After Christmas sales tip from the experts
Here’s a great piece of advice for everyone shopping online: look for open-box or refurbished items in excellent condition during After Christmas sales. People who don’t exactly get what they want and never play with the tech often return it. US retailers have to label these items open box and the typically come with significant price drops.
For example, that Apple HomePod deal for $250, down from $350, was actually price matched by an open-box discount that lasted a lot longer. In one case, we got it for $238, and it was listed in excellent condition.
The same will go with items like this PS4 Pro:
