7-Zip is a free open source file compression software that is much better than more well-known ones, like WinZip and WinRAR. It lets you compress and decompress various file formats easily and quickly. This is definitely something you want to have at your disposal, if you are always downloading and/or sharing files. I have been using this software for years now and have had no issues with it. Highly recommended.

I have been using this handy clean up utility software on my PC for years now. It does what it is supposed to do flawlessly. You can quickly and easily get rid of unnecessary junk that may be slowing down your computer, like temporary files, cookies, old registry files and so on. With a few simple clicks, all of your junk files will be wiped away. There is also a cellphone app version that will do the same thing for your phone. I have also been using the cellphone app version for a while and it is great, just like the PC one. You can choose to use either the free version or upgrade to the premium paid version for both your PC and cellphone. I have been using the paid version for both my PC and cellphone, so I can honestly say it is great and worth the small licensing fee you pay for them. The free version works just fine, if you don't care about or aren't interested in the little bonus perks of the paid version. Either way, you will be cleaning the junk out of your PC and cellphone with no effort at all.

The Anime Corner Store is such a great place to buy all your anime and manga-related products. They have reasonable prices, good sales and promotions from time to time, exceptional customer service and a wide range of products. The website is simple, yet very easy to navigate and looks nice. I have been a customer of theirs for around 16 years now and always love doing more business with them. They definitely deserve it. If you are looking for an all-around great and reliable place to get your anime and manga fill, definitely give them a try. You won't regret it.

Before joining this survey taking website, I read some positive reviews, so I went ahead and signed up last December. At first, everything went smoothly. I was getting a lot of survey taking opportunities and was able to build up my points. Had enough points to cash out on 2 separate occasions. Once for $10 and the other time for $15. Not a whole lot, but extra cash is always nice. Then, for some strange reason at the beginning of this month, I was no longer able to redeem my rewards points. Kept getting an error message that said "We cannot validate your phone number. It is already being used." I thought that was very weird, since I'm the only one who uses the phone number and it has never changed. So I emailed customer support and all I was told was that my phone number is associated with a deactivated account. I was confused because I don't ever remember doing anything to get my account deactivated. Never once used a VPN, broke any of their rules in their terms of service agreement or any other shady/bad things. When I asked them to let me know what exactly I did to get my account deactivated, I simply got no reply. That was almost 2 weeks ago now. I decided to give them 2 stars, since I was able to make a little bit of money from them. Otherwise, I would have only given them a 1 star rating.

Blowout Cards is a great place to satisfy all your sports trading card and memorabilia needs. They offer tons of different sports cards, sports memorabilia items, trading card games (like Pokemon and Digimon), trading card supplies and non-sports trading cards (like Marvel and Star Wars). Their prices are reasonable and competitive, so you will get good deals on what you buy. They also run sales and promotions throughout the year, so that means even more good deals for all. I have purchased 3 times from them since last August and can safely say they are really good and legit. Very happy with their service. Go ahead and try them out, if you are looking to buy some sports or non-sports trading cards or sports memorabilia.

Last year, I kind of got the itch to get back into collecting sports cards again, for the first time in many years. So I stumbled upon this business' website after doing a Google search. So glad I found them, because they offer a great selection of sports cards and memorabilia at reasonable prices. They carry trading cards for all the major sports, some less popular sports, trading card games (Pokemon and Digimon) and miscellaneous entertainment trading cards. You can also purchase autographed cards and memorabilia, too. They have nice sales and promotions running all the time, so you will find a great deal or two all the time. Also, they buy certain things from you, like sealed boxes/cases of sports cards, single cards (both vintage and modern), autographed sports memorabilia, comic books, video games, vintage toys and sealed trading card boxes and single cards. So far, I have purchased from them twice and both experiences were awesome. I look forward to doing more business with them in the future.

If you are in the market for buying sports trading cards and are looking for a reliable source, Steel City Collectables has got you covered. They offer a wide selection of baseball, football, basketball, Hockey and other miscellaneous trading cards, like Pokemon, Digimon, and other sports and entertainment trading cards. There is always some kind of good deal or promotion they are offering/running, so you are sure to find a great deal on something that catches your eye. Their prices for what they sell are very reasonable. You can also sell certain things to them, like sealed sports card boxes or cases, single cards and autographed items. I have made 2 purchases from them so far since last December. Both experiences were great. I highly recommend you check them out, if you are looking for great deals on sports trading cards.

