Have you ever wondered how you can get the best price on your next pair of sunglasses? Are you sick of paying top dollar for your name brand shades? Sure Oakley’s and Ray Ban’s may be better than their no name competitors, but some of the prices are just plain exorbitant.
In this article I will discuss a few proven techniques that you can use to guarantee a rock bottom price on your next pair of glasses – Whatever kind they may be.
I ALWAYS start my search for cheap prices on eBay. They tend to generally have the lowest or close to the lowest prices on almost everything. You have to be careful though; if you use eBay incorrectly you may end up thinking that a pair of sunglasses are going to be much cheaper than they really are.
The best way to gauge roughly how much your sunglasses will cost on eBay is to look at “buy it now” prices or auctions that are ending in the next hour. Other auctions will generally have a lower price, but have more time left. This means you won’t be able to tell how much you can expect to pay.
So basically do a direct search for your chosen pair of sunglasses and then look at the prices as mentioned above to determine what you can expect to pay on eBay.
As said above, eBay generally has some of the lowest prices around; so by using them you can get a good root price that other shops must beat before they get your business.
Next I would use a good price comparison service such as shopping.com. Price comparison services will display many different prices from many different shops on a wide range of products – Including sunglasses.
By providing prices from many different online stores these price comparison sites can save a shopper the hassle of searching for the best price around.
Go ahead; give one of the comparison sites a whirl - Just make sure that the prices listed are for the exact brand and model of glasses you want. If you find a store that offers a better price than those you found on eBay, you may just want to do business with them.
One more reminder; stay away from people on eBay that have bad feedback. Make sure that if you purchase a pair of shades from someone on eBay that they have positive feedback. Likewise, stay away from shops on price comparison sites that have a rather poor rating.
By utilizing the tools available to you online, you can ensure that you get the best deal on your next pair of sunglasses.
