Are you looking for cheap laptops to buy from auction sites? Auction sites were the only place we can find lots and lots of cheap laptops. What's more?
These auction site keep coming with the latest laptop brand! Imagine you can buy a branded laptop with a cheap price, sure any laptop buyer will be so happy with it.
Those usd laptops are cheap, but actually, in reality there is some hidden reason for the laptop to be sold cheap by auction sellers. Main reason is because cheap laptops are used laptop and the original owner dont want to keep it anymore. Before you buy used, cheap laptops, here is my list of 7 buying guides from auction sites...
1. Set how much money you have and how much money you can afford to pay.
Find used laptops suitable with your personal budget and your personal needs. Ignore used laptop prices you cant afford. Try to find cheap laptop that offers feature you want.
2. Inspect laptop's specification list properly.
Dont be too excited because you've found a really cheap laptop you can afford to buy. Control your emotion and excitement - hyper excitement always lead us to do stupid mistakes.
Read the laptop's hardware specification carefully. Most important, look at its processor speed, processor's brand name, the year that laptop being produced, how long it has been used, the damages (if any) stated by seller. Take notice, there's a difference between the word "refurbised" and "used".
Refurbised laptops are damaged laptops, repaired then sold by the seller. Used laptops are laptops in good condition with zero damages. Keep that in mind. Some seller wrote "used laptops" but actually they sell a refurbished laptop.
3. Take all seller's contact details.
Does that seller can be trusted? Save seller's hanphone number, company detail, business ID, seller's email, website address, instant messaging address. Just in case something happen after you've paid money to get the laptop, you need to contact the seller urgently.
Proffesional seller and those serius sellers usually list down each contact detail for anyone to see. Aviod seller which only has personal email as the only contact details even he/she sells very cheap laptop. That kind of auction seller cant be trusted, she/may just want your money but will not send you the laptop you've paid for.
4. Read seller's previous customer testimonies.
Examine his ranking. Most auction sites prepare raking level to classify professionality of their seller, thus for customer's eye to judge. High ranked seller are the most trusted guys. You delivers good business with fast customer service, not just good.
5. Think before you buy.
Wait and compare you choice with another choice you found. Bookmark the laptop's page you have found so you can come back later. List down several laptop prices you stumbled upon and compare them. At least make 3 different choice.
6. What is the reason you buy used, cheap laptops?
Before buying, make sure you really know REASON you want to buy that laptop. Ask yourself, "For what i want to buy this laptop?" Choose a sold reason. You want to buy the laptop for you to do typing jobs, office works, student works, for entrtainment, for gaming, for mobile internet, or for starting a blogging business?
Our psychological reason helps us determine what laptop thet best for us, suits our need perfectly.
7. During process of buying.
There is two buying option - quick grab or buy via price bidding. Put your price, some amout of money you think you can afforf to buy it. Other buyer will do that also.
If you think you can afford to pay quick grab price, just buy the laptop. Click the "quick grab" button and contact the seller immediately via text messaging from your mobile phone, via your email, via contact box prepared by the auction site.
Show the seller you're serious buyer and desperately want to buy the laptop.
Post some comment in his customer testimony box saying "this seller is good, fast reply" for example. Make sure you contact the seller first before you gave out any comment. Wait within 12 hours. When the seller replied your message, your email, afther that is the best time for you to make payments.
When done, wait for your cheap laptop to arrive. While in that process, keep in touch with the seller for personal security.
Make friend with the seller, not just doing good business. You may want to buy another cheap laptop from the seller in the future.
If you choose to buy the laptop via "price bidding" you may wait for several hours until bid processed closed. Here, you will be in price fight with another buyer, who has the highest price and who has more money. This techniqu has several disadvantages. You have to wait and wil have to compete with another buyer who has more money than you.
Quick grab price option is the best. But, many people out there prefers bidding because they can get lower prices than the quick grab price. Just wait, bid and see the result.
