I Want To Buy A Garmin Nuvi Gps This Thanksgiving. Is It Better To Buy Online Or In Store?
where does one traditionally get a better deal?do online deals for black friday appear a day or two before or from this week itself?i am confused if i should go with current online deals or wait for in-store black friday deals?which stores are best to look for gps?thanks
The only thing you need to worry about is price — assuming the same GPS models are available to you in stores in your area (of course the biggest selection will be online).
This site lists 16 different models for sale for under $200: 12 new, 11 new, and 10 refurbished.
If you look around online enough, you will almost always find a better deal because online vendors do not have to pay for store space, customer service employees and stuff like that. When there’s no store front you can charge less, and since most deal in bulk, the prices are lowest.
Look to places like Amazon whose vendors often have free shipping. Of course, if a store has a special sale in your area on a model you want, go for it if the price is better. That takes a lot of shopping, waiting, and hoping though — it’s not really something to rely on, just an opportunity to jump on in the rare instance that it happens.
ANOTHER thing – ‘black Friday’ sales are often hyped even when the deals aren’t actually that good. They use tricks and hucksterism to barely legally put up huge numbers (50% OFF!) but read the fine print; they couldn’t stay in business if that were the case. The quieter online vendors often undercut the big noisy stores.
look to see which gives a better deal. my dad bought one for $100 but one on online that cost $126 had a $75 off deal. so start comparing right now and then buy
the best GPS deals are in the range of 75 to 125. check the deals guide
