Buying At Amazon Can Save You Money!

The frugal golfer knows that buying at Amazon can mean big savings on golf equipment! And as always, every dollar you save on golf purchases is a dollar you can do something else with (like playing more golf!).

There’s a good reason that Amazon is the world’s largest online retailer (nearly $15 billion in annual sales in 2007). Actually, two reasons — first just about anything that can be found in a brick and mortar retail store can be found on Amazon, and second, most of the time it can be found cheaper(or, at the very least, just as cheap)!

I started shopping at Amazon years ago for books, dvd’s, games, electronics, and a myriad of other items. Going to the mall to shop has never been one of my favorite pasttimes, and I quickly embraced all the advantages of buying at Amazon — massive selection, great prices, quick delivery, and security of the transaction. All of this translated into a buying experience that was hard to match, with the result that it has been years since I have had to venture to the mall for a holiday or birthday present. More and more these days I’ve found that Amazon is a great place for golf equipment too!

Check it out for yourself! Go to the page at Amazon.com for golf gps sytems. You will find just about every golf gps system on the market. Go to one of them, click on the stars you see & access large numbers on user reviews for that product — perhaps nothing is more useful for evaluating different brands than these user ratings. Pick out a product you like & click on the link for “used & new”. Not only will you get pricing information (that includes shipping), but you will also get the track record of the various merchants provided by their customers. Click on the link next to the merchant’s star rating and access more detailed information. Many a time I have passed up the best deal in order to feel more secure with the merchant I was buying from.

The major disadvantage to shopping online, of course, is that you can’t touch the product or try it out before you buy it. So I don’t necessarily recommend that you rely totally on the internet to identify what you want to purchase. Hit your buddy’s new driver, try on that new glove at the store, and otherwise do your homework to zero in on the best product for you. But once you’ve identified what you want, the frugal golfer knows to check out if buying at Amazon will get it cheaper.
