Being a techie is fun, but sometimes it can get very very annoying too.

Fun, because of the fame, respect, satisfaction and the eyebrows that get raised when you increase the font size of the selected text using Ctrl+Shift+> instead of clicking the font size box in MS Word. Annoying, when people ask - "I recently installed Firefox 3.0 and suddenly sparks came out from my CPU. Does the latest Firefox come with a virus that burns the SMPS ?"

Coming back to the topic of this post, why am I writing this is because most of the times, I get queries from people regarding current prices of mobile phones and accessories, computer hardware, laptops, MP3 Players and other gadgets though, Neither do I own any of these (except a second hand MOTOROKR E6) Nor do I own or have befriended the owner of a gadget shop.

Here are the ways I get the latest prices easily on the net

1. Computer Warehouse
   
   First I always go to www.computerwarehousepricelist.com
   Its well designed, well categorized and fast but I hate the java applet that they have on the main page to scroll text. They could have FLASH instead.
   
   
2. Univercell
   
   The ultimate site for mobile phones with great search features that allow you to specify price ranges, brands and features.
   site: www.univercell.in
   
   
3. E-Bay India
   
   Though the price ranges are slightly higher than normal at Ebay for most of the things, EBay is a great time killer too due to the variety of products available on the site. www.ebay.in
   
   
4. Delta Page
   
   This is another site with computer hardware prices.
