How do I get a Nintendo DS Cheap ? This is a question a lot of people are asking at the moment. With the credit crunch hitting people hard and people losing their jobs; times are tough at the moment. However, there are still a lot of opportunites to get some of your purchases a lot less expensive.
Ok, so who do we get out Nintendo DS Cheap then?
We could get our Nintendo Handheld Console second hand from ebay, but we have to use a very specific strategy to get the cheapest price possible. This is the stategy that we MUST use:
- First you must decide how much will be your top bid for an item. We will assume £60 for now.
- Get a list of all the auctions for Nintendo handheld Consoles for the next 7 days and set the maximum price to £60
- Within the list check for all the items that end between the times 4:30pm and 6:00pm
- Filter them down even further to the ones ending during the week.
- This is our target list of potential under priced sale items
Note the we use these times as this is the time when most adult are picking up children from school, doing tea time meals or travelling back from work.
Now we need to set a snipe to get our sale so if our bid is the highest then we cannot be outbid by a manual bidder. So goto ‘goofbay.com’ and signup for a free account. I have used goofbays free sniper tool for around 2 years now and have got some tremendous bargains (including a multi-gym for £12).
Now take your ebay list and the auction items ending in the next 24 hours between the times above and these are our targets. Add a snipe for your target item via goofbay, I would make it the lowest price of your list.
And thats how we snipe for our Nintendo Handheld Console via ebay. The same strategy can be used for any ebay item.. When you get a bargain please give a bookmark via the link at the bottom of the blog post 
Our next strategy is to get a NEW Nintendo DS Cheap online using one of the major retailers.
This strategy involved the use of cash back sites like ‘quidco’ or ‘cash back kings’ whom I have used used for a number of purchased over the past 3 and a half years. There are two parts to this strategy and they must be followed exactly.
First we need to signup for quidco at ‘www.quidco.com’ then we find a good percentage cashback within ‘electricals->superstores’. We will use ‘kays’ or ‘littlewoods’ as an example as they offer 8%.
We can now purchase through the quidco link and get a 8% cashback on the sale back into our bank account, so if the Nintendo Handheld Console costs us £99 we get £8 back. But we can go further with the cashback sites. Imagine if we get a ‘credit card’ before this purchase, buy the item with cash then not use the card and close the account?
If we took up this strategy we could get a ‘Halifax credit card’ and receive a £20 cashback once the application is accepted then once we have receive the cashback, close the card account without even using the card so no interest or payment to pay. We just receive £20, so with the 8% off the price we get our Nintendo DS Cheap for a price of £71-72 brand new.
As I always say ‘the cash is better off in your pocket than theirs’
