Tip of the Day – Check Model Numbers

Ever wonder why some stores can sell a product cheaper than others?  Many “big box” stores will order a batch of electronics with a few “modifications” made.  In other words, cheaper parts for a bigger profit margin.

At face value, it will seem like the exact same product you have been researching and drooling over for several months.  Whether it’s cheaper capacitors, cheaper labour causing cold solder joints, it isn’t the product you were looking at and it isn’t the product you want.

Rule of thumb is, if it seems way cheaper than it should be, that’s because it is!

The best way to avoid buying a “modified” product is to check the model number of the unit on the manufacturers website.  If it shows up as slightly different (even by one number) or not at all, don’t buy it!
