Best Bargain ever
Posted in Hardware on May 9, 2008 at 2:27 pm
My shopping trip to Maplin today hauled a 500Gb seagate USB disk (as out of space due to a metaboli.co.uk subscription). That was not the bargain of the day.
As I was at the checkout I was asked “Do you want this USB Business card scanner” .. for £2.30 ? (RRP £69.99) I said. Yes. And its great. I needed one anyhow (Its almost impossible to keep up with ever changing security company vendors, account managers etc) without one. It now replaces the old paper filing system I had. And for £2.30 represents the bargain find of the year.

That is truly a fantastic bargain! - you wouldn’t manage to get a gadget of any worth for less that £20 normally I would have thought so well done!

Being a typical woman (in some ways at least) I love a bargain. Good for you!

Yes, this was a one off. The scanner wasa Genius ColorPage-BR600.
The disk was the cheap 500Gb external seagate (as it was a reasonable price for the capacity).
