Groundhogs Day, St. Patty’s Day, the first day of Spring…nowadays everybody’s looking for a way to celebrate SOMETHING. Good times, good friends, good food–and lots and lots of laughter. And perhaps, a little good old-fashioned mischief, just to keep things interesting…
Sometimes, the best way to show your friends and family just how much you care is to make them the target of a custom-crafted prank! So go ahead all you jokesters out there–dig out your…
disappearing ink, 
your phony dog doo doo, 
and heck, throw in some water balloons 
if you’ve got ‘em! We wanna hear all about it!
What was your best April Fools Day prank?

Secondary market websites sell products under different category listings. They indicate the condition of the product and, trust me, they’re important. Don’t buy unless you know the condition. Below are the most common.
New. Just what you’d find on the store shelf. Highest priced stuff you’ll find in the secondary market. Still the lowest price around.
Open Box. The box was opened and re-taped, but the stuff inside works. Deeper discount than “new” items.
Refurbished. It had a problem, but was fixed, tested and is now good as new. Discounts on refurb items will be similar to open box.
As Is. Retail store returns, most of which work just fine. But they’re not tested, so no way to know for sure. Could have a scratch or a missing component. “As Is” products carry the biggest discounts – up to 70% off retail (not kidding!). Some sites won’t offer refunds on “as is,” so do your research. NoBetterDeal.com let’s you return items up to two weeks after purchase date.
If you care less about looks and more about whether or not an item works, then “as is” is a good way to go. But when appearance matters more (for example, if it’s a piece of furniture), think twice about “as is!”
The moral here is that you don’t need to be afraid of shopping in the secondary market as long as you take the time to find out what the product conditions mean and what the return policies are.
Happy Bargain Shopping!
