When considering whether to place a bid, first review the sellers policies on shipping and handling charges, and return and refund policies. If a return or exchange is necessary, are you required to pay shipping costs, or, will a re-stocking fee be required? There's no guarantee that something is a good deal just because it is on an internet auction block. Try to determine the relative value of an item before you bid. Read the fine print. Try to look for words like reburbished, close-out, discontinued, or off brand, especially when shopping for computer or electronic equipment. Ask if the item comes with a warranty and where you'll get follow up service if you need it. Some sellers don't have facilities to provide service for the goods they sell. Be sure you are willing to forfeit that protection before placing your bid. Remember if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
