I'm Writing This Article on a $49 Bargain Laptop

This article is written on a Toshiba laptop computer I bought for just £25 (approx $49) over two years ago! OK it's not the best laptop you can buy but it's certainly no piece of junk either. 80Gb hard drive, USB 2.0 connections, 15 inch widescreen, Intel processor etc. Most importantly it hasn't let me down in over two years. So where did I find such a bargain?

Simple - by searching the online auctions. But not as you might think by spending hours and days wading through endless eBay listings. I used this website page to do all the hard work for me.

NetStoreSearch is an online directory where thousands of online sellers shops hosted at eBay, Tazbar, Oztion, eCrater etc. have listed their addresses. But at the top of each page they have the bargain laptop link I have highlighted.

By clever manipulation of the search criteria I find they have successfully weeded out all the annoying listings that a regular eBay search throws up. The page does take a few seconds to load up but once done I can look at a simple two panel display of the laptops that interest me. One panel features UK listings under £50 and the other laptops in the US selling for $99 or less.

As my last purchase is now more than two years ago I've again started checking this page once a day aiming to pick up a similar bargain and today I though I would share the page here.

My advice is to visit the page regularly and keep bidding on suitable machines until you get one at the right price. There's no point getting involved in any bidding war - if it aint a bargain let someone else buy it!

Now if I can just get enough views of this article it might just pay for my next bargain laptop!
