Be careful about posting "Buying Advice" or having any discussion here. Ironically I was blocked by ibose who gave you a thumbs up for giving buying advice in this section when he and others went on a rant about people posting buying advice in this thread.
Meh. There is too much of the advice on this thread, agreed, but also a difference between advice and saying 'this is not a good deal' when something is posted as a deal.
I use this thread to find deals on Amazon because they're on Amazon — so that I can use amazon pay later, ncemi and vouchers. If I have the cash, then I do a quick lookup on pcpricetracker.in before buying.
