With PC show 2010 coming right up, many will be in a craze to buy new IT gadgets and PCs. Before jumping in to buy, there are some things which buyers should take note of.
1. Check your depth
Check how deep your pockets can go.
Before buying anything, know your budget, and how tight you are controlling it. Do not overspend, yet sometimes it is worth it to spend a few more bucks on quality items.
2. Check what you lack
Always get items that you lack first. For example, if you are short of a printer, you should get a printer first instead of getting maybe an extra external hard drive.
3. What you are going to use it for
For example, if you plan to purchase a laptop or desktop, know what you are going to use it for. Internet surfing, web-designing, media editing, gaming? Know the purpose of the machine or gadget you are going to buy will influence the decision you make when purchasing the product.
4. Do your homework
Always read up on the brand’s reputation, product specifications, features, warranty period, etc. before hand. Ask your friends on their experience with their products and brands. Do not believe in advertisements.
5. Double check with various sellers
There is a saying in Chinese: 货比三家, which means that you must check out and compare with 3 sellers before buying. Compare the prices, features, specifications, freebies, etc. Do not toally believe in what the salesman says.
6. Clear all doubts before buying
Salesman has the responsibility to inform the seller the features of the product. You have the liberty and right to ask about the product. Clear all question marks in your head before forking out your cards or cash.
7. Say “thank you”, don’t forget the receipt
Maintain a friendly relationship with the salesman not only ensures you a pleasant buying experience, it also opens the way back to him if you have a question post-sales. Good service goes 2 way. As for the receipt, Proof-of-purchase Fullstop.
