing
that's right for you- if you are in a hurry, and don't want your purchase
shipped media mail (most Half.com sellers users use this method) a new
site feature allows you to 'upgrade' your shipping with many Half.com
merchants.
Again, all these features
are listed in a 'side by side' comparison manner- and of course, like
ebay, when you find a favorite seller, you can just go visit their product
line once you have saved that merchant in your 'my favorite' sellers area.
As an online bargain hunter
and seller, what could be better?
Caution:
Remember that your ebay & Half.com feedback are now part of the same
database, so bear in mind- your user behavior at one site will definitely
affect your ratings at the other!
