Instructables Saved Me Over $100

My 19" Acer LCD monitor went dark, the Instructables site showed me How to repair a Westinghouse L1975NW 19" LCD Monitor (equivalent to mine) using less than 10 dollars worth of parts found on eBay. Soldering skills required. Changed two capacitors, 2 transistors, and a tiny fuse.
Check out the top-viewed Instructables.

Cheap Media & Deals at Amazon

Amazon.com's "other merchants" have low prices and reasonable shipping charges on pre-owned books, CDs, DVDs, etc. Amazon's "A to Z" protection plan is really on the side of the consumer.

NWT = new clothes, cheap

Clothing on eBay that has never been worn and still has tags attached typically has the acronym NWT in its description.

So, for slacks I have a stored search that eBay emails me whenever an item that matches:

38x30 Haggar NWT

is listed! Incredible savings.

Battery Bargains

I get all my specialty batteries (phone and camera, etc.), cell phone chargers, GPS chargers, cases, etc. from eBay. The well-rated sellers in Hong Kong really ship quite fast and their prices are very low.

I still buy the usual AA, AAA and 9V ones at local Dollar Store.

Rechargeables vary so much in quality, so I stick withthe brands names sold at Costco.
