Hi Everyone!  First, let me thank you for checking out my first guide!  Let me tell you a little bit about our store.  We have been in business for over two years and have acquired more than 17,000 positive feedbacks and positive experiences throughout the process.  Also, we have been through two shopping seasons and let me tell you, it is insane! 

One of the things people always fail to do is shop early.  Let me tell you why it is important to get your shopping done as early as possible.  First, is that products always tend to run out during the Holiday Season!  Stores like us have to compete for space at the sea-ports in Long Beach, CA with companies like Walmart and Best Buy!  That is why we stock items a lot earlier than they do.  So get your shopping done as early as possible, and now is a great time!

Second, is shopping early saves you money!  Lots of it too!  When things are up for bid during the Holiday Season, people tend to pay a lot more than what the product is actually worth.  It is called "Bidding Wars".  Because hot items become more and more rare through the Holiday Season, people are willing to pay top dollars for that item.  The easiest way to save money and avoid "Bidding Wars" is to buy early!

We are an online store so that means we need to ship our products using USPS, Fedex, or Air Mail.  It takes time for your product to get to you!  Although these services are great, we cannot say that they deliver our products 100% of the time!  Sometimes things get lost or they get damaged during shipment, but when you buy early, you can work with the seller to fix these problems.  Also, if you are dissatisfied with the product, you can always contact the seller for some type of return or resolution.  Most sellers will work with you towards resolving a situation!  That is the beauty of eBay!

So, when shopping online this Holiday Season, keep in mind these simple tips.  I hope that I have been informative and that these tips will help you save time, money and heartache through this Holiday Season!

Best Wishes,

Gamebandit