Last year, when I was looking for a place online to sell some old DVDs and blu-rays for some cash, I happened upon this website. EagleSaver buys your old books (not text books, though), DVDs, blu-rays, audio CDs and video games. Don't expect to be able to sell every single thing you look up in their trade-in values search engine. In my personal experiences, I was able to sell around 90-95% of all the items I was looking to sell to them. Everything that I read on the site sounded good and legit, so I decided to give them a shot. I typed in all the items I wanted to sell and got trade-in values for each item. They offered me more than I was expecting, so I finalized my trade-in order, printed out my shipping label and boxed up my stuff. Everything went smoothly because their website is super easy to use and navigate. After they received and verified all my items, I got the quoted amount deposited into my Paypal account. I was very happy with my overall experience with them, so I went back and sold things to them 3 more times after the initial trade-in. An added bonus is that they pay for the shipping cost of mailing your trade-ins to them. You have the option of either printing out a pre-paid FedEx shipping label or choosing your own favorite shipping method and get reimbursed for the shipping cost. All in all, I am very happy with my experiences using their service. I highly recommend you check them out, if you are looking for a nice and reliable place to sell your old media items for cash.

Playasia is a good place to buy a lot of Asain pop culture items, like anime, manga, figures, merchandise and music CDs. Their site offers a lot of products that you can browse and purchase at reasonable prices. The website is laid out very well and is easy to navigate and nice to look at. Page loading times are great, with minimal lag. They have all sorts of sales and promotions all year round, so be sure to sign up to receive their newsletter. The cost of shipping is reasonable and the time it takes to get your stuff is rather fast. I don't recall ever having any issues when buying from them over the years. They are my second go to place when I want to buy things like Japanese import anime and music CDs, after CD Japan. So if you want a place that has a wide selection and are reliable for your Asian pop culture-related needs, feel free to give Playasia a try.

I have been doing business with Tiger Direct, on and off, since 2008. All of my interactions with them have been positive. They offer a lot of computer-related products at reasonable prices. Honestly, not as good of deals like Amazon or Newegg, but still pretty good. They have sales and promotions running all the time, so you might find a nice deal on something you are looking for or maybe even make some impulse buys. The website is modern and laid out very well. Navigation and page loading speeds are both excellent. You can sign up for their newsletter to stay informed on all of their deals and promotions. For the most part, their shipping costs are reasonable and the time it takes to get your items is pretty quick. On the customer service side, I have had a great experiences in the few times or so that I have had to contact them about a problem or inquiry. They helped me out in a very satisfactory manner. Whether you are a casual or hardcore PC builder/enthusiast, Tiger Direct is a good option to satisfy your computing needs.

I have been a member of theirs for about 8 years now and have really enjoyed using their survey taking service. It is a very easy and guaranteed way to make a little bit of extra cash or redeem for gift cards. Throughout the years, I have redeemed for quite a few gift cards and some cash. So far, I haven't had any issues with them. The only drawback is the frequency of the survey taking invites and the length of time it takes to receive your reward after redemption. In my experiences, I usually get around maybe 6 to 10 survey invites per month. However, the points you earn are good per survey is generally good, so it somewhat makes up for the infrequency of the invites. As for how long it takes you to get your rewards, it takes 4 to 6 weeks for you to receive your reward after redemption. Their rewards delivery time is much slower than other similar survey taking opportunities out there. So if you don't like waiting so long, then you might want to look elsewhere. Although, I am not trying to steer anyone away from them. They are an excellent and reliable way to take survey for rewards. Sometimes, you have to be a bit more patient with certain things in life. So don't fear and give them a shot.

DK Oldies is an excellent place satisfy your video game needs. I have been a customer of theirs, on and off, for around 9 years now. All of my experiences with them so far have been great. I have purchased used classic games, accessories and have also traded in some things to them. Their retro-ish looking website offers a nice selection of classic to current games, consoles and accessories at reasonable prices. You will be able to find a little bit of everything there. You can also sell them all your old games, consoles and accessories for either cash or store credit. There is a section on the website where you can find odds and ends, like rare items and merchandise. A plus for collectors and fanatics alike. They have a newsletter you can sign up for free to keep up up to date on new products and sales throughout the year. In the customer service category, they score high. They have been very courteous and helpful in my personal experiences. All in all, they are a great place for your video game needs. Go ahead and give them a try.

This is one of my top choices for purchasing computer components and accessories online. They offer an excellent selection of all the things you need to build your very first computer or are just looking to upgrade some parts. I would say it is a computer builder's paradise. The website is very modern looking, laid out very well and looks sharp. It is really easy to find what you are looking for either using their search feature or their drop down products menu. They always have great deals and promotions running on all sorts of parts and accessories. If you know how to build your own computer, this is a great place to save money on the individual parts that are necessary. I have purchased a lot of computer components and accessories from over the years. They do also offer many other products, like electronics, automotive products, video/PC games-related items and entertainment furniture. But they are most well known for their computer-related products. There are third party sellers on their website, like those you see on Amazon, so if that is something you are interested in, it is available. I haven't purchase a whole lot from third party seller there, but have had no problems when I have. Just like on Amazon or eBay, I guess your experiences will be a hit or miss sometimes. Unfortunately, that is just the nature of the beast. All in all, I have generally had very good experiences with them and highly recommend them to anyone.

