Best PS3 Prices
Searching for a PS3 on sale can be a daunting task. The demand is keeping the price high. It can be annoying if you only have a set amount of money to work with and it’s not quite enough to make the purchase.
I know how you feel! I have tried to justify the item in so many ways for so long. I figured I could sell all my old PS2 games and console and start building a PS3 fund. I’ve given serious thought to cleaning out my closet, trying to find some of those old jeans that now seem to be in fashion and see if I could sell them on eBay. I’ve even gone through my garage looking for tools that I don’t use to sell them online. I even once had a garage sale to sell all my old junk so I could fund the purchase of the PS3. It netted me $52. By the way, garage sales will not get you the most money! I definitely recommend auctioning your old stuff off on eBay, you’ll make much more money.
You see, I’ve felt the same way before. With all the available accessories, games and hi-tech features you really get more bang for your buck with the PS3. The fact that it is Blu-Ray is a huge selling point for me. Not only are all the games HD but now my movies are too. Good luck getting that point past the wife! Truthfully, once I got my wife hooked on Hi-Def TV we’ve never looked back. I had won her over on every point exept the price.
I’ve done some research and what I’ve found is that if you want the best gaming console on the market and you want to play Blu-Ray DVDs there simply isn’t a better value than the PS3. Even when it’s not on sale! The average Blu-Ray player will cost you $200-$250 but it doesn’t play games. Unfortunately for Microsoft, HD-DVD was not the chosen format going forward and this will ultimately hurt their sales. The real issue is getting a PS3, if at all possible, at a discount.
I searched on eBay and some other traditional auction sites and found that there really aren’t any PS3 Sale Prices out there. The value may be there but the overall cost is higher because of all the stuff they include. When I’m trying to spend as little money as possible this just doesn’t work for me.
Ultimately, I had to think outside the box. Somebody told me about unique bid auction sites and I started researching them. For my money there is simply no comparison to www.auctions4acause.com. They have much more selection among everyday items than most of the other sites including the PS3. The majority of the other sites like it zero in on really expensive things like cars, land and motorcycles. You can pretty it up all you want but I just want the PS3!
Once I found that site I knew I had what I was looking for. They had the item I wanted and it was possible for me to get it very cheap. I visited the site and setup an account. I placed 3 bids and hoped that they were unique and the lowest. Wouldn’t you know it, I didn’t win the first time. It was another couple of days before another one came up for auction. I placed a few more bids and slept well that night. Bingo! This time I had a winner. 1 week later I was unboxing my new PS3. All told I had bid less than $59.64. Not too shabby, huh?
It can take a few minutes of reading to truly grasp the concept of the lowest unique bid auction style. But once you get it, it can be addicting. Since that time that I won the PS3 I’ve bid on and won 3 other items including an iPod Nano (they have the best iPod Prices) and $400 gas card. In total I’ve spent about $350 there and won over $1,200 worth of stuff.
