Using Sounddomain and price matching to other stores is a good way to go.

Depends on what brands you are looking for really.

thezeb and etronics are good places to use also.

Thanks Hardwrkr,

I have been using pricegrabber.ca, and it is pretty good. I was just wondering if there were any good deals going by below the radar.

I want to find a dvd/screen for a price that won't bankrupt me, lol.

Have you had much luck with ebay?

I find its hard to wade through all the junk 'ebay stores' selling cheap crap. Hard to find actual people selling stuff there. IMO

thanks for the idea though

I recently started a business selling vehicle parts and accessories for vehicles. I carry some car audio stuff, but because I am home based I'm limited to a few brands. I carry audiovox, jensen, boss audio, lanzar, pyle, and pyramid. I sell stuff at very reasonable prices. These brands offer very low priced mobile video equipment. I am based in Red Deer, AB and if anybody wants a price quote on something e-mail me @ hustlermotorsports@yahoo.ca. In a few months I will have a website up.

I've had to turn away people that bought on line, that were looking for warranty service depot, in most cases they had to go to the American distributor (major hassle), and on two occasions I referred them to the Canadian distributor, in both cases, since no bill of sale was available from an authorized dealer, warranty was NOT transferrable, and so they had to pay.
A good deal occurs only when both parties benefit.
Watch out with on line sales, make SURE you know where the warranty depot is in your area, and call to confirm that they will work on the equipment purchased from an "on-line" store.
