Buying


1. Mail-in rebates: A pain to deal with or worth the wait to get money back? Worth the wait in most cases.

2. Warranties: Take a chance without them or a must have when buying high-priced items? Must have on electronics, take a chance on most other things.

3. Product knowledge: Research before you buy or rely on salesperson? Research!!!

4. Word of mouth: Base purchases on what your friends say or disregard because you know what you are doing? Most of the time I have an idea what I want, and as with # 3 I research big stuff. Although, even for little stuff I go with my gut.

5. New Versions: Must buy the latest version right away or wait for a while? Wait until the kinks are worked out and the price has dropped significantly.
