Do you like gadgets but do not like their inflated prices? Would you love to purchase some of these awesome devices but can not find the extra money in your budget?




We have some great tips to finding the best price for the devices that you want to buy!

The First tip we have for you is time, take the time and search multiple sites and avenues of purchasing the gadget you want. 

First place to check is the sale or clearance section of the original website that has the device you want.
When you think you found a good price, take your search to amazon.com. Amazon is a great avenue to purchase gadgets, just type in the device you are looking for and 8 times out of 10 it will show up in the search results. 

Compare the price if you locate the device on Amazon. If you are just a gadget hunter there are other avenues that you can pursue to find gadgets to buy. A great store that has great prices for gadgets is Winners. You might not find everything you want in there all the time, but when you do it is usually a score and you get a price that you can fist pump after the purchase.
Buying gadgets used is another option, but this one takes a lot more research and you need to know what you are buying or else you could be swindled.
These are a couple tips on different places to check for great gadgets at ridiculous prices.

A Happy Story that began with a few neat gadgets

The first real moment of true happiness in my life was when I got the Nintendo Entertainment System as a 4-year-old child. My parents and I were visiting family in Chicago when a box holding the newest technology was given to me and met with pure joy.

That began my love affair with gadgets and technology. You see, when I got a bit older I was into spy gadgets like the "Talk Boy" from Home Alone 2 and invisible ink.

From there I got older and more mature so I started looking into TVs, game consoles and cell phones. As my first real purchase with my own money I naturally went for the PlayStation so I could keep up with all my friends. After that, video games were a way to bond with other people and spark common interests.

As an adult, slowly progressing out of hardcore gaming (sigh) cell phones replaced the spy gadgets of years past. I will never forget standing in line at the Apple Store in New York City waiting to get my hands on the iPhone. I couldn’t wait to get home and have it unlocked so I could show off the pinnacle of the newest technology. I can safely say it all began with a few neat gadgets, and the passion will probably never go away.

The Electric Super-sedan – Tesla Model S.

 Do you want a car that is as interactive and cool as the newest smart phone…The car equivalent of an IPhone..the IPhone car? There is a Gadget carin the market now that will allow you to express yourself as the tech savvy individual you are.

The Tesla Model S is the most extreme car that has come out in the last couple years. The Tesla Electric car is a 4 door ($77 800 - $129 000) Electric super car, it does 0-62 in 4.4 seconds, and if you lay of the petal and drive the car at a reasonable rate, they project your electric juice to last you for 400+ km on one full charge.

At the end of the day all you have to do is plug the c
ar into a 210w outlet and let it charge back up (0 to 100% in 8 hours). In Canada we have not yet received the super stations yet that will speed up charging time too 30 mins for a full charge, once these stations come into play the company predicts a huge jump in sales.

When it comes to the cars gadgets the list goes on and on. The Model S has a brain in the shape of a 17” touch screen, centered on the dashboard for easy access for both the driver and passenger in the front seat. This display controls almost everything on the car. There are multiple functions that the driver can pick through and also different viewing options with split screen views and also full screen capability. The GPS in the car is very cool and works very well, it is a pleasure to use, mainly due to the fact it is on such a big screen. The car comes with an amazing stereo system and also instead of XM radio it comes with 3G capabilities so you can stream any songs that you want to listen too. Also there is a vehicle settings page, back up camera, internet search, and phone all controlled on the touchscreen.

This car is truly amazing and is showing us the directions that the top auto manufactures have to take if they want to keep up with the technology of these new cars.

Who will make the next electric super-sedan?

Santa, but more importantly us, have all the Gadget Style you can handle for the holidays!

 Ho, Ho, Ho! Nah, I’m just kidding. We all know this time is stressful and always lightens the wallet so for this post we are going to give you some tips for cool gadget gifts you can treat yourself to for a job well done.

Keeping with the holiday theme and our favorite tale: A Christmas Carol. We tip off to you three must have gadgets from the past, present, and future. Feast your eyes on that, Tiny Tim.

Past: Ok so we cheated a little bit. Its not exactly old but the Olympus Pen E-P3 Digital SLR (hyperlink) looks straight out of the 1950s! Definitely does not lack gadget style with a design almost identical to the 50s model but offers all of the conveniences of modern photography. (At a premium: $899)

Present: How about the latest cool gadget gifts? If you are anything like us you definitely played video games growing up. The Neo-Geo X (hyperlink) takes all of those amazing arcade games and brings them to the present time in one handheld console. It comes with 20 pre-loaded games and SD card expansion for more gaming potential. (Price: $175)

Future: This one is a bit of wishful thinking but it’s the future and you will have some money by then, right? How about a 3D printer (hyperlink) as a cool gadget gift? This baby replicates almost anything into a tangible product so we are glad it’s not out for consumer purchase yet. Think of all the possibilities, and then the consequences. If you can find one, or have a time machine, the MakerBot Replicator 2 will set you back $5,000.

Will you check back next year for more festivities and yuletide coping advice? Tell us what you think. Goodnight to all and to all a cool gadget gift site!
