All of us buy electronics of some sort, and if we're not careful, we can really get ripped off. But if you are patient and know where to look, you can save some serious cash. Here are a few steps to follow when buying electronics to ensure you get a great deal:
1. Be Patient! If you don't need that new TV, blazing computer, awesome video game, or 64 GB iPod today, then wait -- I assure you the deal will find you.
2. If possible, buy slightly older generations. The difference in price between the top-of-the-line latest and greatest electronics, and the previous generation is enormous. On the contrary, the difference in the performance is generally minimal.
3. Compare to other sites (like Amazon). Before I ever buy a electronics, I always search for the same item on Amazon or shopping.google.com and make sure the price that I am given is reasonable.
4. Check these sites! I usually check them a couple times a day.

www.woot.com
www.yugster.com
www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/
www.newegg.com/
Note:
I usually try to avoid refurbished electronics. Sometimes you will strike a great deal, and the product will turn out well, but for me, the refurbished electronics are a bit too risky.
