In Search of An Mp3 Player

Written on August 26, 2009 – 3:52 pm | by Glass Pearl |

It’s my own fault I’m looking for an Mp3 player.

A while ago I received an Apple Ipod 2GB as a gift, but because I wasn’t in need of one at the time, put it on auction in Bidorbuy’s Electronic Category.

I sold it for R1000!

Mind you, I probably wouldn’t get that amount these days for a 2GB iPod – or so I keep telling myself.

What can I say, I’m addicted to online auctions!

Now I’m in the market for an MP3 player to use while getting in shape for the summer and guess where I’ll be heading to first, to compare prices?

A clue?

I’m not looking for anything extravagant or overly expensive because I will be hitting the road to train for a few 10km races later in the year and I don’t want to live in fear of losing an expensive MP3 player.

And chances are, I will!

So far I’ve seen a 2GB mini MP3 player for R149, including shipping. And the seller is verified – which means the chances are increased that it is a genuine sale.

But what is the point of just buying the first MP3 player that looks good? No self-respecting auction junky would do such a thing!

I will look around Bidorbuy’s Electronic Category, especially their R1.00 Crazy Auctions, and hope I find a player at an even better price.

If not, I know where to find one at a good price.
