Read this before you buy anything from a store

If you are reading this, congratulations, you have just saved yourself some money.

Lol anywayz, I went into PC world ealrier on today to buy a a logitech air (computer mouse) and it was going to cost me £100. So I had my money out to buy it at the till and the guy said "you do know that if you buy it online and pick it up in store it will only cost you £70" and sure enough he was right. I looked at a few reviews on the mouse since I havn't bought it yet and I have actually changed my mind about it because it is suppose to be crap.

So basically, always look at the item you want on the internet because it is likely to be a lot cheaper on it.

I want a 50/50 split on all the money you lot save, PM me for my paypal details.

I would be paying £100 for a mouse that is made for someone doing a presentation for Alan Sugar. Like 70% of the money you are paying for it is for some crazy 3D sensor thing that is made for doing presentations and away from laptop controls. I could pay 50% less for a mouse that will offer me everything I need + more. :P

This thread is stupid, "buying things online = cheaper" is common knowledge.

When I buy online I use my debit card when paying with direct debit or w/e.

But off ebay I pay with paypal.

I don't buy computer goods as I'm a bit of a technophobe.

Its also common knowledge to not buy from PC World!, They try and rip you off most of the time. Thanks for the headup though :)
