How to find great deals on EBAY or Trademe!

Hi guys
in this post I'm going to explain how to get cheap electronic goods on auction websites such as Trademe and Ebay

Step one. Prepare, set your budget, I wanted a laptop and knew my budget was under $200 NZD (about $135 USD)

Step two. Search, and I don't just mean do a quick search and pick one, I Searched for 2 weeks looking at about 150 auctions in total.

Step three. When it comes to auctions, if you are intersted in auctions, set it to your watchlist and check it every day, who knows, the buyer might just lower that price!

Step four. Buy it now. The BUYNOW button on Trademe is my best friend, I dont like getting in bid wars with other people because often it will cause me to go over my budget, so what I do is ask the seller if they can post a certain buynow (within your budget of course!)

Step five. Pounce! once you see your specific auction that is at a great price, Pounce! it may not be there again tomorrow!, make sure you have the money to buy it though!

Thanks for reading this post guys!

How to make EASY FREE ipod speakers!



Step one: Gather the materials!
you will need to get a speaker prefrerably not bigger that 4cm x 4cm
jelly crimps (you could always just twist the wires, but i like this better)
jelly crimper (same as above)
hot glue gun
a needle
a plastic box
Scissors or a stanly knife


First begin by prepping the box lid (poking holes in it with a needle like so)



Then cut the top of your headphones off!



Grab your headphones and twist them (or crimp) them to the matching wires inside the headphone, my order was the black wires went to the copper wires in the headphone wire and the red went to the green.



Cut a hole in the side of you box big enough for your wires to fit through.



Then Hot glue your speaker to the top of the lid (where you poked holes through.)



Wait for it to cool.

Then feed your wires in!



put the box lid on.

And your done!




ENJOY YOUR FREE IPOD SPEAKER!
