I currently own a laptop, but it is an older one, something I use for work, and it doesn’t work for many of the bigger applications I need to run. The time has come to get a new laptop. The problem is that finding the right one is going to be a challenge, and I don’t want to be ripped off. I figured I could save a little buying it off a site like eBay. But eBay can be more expensive in some cases, and it is hard to compare what you find on eBay with other websites. Luckily, I found a new online tool call Auction Shark. They let you compare eBay auctions with other online stores.

I figured finding a laptop would be the perfect test of Auction Shark. I first searched for Laptops, which quickly gave me a list of the hottest matches for my search. I refined my search a bit by selecting my price range (which was only about $600). Turns out, while eBay has a few good prices on laptops from HP, I can get a Toshiba Satellite A135, and computer almost twice as fast as those offered on eBay, for $100 cheaper at the Amazon Marketplace.

Even after I selected my price range I still had a lot of options. I selected a big hard drive because I like to do a lot of stuff with video and that is important. Turns out, even more to my surprise, the online market Ubid has the Toshiba I was looking for, with a bigger hard drive, even cheaper!

I saved so much time using Action Shark that I am hooked. They have taken something complicated like shopping online auctions and made it a simple few click process. It has never been so easy to compare the sell of online products via auction.

What do I have planned for my next purchase? Perhaps Britax Roundabout Car Seats at AuctionSHARK. Hmm…I might need a girlfriend first.
