Summer Yard Sale Shopping – Net Style

It’s hot and summer yard sales are a hassle. Getting up early, finding parking, dealing with old ladies in strange straw hats and ooo the smell of humanity on a hot summer day. But the lure of fantastic deals and bragging rites about your find sometimes makes it worth all the effort. Well no fear, the July web review is here. You can find great deals on the ‘net that put the yard sale prices to shame. Crank up the AC – crack open a cold one and bring on the deals. With prices this cheap, you will make ‘net yard sale shopping a year round event.

Woot!

http://www.woot.com

Got Woot! ? If you don’t you should. This Dallas based electronic discounter offers for sale one single item per day. One item you say? Yup just one item but at incredible savings. Recent offerings have included a 3-pack of USB game controllers for $15 and a wireless PCI Adaptor for $14. All items have a $5 shipping charge so you won’t be paying out the nose just to put your hands on your purchases. What makes Woot! so unique is the community feedback forum. Community members critique and review each Woot! offering in a somewhat sarcastic manner. While other forums may find community comments offensive, Woot thrives on them. Hot tip - Be sure to act fast if you see a Woot! that you want. Items are offered just once and in limited quantities. They sell out very fast, often within less than an hour. Bookmark this one, you will be checking Woot! on a regular basis.

Goodwill

http://www.shopgoodwill.com

Just like the store – only better. This is the crème de la crème of Goodwill items, the stuff that is too good to make it to the bargain table at the local store. Designer clothing, vintage decorative plates, knives, art, home décor and more, all at prices that would make any yard sale junkie swoon. The site is set up like any standard auction site, so you will need to create a user name and password to bid on items. A nice touch is the shipping cost calculator, giving you a close guestimate of the shipping costs you will pay. Although this is a bid site, many of the items go with only one or two bids on them so you have a lesser chance of being out bid in the last few moments. Like any auction site, items here change frequently and vary by season, so check back often.

Government Liquidation

Who has the most surplus stuff of anywhere on the planet? The US government of course. From computer parts to mobile electric power plants to clothing, sabers, housewares and audio visual equipment the US government has warehouses of items no longer in use housed in every state. Government Liquidation services over 2 million sq ft surplus goods on over 200 US military bases. Made to exacting government standards, items are no frills but hardy and functional. While this is an auctions site, it is organized with typical military efficiency. Items are organized by lot numbers with a preview period and open and closed time for bidding. Frequently items are in bulk offerings and you may need to have a pre-certified method of payment. Having said all that, the discounts here are enormous. Where else are you going to find tents and canteens for your scout troop or ever so trendy kaki jackets? The bonus here is that Liquidity Services is not just a US based company. They perform the same service for the UK Ministry of Defense. So no matter on which side of the pond you float your boat, you can always find on parts for it via your local army surplus center.

Stay cool and beat the heat- until next time.

Until next time.
