Looking For Sale

a guide for making decision
Dec 20

How did we survive without Amazon? This one little Internet portal will fill almost all of your personal needs. And I’m talkin’ not just shopping. Read on, my Internet surfing friend.

The very first thing that may come to mind about Amazon is that you can buy stuff there, right? I mean there is almost nothing on the planet that is not available for purchase. They even have perishable groceries for your dining pleasure, like milk… and not just any milk, this is milk by the gallon from the Tuscan area in Italy. Save yourself a trip to Italy and buy your milk online!

Need an item of wearing apparel? They have it. Toys? Got ‘em. Coffee and coffee makers to get a jump start on your day? You guessed it, they have ‘em. Toilet paper (ok, bathroom tissue)? No problemo. Doggie meds? Got it covered. What about a tank? There is a personal land cruiser for sale! Why, there is even a wedding chapel. We are talkin’ a to z, soup to nuts folks. You do not have to leave the comfort of your computer niche. Just stay huddled up there where ever you are. Neither fresh air nor the light of day need to touch you.

Another plus is convenience. This has already been alluded to, but it must be mentioned. If you have searched all your local stores without success, try Amazon. They probably have it. Now, that is not always the case. For instance, on Black Friday, I did look for a craft item for my wife at the local stores (I waited until afternoon rather than waiting in the 4 AM lines at my local department store), and it was also already sold out online. However, in most instances, you will find it online when it is unavailable locally.

Still another plus is the product reviews. Find out what others who bought the product you are interested in think about it before you purchase. I use their customer reviews for all my camera gear. This is actually one of the most powerful features of Amazon. There are plenty of reviews. There is at least one down side to the reviews. Some of them are not totally legitimate. There are a few “cranks” who leave reviews because they love to rant. You can usually tell who they are, so if you find really bad reviews in the midst of great ones, be aware that it may not be worth considering.

Entertainment is not usually considered as a benefit, but reading the product descriptions and reviews can easily be entertainment for an evening. Just recently, I was reading some reviews and ended up laughing so hard that tears were running down my cheeks.

Finally, there is the reliability factor. You can count on being able to talk to someone live if you have a problem with your order. It happened to me not too long ago. As usual, I waited until the eleventh hour to order a video camera to take on vacation. The tracking said that the camera was in our area, but it did not get delivered. Finally, with only a day left before we were to leave, I panicked and called customer service. They sent me a second camera via express delivery. It arrived in less than 24 hours at no extra charge. Just one experience like that can make you a lifetime supporter.

I have read some pretty horrid stories on general review sites about my favorite buying web site, as well as some excellent ones like the one I just related. And, perhaps I, too, will have a bad experience at some point. But for now, I have had literally dozens of wonderful transactions. They have always delivered the goods. And, of course, there is the entertainment factor. It’s a cheap date.

Oh, yeah, did I mention that you can sell stuff from this nifty all-in-one Internet portal? Well, you can. It’s easy to become a part-time or full time affiliate using them as a source for your merchandise. I have a camera review site where i promote some of the finest cameras and equipment on the market.

Finally, finally, you can go to the www.digital-photographic-resources.com web site and find great deals from Amazon.DOT.com. It’s so much easier than going to a local cheap-buy store hoping to get a good deal on a camera that they don’t even carry. Anyway, hope you find what you want, whether it’s a camera, a tank, a gallon of milk, or just a little fun.

I love photography and all things related to it. In fact, I have created a web site just to show off some of the newest and greatest at www.digital-photographic-resources.com Cameras, camera gear, and image editing software fascinate me, so I am either buying the newest piece of equipment (or software) or researching my next purchase.

When looking at high definition televisions (HDTVs for short) you should think about the following criteria:

Budget

When considering budget you should not only think of the television set but also any additional items such as a home theatre surround sound system, any special remark controls, lighting requirements, automated drapes and the like. There is a big difference between putting a television understanding your bedroom and building a home theatre.

Size

This is one instance in which bigger is not always better! Your TV can be too small for your usage or too large to your space. There will be an optimal range based on where you intend to place the television and where you intend to set.

Size and budget are probably the two most important criteria when buying a high definition TV. These two criteria will narrow your choice dramatically before you get to technological or usage criteria.

Planned Usage

You need to think about what you will be using your TV for. Will you be watching a lot of sports; perhaps movies; or maybe video games? Different types of HDTV perform better with certain types of content. For example people who watch the same channel day might want to consider avoiding plasma screen displays due to burn-in effects. Similarly sports fans might find a big DLP projection system to be perfect to their needs.

Connections

If you already have good quality audiovisual gear this may dictate what type of interfaces and ports you will need on your HDTV, and therefore the model you buy. Make sure you check all the connections available such as HDMI ports, S video, SCART connections, digital audio, VGA and DVI inputs.

Extra Features

It can be easy to be swayed by gimmicky features. You must remember though, that in many implementations you may not be able to use all of them. For instance if all your signals coming over one connection you may not be able to use picture in picture functionality.

The InterBuildingSocieties.co.uk site gives you information about building societies and the leeds building society.

Rock Crawler

While images of the Rock Crawler Bouncer and Ball Pit are great, when you see it in person you will be blown away. We were fortunate to get a first hand look at the Rock Crawler during a photo shot and film session in Winter Haven, FL. Steve Bates, from Black Oak Creative, who invited us to watch the Rock Crawler photo shoot had this to say,”Our company always enjoys creating demand for a product that truly deserves it. Seeing the kids having the time of their lives makes our job fun.” This could not sum up our overall impression of the Rock Crawler any better.

The first thing I noticed as the bounce house inflated for the first time was the vibrant Fire Engine Red. The black of the wheels and the roll bar really makes this bouncer stand out. In person, the unit appears much larger then the photos suggest. At 18′ long, 11′ wide and 7′ tall, the Rock Crawler is one of the large residential units on the market. Kids enter through the front tire. Once kids climb through the front tire they will find themselves in the ball pit area. The manufacture recommends 500 to 600 balls to fill the ball pit. A nice safety feature is the Velcro enclosure that separates the bounce area from the ball pit. Going through the Velcro enclosure, kids will find themselves in the nearly 8′ x 8′ bounce floor. This is considered an above average size for a bounce floor. To exit the Rock Crawler, kids can slide down the double wide tail gate slide.

Like all residential Blast Zone Inflatables, the Rock Crawler is for kids three and up that weigh under 100 lbs. This bounce houses is rated for up to six kids. Constructed out of X-Weave and Commercial Vinyl Material, this bouncer comes with an industry high ninety day warranty. This unit complies with all CPSIA Regulations and is Phthalate Free.

Features

  • 18 x 11 x 7
  • 7.5 x 7.5 Inside Dimension Bounce Floor
  • Included UL Blower
  • Included Carry-Case

  • Large Bounce Floor
  • Ball Pit
  • Add Optional Play Balls
  • Up to 6 Kids
  • Max Weight per user: 100 lbs
  • X-Weave and Commercial Vinyl Material
  • Ages 3 and up

Make no mistake, this bounce house is no truck, it is a Cadillac. The kids at the photo shoot absolutely loved this bounce house. A special thanks to Steve Bates and his production crew from Black Oak Creative.
