I don’t know about the infomercial products. They really charge you an arm and a land for shipping when you order online or over the phone. Plus they usually try to upsell you a whole lot of stuff too.

Somehow, I feel like the plane ticket to Japan might be a bit pricier than the shipping and handling from Goggles4U….

But that’s a good tip for the next time I’m in the area. I’m gonna buy out the joint and hope that my prescription doesn’t change.

No.

Don’t buy prescription spectacles online. Buy them in Asia in person and push for a better price.

In most of Asia, top grade frames and lenses are about one fifth of the price in UK, EU, USA and AU.

I bought three pairs of top brand name frames with Japanese lenses for the price that one pair of crap frames and low-grade lenses would have cost in Sydney, AU.

@ Dan : You want book advice? Try a library. You want a great deal on a book? Use the internet.

This is really really bad advice about books. First off, the price is relative based on where you live. In New York State, they charge tax now on book purchases online. If there’s a shipping charge, you actually pay more.

Amazon is slightly better than Barnes&Noble because they don’t have the distributor problems that B&N does. B&N doesn’t warehouse every book from every publisher, and they’ve often told me something is out of print, when it’s in print, simply because they don’t stock it. So that’s bad advice to say a book doesn’t exist if they don’t have it or that you shouldn’t want it.

I get regular discounts at my local independent bookstore where the people who work there know every book in the store intimately, and when I need something, i talk to them and they give me great guidance. Online bookbuying is not the place to go for that sort of thing.

I would submit technology too…New Egg and Tiger Direct have prices on computers, monitors, peripherals, etc. that can’t be beat by retail chains. Anyone know of the best place to get Blu-rays?

Yahoo FareChase is a great travel web site. It has great flexibility plus it includes JetBlue and Southwest in their choices while most other sites do not. This is a hidden gem that is definitely worth a look.

Half.com! Half.com for books. I’ve bought approximately half a crore of books from betterworldbooks for under two dollars. Biggest cost – shipping at $3.50 for the first one and then $1.89 for each additional item.

I realize half.com is just a front end for eBay, but I feel like it’s smoother.
