BargainDiscovery Weblog of Deals

Sun, 16 Feb 2003 14:51:05 GMT

The snow continues to pound us pretty heavily here in Maryland.... we already have a foot and its suppose to be only 1/4 of the way past!! Good thing we have two strong (but sometimes lazy) boys to help dig our way clear ..... sometime in the future! Went food shopping yesterday, the fireplace has plenty of wood, so we'r sitting back and enjoying things....especially looking for those hot and sometimes overlooked deals.

As you may recall, we have been busy this past week shuffling between ISP's... our original one must have gone belly-up since support simply was not there...and they apprently stopped paying their bills. We then switched to a reasonably priced one last weekend...only to then discover that their servers are located in Hong Kong!! Great customer support, but did'nt want to deal with the timeouts. Then shifted over to a rather new Hosting provider...that is actually run by a young (we'r talking teenager) in Michigan...with the servers located in Texas (as far as I can tell).... and thankfully, all seems to have settled down to the point that our focus can once again be towards finding and reporting daily web bargains and deals.

Our Forum area is once again being setup...so please click the 'Forums' button on the left, join our very own forum...and start your postings... i will be setting some categories up today, so if there is one you would really like...drop me a note (bob@bargaindiscovery.com). In the mean time, here are a few good deals already being posted:

Overstock - CHEAP Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix! (Posted by: Jenny)
This is the cheapest I have seen the newest Harry Potter book anywhere! You can pre-order it from Overstock for $14.99! That is a great price for a hardback book nowadays! Buy.com has it for $16.17 and Barnes & Noble and Amazon have it for $17.99 each. The best part about Overstock.com is that for shipping 1 media item (such as the book), the shipping cost is only $1.40, so even with shipping, it is STILL cheaper than Amazon & BN.com! Absolutely fantastic deal for those Harry Potter fans! OVERSTOCK
