Part 5: Pricing

In this post I am going to talk about fair pricing. "Fair pricing" means that you aren't paying too much for a product. Remember that if you are reading this a month or more from now, this guide would be nearly useless, but read through anyway, the important stuff comes next.

Online retailers usually price their goods less than brick-and-mortar stores, but shipping may make ordering online a waste of time. Also think about tax where applicable. Here is an idea of what I'm on about:

PNY GeForce GTS250 1GB

Newegg.com: ($150 before $20 MIR , FREE CoD5, $7.59 3DAY shipping = $157.59 + TAX where required before value of CoD5 and $20 MIR) $157.59-$40-$20= ~$97.59 considering you were going to sell the CoD5 and do the MIR!

BestBuy.com ($190+$6 Standard shipping = $196+TAX where required)

$~97.59 or $~196, your choice!

Fair rates: (online) (non OC, stock)

nVidia:

9400GT ~ $40

9500GT ~ $50

9600GT ~ $70

9800GT ~ $95

GTS250 ~ $110

GTX260c216 ~ $160

4550 ~ $45

4650 ~ $50
