Finding deals is fun. It is like winning a game. I love to shop bargain stores Sony Michel Color Rush Jersey , end-of-season sales, closeouts, and more -- but found that I could much better by simply buying through online auctions - if I shop carefully.


Getting a deal out of EBay auctions is an art. Buying from auctions can be a costly proposition or a very economical option depending on your tactics. Buy wisely by learning from my (sometimes costly) experiences.


1. Is the Seller Trustworthy?


Both EBay and Yahoo auctions have seller ratings. Read these and their associated reviews. If the seller has a great rating from buying and a poor one from selling, you probably don't want to buy from them. Look at both praises and complaints as they may or may not apply to what you are bidding on.


2. Read the Description Throughly


It is very easy to read what you want to see in an Ebay auction rather than what is actually written there. Read both what is in the Ebay description and what is NOT in the description. Often your mind will want to fill in details with what is your dream interpretation. You need to re-read the description until you find out whether what you are searching for and what the seller is selling match.


* Used or New?


Is the item you are buying used or new? If it doesn't say new Stephon Gilmore Color Rush Jersey , you are most likely buying something that is used.


* Real or Fake


Is the item you are interested in "real" gold, sterling silver or pearls? For example, a description saying: "gold necklace for sale" does NOT say 14 kt gold or 18kt gold. That most likely means a gold COLORED necklace which may or may not have actual gold metal. This also applies to pearls as many call plastic fake pearls simply "pearls".


If the seller is selling beads, those beads could be plastic Tom Brady Color Rush Jersey , glass, stone, scrap metal, crystal Julian Edelman Color Rush Jersey , chips, wood, clay, gemstone or some other material.


* Item Details


Does the EBay description really say how much you are getting Patriots Jake Bailey Jersey , how long the item is, and quality of the item? Selling by the pound can be a great deal - or a horrible deal.


* Beware of Hidden Costs


Look at shipping and handling costs. I've seen many penny auctions that have $13 or more shipping. Some auctions even have handling fees.


* How Fast Will it Ship?


I've been seeing a fair amount of auctions that note that the product will ship in 2 months or that shipping time is 2 months. If you are buying for a particular holiday, be sure that you will get the item in time.


3. Is it a Bargain For You?


Many times an EBay auction will say that the items are "worth $XXX". In many cases, that price is inflated. Often you can find similar items much cheaper than "$XXX" at normal stores. (However Patriots Hjalte Froholdt Jersey , the auction price may still be cheaper than you can by elsewhere - it really helps to know how much you usually pay for items!) If you are only interested in some of the items in an auction, adjust your bid to reflect how much you are willing to pay for just those items unless you plan to sell the rest as that is how much you would pay for it elsewhere.


4. Auction Fever


Compare prices on the net at the same time to avoid overpaying. Know that usually you can get the item later elsewhere. Wise buyers know to walk away when the price is higher than the item is worth to them.

Understanding different DVD formats is key to burning DVD's at home and making sure that the finished product will play on the devices you want them to. While DVD-video is a term often used to define a movie, such as a rental of the latest blockbuster Patriots Yodny Cajuste Jersey , in actuality there are several different formats of DVD disks that need to be understood and the drives that burn them in order to get the desired results when burning DVD's at home.


Different DVD Formats:


DVD's look like CD's all though they are quite different as they hold about 7 times more information than CD's that allows an entire movie to be burned onto one DVD.


1. DVD-R and DVD+R. These are video disk recording formats that allow for one recording only, once recorded to they cannot be edited, erased or changed in any way, they are locked for life. This type of disk is compatible with all DVD players Patriots Damien Harris Jersey , even older ones.


2. DVD+RW, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM. These DVD formats allow rewrites. They can be recorded with information, erased, and recorded again. These type of disks usually only play newer DVD players only and not older players. Make sure check your DVD player specs to see what formats are compatible.


Main Difference Between the Different DVD Formats:


a) DVD-R Patriots Chase Winovich Jersey , DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD-RW are made for recording movies and video.


b) DVD-RAM disks were created for backing up computer data and hard drives and not for burning DVD's. Most DVD players cannot read or play DVD-RAM disks.


Plus and Minuses Attached to the Different DVD formats:


The plus and minus signs mean nothing really. Years ago when DVDs were first being made there was no industry standard and different companies were making different forms of DVDs hoping that their particular DVD type would become the main one used.


DVD-R and DVD-RW disks were made by Pioneer and data was only written to one layer of the DVDs surface. Other companies supported DVD+R and DVD+RW and as opposed to the '-' disks, the '+' disks had data stored on multiple layers of the disk. The plus and minus sign does not matter in which DVD format you use, they are basically the same thing.


Different DVD Format Drives
