kamotegirl’s tips on e-haggling

Rai    Uncategorized     current news

Last week, I upgraded some of computer parts and so, I sold some old items to tipidpc.com. I have encountered some buyers who are nice and easy to talk to and some not so nice. So here is a guide on how to e-haggle if you are buying second-hand items online.

1. Courtesy is the key. Always remember to be nice to the seller if you are haggling. Try not to be pushy. Just tell the seller that you cannot afford the price but you need the item and ask if meeting halfway is OK. Do not dictate to the seller what the price should be. Remember that you are asking for a favor here. If the seller wants to get rid of the item ASAP, the price will be a giveaway. If the price is steep, you got a lot of competitors out there and the seller is looking for the highest bidder. read more

Dual-channel vs. Single-channel Memory

Lately, I am constantly being bothered by the POST message my computer shows me that says:

Found 1048576KB Memory Single-Channel Mode

I tinkered around the BIOS settings, checking that I must have left something out that should be set other than the default value, and still that goddamn message still shows up. But I know that it is about the memory (duh!). read more

My New Baby

Rai    Hardware    

I went yesterday to buy my very new LCD monitor, Samsung 940BW. This is my first LCD monitor and it is freaking cool! It’s fairly cheap considering Samsung mass produces their LCD products.

Pros:

- slender, gorgeous and fabulous (like me )

- colors are bright and wonderful (I am colorblind btw, lol)

- nice stand and has DVI cable included (Viewsonic VG1930WM doesn’t)

- cheaper compared to Viewsonic

Cons:

- I got C Panel, which according to some reviews I read are the worst kind of panel (there are S, A and C panels)

- Bought it from PC Options where the sales persons are dumb (and boy, they can’t wait to get rid of their customers)

- This baby got me broke.

I will try to get more pictures of this later, but for now here it is:
