We regularly reach out to NoBetterDeal.com shoppers and ask them about their shopping experiences (I told you, we really do care).  Here are some recent comments on shopping the secondary market:

Chris: autoworker, dad, and regular customer of one of the best secondary market web sites.  “I just bought a Weber gas grill online.  OK, it had a scratch on it.  But it cost less than 50 percent of the retail price, and it works perfectly. I could have bought a cheaper, lower-quality grill at list price at the store, and it would have had a scratch on it within a week.  To me, it’s a no-brainer.”

Tracey: Kentucky housewife, two children.   “I hardly ever go to the store anymore, unless I’m buying clothing and groceries.  Everything else – electronics, furniture, sports equipment, you name it – we buy online from NoBetterDeal.com.  Last month I bought a 47” LCD TV for $667.  I did my research – the same TV sold at the electronics stores for $1,300.  I’ve bought lots of ‘As Is’ merchandise, and except for an Mp3 player that came with no headphones, it’s all been like new.  We buy birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, everything there now.” 

Ashley:  Ohio mom with a young daughter, has shopped the online secondary market for a little over one year.  “I’ve bought a refrigerator, rocking chairs, toys, electronics – everything you might think of, for me and for my whole family.  I found a changing table listed at $189 for $35, and a backyard playhouse that cost $200 in the store for $30.”

Got a story of your own?  Let’s hear it!
