Price Comparisons and Shopping Online
I recently traded in my aging cellphone (Motorola Razr V3) for a Blackberry Curve. The 'berry includes the capability of adding storage in the form of a "microSD" card and can handle capacities of 1GB to 8GB. Market wise, the 1GB and 2GB are the most prevalent, and there are a plethora of sources to purchase them. Imagine my surprise when comparing prices I found you can obtain a 2GB microSD card from Blackberry for a listed price of $59.99, while I could get the same thing (including shipping!!!) for $11.44.
Suppose you chose to get it through Verizon? $29 and change. That seemed a little more in line with my experience. I can usually save about 50% off the easy sources. I rarely find an example like the Blackberry Store, but it does show that a little effort can be well worth it. My source is a tried and true vendor that I regularly refer my customers to when they're looking to buy these kinds of products.
When shopping online, I recommend checking the seller's reputation by visiting ResellerRatings.com. You'll find other customer's experiences and get a good idea about how they conduct business. I rarely will purchase from a vendor that doesn't show up on this site and thereby avoid needless headaches. Check them out!
Wrapping up.....If you're in the market for a 1 or 2GB microSD card, let me know! I might be able to make some money helping you save some!!
