Tech fiend !

You heard of sneaker fiend ? Well I am a tech fiend. A tech fiend with a limited budget. (non-profit worker) Which is why the chromecast appealed to me. It sells for 35 dollars and it comes with 3 months worth of nextflix. Only problem being is that it is sold out every where. Place an order today at google play only give you an estimated delivery window 2-3 weeks. Ordering on amazon and expect to get it by Halloween. Of course I had to have this device as soon as possible. That tech itch needs to be scratched !!!

So then began my search for the chromecast. Ebay was telling me pay 100 dollars and I could have it with in a few days ! SORRY not happening. I read that some best buys might have them in stock. Just my luck I live in close proximity to 3 best buy stores. I visited every store and got the same answer no ! That left me one more choice, the list, yeah the craigslist...... that weird place with tags like wfmm.

The going price on craigslist was 65-80 dollars, still a little steep for my blood. But I was desperate. I found one guy selling it for 65 dollars with 3 vouchers to netflix. That 3 months per voucher. I'll do the math for you. That is 24.99 times 3 = 74.99 of free netflix. I could live with that price. I'm actually saving money by buying this. Not the mention the netflix offer is no longer available.

I emailed mr craigslist to see if the device was available, and he emailed me immediately and said yes. We agree-ed to meet in front of supermarket in Manhattan late in the evening. Of course I have a million things to do before I meet him.

Turns out I ended up being about 30 minutes late which was fine, he was late also. I still got there before him. Yes he had the device, and no he did not kid nap me buffalo bill style. I bought the dam thing proudly. Review coming tomorrow !