I stumbled upon this nice little website last year, when I was looking for a place to buy some Japanese import CCG (collectable card game) cards. They have a pretty decent selection of CCGs and other merchandise, like apparel, keychains, plushies and figures. The website's design and layout is very simple, but very easy to navigate. Their prices are generally reasonable, so you are bound to find a good deal on something that catches your eye. I have only purchase once from them, but definitely will buy more from them in the future, because that experience was excellent. They gave me several free CCG cards as a token of gratitude, which was awesome. I can tell they genuinely care about their customers. It was a simple act of kindness, but to me, that is one of the things I really appreciate. It is great supporting niche and independent businesses like them, because they truly deserve it.

Lukie Games is a great online retailer for all your video game needs. They offer a wide range of classic to current video game products. Looking to build a classic video game collection?

You can accomplish all these things on their website. They offer competitive prices on their products and stand behind them. If you ever have a problem, they will take care of you. They also have various sales and promotions throughout the year. You can trade-in your old games, consoles and accessories using their trade-in program. I have personally used this in the past and really liked it. They gave me a good deal for all the things I traded in. One of the cool things on their site is a section dedicated to rare video gaming items, like games and accessories. They are expensive, but if you are a hardcore collector, that probably doesn't matter as much. The website itself has a nice and simple look and layout, so it is easy to navigate and find what you are looking for.

I am a big fan of eStarland. They are a great all-in-one place online to get your video game fix. You can find lots of classic to current video games, consoles, accessories and merchandise. They offer a little bit of everything. The prices are really good, for the most part, and they offer sales and promotions throughout the year. If you have old games, consoles or accessories lying around unused, they have a very nice trade-in program that you can take advantage of to earn some spare cash or store credit. They also offer repair services for select gaming consoles and electronic devices. I have been a customer of theirs since 2009 and have had nothing but great experiences with them. Every once in a while, I still go back and purchase things from them. If you are looking for a great and reliable place to get your gaming fill, go check them out. You won't regret it.

MyAnimeList is one of the most popular and well known anime information-related websites in the vast seas of the internet. You can accomplish many things on their website, like keep track of what anime or manga you have seen/read, what you are currently watching or reading, what you want to watch or read, find information on various anime and manga, stay up to date with current anime, manga and other Japanese pop culture news and tidbits, chat with other like minded fans and join or create fan groups. I have been a member for around 5 years now. Don't really use their service anymore, since I prefer another similar service, but that is not to say that they aren't good and reliable. Just a personal preference. Go ahead and give their website a quick test drive, if you are looking for a good place for all your anime and manga-related information and needs.

Overall, Swagbucks is an all-around good survey taking opportunity for those who want to make some spare cash or get gift cards in their spare time. They are one of the better services I have used and tried for taking surveys. Their website has lots to offer for voicing your opinion and getting rewarded for it. Promotions and special events are common with them, so you will have a good amount of chances to earn more points throughout the year. But as with other survey taking gigs, you are not going to make a fortune doing this. However, you will be able to make a fair amount of extra money or get gift cards, if you keep at it. You are not going to always going to be successfully completing surveys left and right, so don't give up. I personally have been taking surveys on their website for around 7 years now, so I can safely say that they are legit. Don't recall ever having any bad experiences with them over that time span. Worth giving them a shot, if you want to express your opinions and be rewarded for it, when you have some time to burn.

I have been using this website for around 7 years now to check out all the cool artwork and fan art of anime, manga, video games and original content. There are tons of skilled artist from around the world that post their creations for everyone to look at and admire. If you draw and create works of art yourself, you can post your own stuff on the website. Other things you can do on the site are: join fan groups, support your favorite artist(s) by purchasing things from them and making monthly contributions and some other related things, like a subscription membership where you can get the ads removed from the site and support maintaining their website/service. I personally check out the site quite often to see new artwork that the creators I follow have posted and to discover new artist/creators. Definitely worth trying out, if you are a fan of art, especially art that is related to anime, manga and video games.

I stumbled upon this website last year, when I was looking for a place and way to earn some extra cash for selling my unused computer parts that were just lying around. Did a quick search on their site to see what I would get for my parts and decided to give them a shot. I am glad that I did. They offered me reasonable prices for my parts and even offer free shipping. As a bonus, they will even supply you with free boxes and packaging to ship them your stuff, if that is what you want. You can't go wrong with that. After selling my stuff to them, I received my payment within a week. Very happy with the service they offer. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to sell/get rid of unused computer parts for some quick, extra cash.
