Follow this checklist and you'll be prepared to make a smart, safe purchase on Cash Converters.
Learn all you can about the item. Read the item description carefully. Do you understand all the details about postage, insurance, payment options and so on? Avoid making assumptions about details that aren't included.
Research the item's value. Look at similar completed Cash Converters listings, visit online stores that sell similar items, ask friends, and determine what the item is worth in any other way you can think of.
Decide the maximum you're willing to pay for the item. Use the information you've gathered so far (taking into consideration how much you want the item, how difficult it will be for you to find another one, how soon you need it, and so on) and come up with the highest price you're willing to pay.
Consider Buy It Now. Does the listing you're interested in have a Buy It Now option? If so, consider whether you are willing to pay the Buy It Now price in order to guarantee that you get the item and that you get it right away.
Make every bid a serious one. Don't bid on multiple similar items from different stores if you only want one. You could end up the winning bidder in more than one auction!
