The secret to buying cheap technology products

With technology, choosing the right time to buy will definitely save you a significant amount.

As a veteran tech hunter, Mr. Nguyen Trung Duc, in charge of Baokim.vn payment gateway, shared his experiences to help consumers buy products at the most reasonable prices.

According to Mr. Duc, like some other products, the price of technology products is also under the influence of the selling time. Therefore, choosing the right time to buy will definitely save you a significant amount.

Choose the right time

One of the golden times is when genuine products are about to be officially distributed in the market. At this time, portable goods tend to reduce prices to compete with genuine products, because now the price difference between genuine and portable goods has decreased a lot. For example, the item iPhone 4 first appeared in Vietnam in June 2011, when the price of an international version was over 2,000 USD (over 40 million VND). A month later, the heat gradually decreased and the price was only about VND 20 million. After that, the price of this mobile phone dropped sharply in September 2011, only a few days before operators announced the package and officially distributed iPhone 4 in Vietnam. At that time, an international 16GB iPhone 4 was at 15.4 million dong, while the 32GB version was only 17.6 million dong.

Another time that technology prices tend to cool down is when the manufacturer prepares the eye for the new version or before the product stops producing. According to some technology shop owners, this is the time when product prices have fallen to the lowest. When new high-end products are released, manufacturers tend to reduce the price of old products to increase sales and avoid inventory. Take, for example, the iPad tablet at the time of the upcoming iPad 2. The first iPad version has continuously dropped by 2-3 million due to the release of the new version. In addition, the iPad's direct competitor, Samsung Galaxy Tab, also launched a stimulus program by reducing prices, in addition to Apple itself reducing prices directly on the website, helping consumers benefit from the downward trend. This price and many attractive options.

And how to "hunt" goods online

However, not everyone is patient enough to wait until these times, because many items still hold prices for quite a long time. For technology lovers, the best way to quickly get cheap goods is to hunt online.

Therefore, users can buy technology goods at bargain prices in classifieds, forums for technology people like handheld, tinhte, diendantinhoc . The products sold on the forum are very rich, owners. weak is portable, no showroom or used, so much cheaper than buying at the store. Users can find many unique products here, because some unpublished products in Vietnam were quickly sold online by portable members dripping from abroad.

Besides, to buy cheap, users can also participate in auctions, with the selling price is always much lower and is quality goods. However, this way of buying is not easy. You have to sit around for hours, and sometimes it takes place at a time when you don't have time to participate. In addition, you must have some experience and know the time to win the auction, because many people bid on the same item.

Users can also buy used items (secondhand) but still quite new and good quality. Since the members of the forum are usually hobbyists who follow new technology, they are ready to sell the products they have at the price to buy the new version immediately. But it should be noted that buying in forums or classifieds is not the best option, because safety is not high. Users may face risks such as buying counterfeit goods, faulty goods, damaged goods or may be replaced by some poor quality equipment and then for sale.

The safest option is to find websites that regularly offer discounted programs. Many businesses are interested in investing in online advertising and sales channels to increase brand awareness and increase sales.
