My mobile phone bargain

in How much have you saved?
My son wanted this mobile phone for Christmas:

My other half wanted to buy it straight away but I wanted to make sure we got the best deal, so I used Martin's shop-bots and found it at £99.99 (BNIB) on ebay, then went via Pigsback and used a 20% off email-coupon I'd had sent to me by ebay the week before - resulting in the phone costing only £80.98.

My OH cannot believe I saved almost £50 by spending a few minutes extra!!

thank you MSE and Merry Christmas :beer:

    a quick tip for anyone buying sony ericcson mobiles online, make sure the model number ends in i or e, i stands for international and e stands for europe, dont buy one that ends with c as that stands for china

    take for example the phone in the o.p, if it was a w910c it would be a cheaper model from the chinese market
    things arent the way they were before, you wouldnt even recognise me anymore- not that you knew me back then ;)
