The Real Secret To Quickly Buying An Electric Scooter

If this doesn't get you excited, then nothing will! Electric scooters can be bought for sometimes as much as 50% off if you can be a little patient and know where to look. Electric scooters are incredibly fun these days and seem to have taken the world by storm. I see several of them all the time riding up and down my street here in Houston, and I've read that they are popular in many European countries.

Many people don't know that there is a way to get your new electric scooter a discount using an old tactic in a slightly new way. It's called price comparison (and a little bit of patience). Yes, this is an old tactic, but it still works. And it works well. The internet makes it easy to do this as long as you put in just a little leg work. Here's how I would go about looking for a new electric scooter.

1) Start at Froogle.com. This is Google's shopping search engine, where you can look for whatever you need. Try searching for "electric scooter," "electric scooter sale," or even "electric scooter discount." This should yield an impressive number of electric scooter retailers competing for your business. Write down the best prices and deal you see.

2) Run the exact searches on regular Google.com. Pay attention to the right-hand side ads. Generally, the right-hand side ads are "sponsored ads" in which vendors pay a lot of money (often over $1/click) to place their ads on the right side of the results for the specific keyword they bid on in a sort of virtual keyword auction. Visit some sites and write down the best deals you see here.

3) Run the exact searches on Yahoo.com. Pay attention to the right-hand side sponsored ads. Yahoo owns Overture, which handles its pay-per-click business. Often you will find different vendors advertising on Yahoo than on Google. You want to compare as many other electric scooter companies as possible. The more, the better. This is why it is worth visiting Yahoo, not just Google. Visit some sites and write down the best deals you see here.

4) Now visit E-bay and run a search for "electric scooter" and "electric scooters." Write down the results and watch some auctions for a week or so. Write down the prices you see things being sold for. You can usually press the "watch this auction" on MyEbay as a bookmark to watch all the sales for particular items.

5) Come back in 2 weeks and do it all over again. At the end of this, you will know that you've done a lot of research and will see where the best deals are.

Overall, I wouldn't be surprised if you could save more than 50% on a new electric scooter doing this. After all, you did the work: you are entitled to get paid for it. There are more tricks than this, and this isn't all of it. But it's a start to getting you your new electric scooter.
