Dot-com advice.
by Barbie Kunkelova

What a beautiful color, amazing design and it's stylish, too! Yes, I'm definitely buying an iPod Nano. However, every single final decision is preceded by a thorough process of evaluating, thinking and rethinking the product. So I start asking my co-workers whom I saw a couple of times with white headphones. Where did you get it, mate? Are you glad you got it? Does it break? How much stuff can you fit on there? Oh wow, you mean complete movies - stored in this?! Oh, OK, I'm just going for a 4GB. Susan interrupts our manly session: I hate how the headphones break all the time, but it's worth it and you can get it cheapest at Wal-Mart. Marilyn from the compartment to the left shrieks: Noo, my niece got it on eBay because Wal-Mart had poorer selection!! An price war starts. The boss enters the room after overhearing some curses. Why don't you go ahead and compare the prices online? Suddenly the pffice becomes silent and empty & with everyone crowded in my compartment around my desk. Pieces of advice come from everyone, everyone knows a better comparison site, everyone has tried the best comparison site and many have tried majority of comparison sites and have been misled by them. Some seem trustworthy; they were launched during the dot-com bubble boom in 1998. They tell us the price of a Nano in my town varies from $79 up to $229. And it's the same product all in all! $79 at ASK Electronics. Few other sites confirm this. I look up the location of the nearest ASK store and run in for my treasure. I get what I want, I pay a great price. Three days after my sister announces she got an iPod for $59 via some webpage. That drives me mad and I verify every piece of information I get x-times ever since.
