Since someone brought up buying a few things from my posted great finds, I'm curious to see who else has bought stuff off the great finds I've posted and how many you've bought if more than one. Monetary total and/or any other details optional. For great find science!

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I had a look back through your great finds threads (wow - many threads).  Most of them are US-centric.

I did buy an SP Crap Bag based on one thread :)

I am sure I did, but I couldn't say what.  Not ladies' undergarments, to be sure.

And in case it hasn't been said before:  Thank you very much!

Hehe , you started wondering.

I bought a bunch of stuff that I saw in great finds. Though I am not sure which was from a topic you made and which was from someone else. I used a Razer discount, bought an SP grab bag, made use of a PC discount site that you linked in a topic among other things.

Unfortunately I cannot make use of a lot of sales from the U.S. due to shipping and customs.  (Sometimes things are just not available to people outside the U.S.like that  "Dark Souls" PC download). Often it is still worth shipping from the US, customs and all, because something is not available in Europe.

I "bought" a free copy of Mafia 2, so their is that, plus i think a copy of Borderlands 2. Most of the items i generally avoid due to shipping costs countering the deal, or because they're tax rebates which don't help me too much :)

Thanks again though!
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

My favorite finds are cheap video games. The stuff you find for Steam and 3DS in particular is awesome for me :D.


And I guess keyboards :P

Yes, many of the deal sites and forums I browse mostly have US only deals and lets be real here, the US does get the best overall deals for things :P That being said, I do try to post things for Canada and other countries if I come across anything good.
