Helpful Links for Online Shoppers

[reford]

With the publicity that DOD's getting from the Black Friday controversy, we're probably going to see some new faces around here...and though the users here are great about helping folks find deals, I thought it might be a good idea to share some links so that folks can do some of their own legwork if they want. So, here are some other websites that can help you out in your search for bargains. I hope some other users here will add to this list with some of their own favorite sites as well.


[Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] - Book price comparisons. Includes shipping, tax, and availability.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] - DVD price comparisons. Includes shipping, tax, promotions, and vendor ratings.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] - Price comparisons on books, DVDs, video games, and board games. Includes shipping and tax.

Various shopbots - Price comparisons on almost anything. Because different shopbots search different merchants, you'll definitely want to try more than one: [Only registered and activated users can see links.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] - Shopbot and online merchant ratings. Be aware that the smiley system they've recently implemented doesn't give you enough information to decide whether a merchant is reliable -- check out the percentages and read some customer reviews before you buy.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] - Customer reviews of specific products as well as online merchants. I give this one more weight than the bizrate ratings, personally.

Lists of sites offering free shipping (may require a code, use of a specific link to the site, or a minimum purchase): [Only registered and activated users can see links.

I hope this list will help direct some of our new visitors to resources that can help them find the bargains they're looking for. But if you still need help, there are some of us with too much time on our hands who would be willing to lend our shopping expertise to help you find a deal!

p.s. Hope my fellow DODers will help add to my list...am sure there are helpful sites I'm forgetting about!
