Of course, there's always old-fashioned bargain-hunting. Several years ago, David Abrams became obsessed with finding bargains online, often buying cheap electronics, such as fax machines, simply because they were inexpensive. An avid videogame player, Mr. Abrams launched www.cheapassgamer.com to help other parsimonious consumers find deals from retailers. Now residing in Tokyo, the former New Yorker is adding a videogame-deals search engine to streamline the process. The site also has an avid community of more than 200,000 users who offer tips about finding the best deals online. The site makes money through a commission collected from online retailers for referral sales, he says.
Dane Galden, 42, checked out Mr. Abrams's Web site over the holidays and learned that the new Electronic Arts Inc. puzzle game Boom Blox would be available at Target for less than half of its retail price. After buying the last two copies from the store, the Columbus, Ohio, product-development consultant then took the Target circular to a different retailer to "price match" and received the lower price, a technique he learned on CAG. He also checks the site for sales throughout the year and hoards discounted products for his son's birthday and Christmas presents. "I probably spend less money now overall than I used to, but I get more stuff," he says.
