Life is getting ‘normalize’ for me once again after the Christmas and New Year holidays. I can tell you the week before New Year was crazy. I’ve been buying and buying non-stop. The big difference this year is I am doing most, if not all, my shopping online.

I always talk about the beauty of internet shopping and this is the time I guess I get to put money where my mouth is. I bought gifts for my family online and a big resounding yes, it’s cheaper. For those who love the crowd crazy holiday atmosphere, then I guess there’s nothing like sweating and roughing it out at the checking counter. I rest my case. :-)

I’ve blogged about my Iphone obsession a million times on this blog and I’m still thinking if I should go all out and just get it over with. Iphone is not available in my country yet but there are people selling Iphone over here at around USD900+. Yeah, you hear me right. It’s more expensive over here.

That is so cheap!

Getting an Iphone over here is too expensive when I see bidding for brand new Iphones over at Bidaroo.com starts at a mere USD40. I’ve never bid for anything online before but the prices at the site are really tempting. What I don’t get is how Bidaroo.com can sell their products 80%-90% below retail price? I know it is a part Charity Auction site and at least 25% of the proceeds will be given back to cancer fighting causes and other charitable organizations, I still don’t understand how they can give out such Best Prices.

Anyone checked out or has experience bidding before on Charity Auctions like Bidaroo.com? Do share and help me get off my Iphone craving once and for all. I honestly don’t mind satisfying my craving and doing some good at the same time. It’s a 2 in 1.

    It is real cheap but do make sure it is not locked or else end up as polyphonic “high tech’ alarm clock like my sagem 220x.LOL

    There has GOT to be something wrong with it. I’ve never ever bought anything that was an unbelievable deal and had it turn out to be anything but shit…great deal, okay, unbelievable no.

    Sadly, in my limited experience, cheap price=cheap crap.

    That is such a great deal! Do remember to check it out as it can be quite dangerous.

    I checked out the site and wow.. it’s amazing & diferent.. they take the highest unique bid instead of the highest bid.. it says every product is brand new and I google’d it and found someone say they shipped the iphone directly from Apple.. and it was brand new! anyways.. Great find!!!! I am now a huge fan of Bidaroo and continue to be a huge fan of your site!!!

    Thanks!!!
