“Great URL shortener, but it looks like they are closing :(”

4/5/18

A great way to shorten urls but the website says they will be closing soon. Something about them transferring the product to be firebase dynamic links... I'm not so sure about that. They recommend using bit.ly for now..

Tip for consumers: They say the product is closing in April, switch to bit.ly

Thank you

Eastman Kodak

“I remember when they were the greatest”

2/27/18

So sad to see them become... Well. Average... They were one of the camera greats... It looks like the brand was sold and they are making cameras. I hope they can recapture some of their former glory.

Thank you

Banana Republic

“No knowledge on bananas”

2/27/17

The clothes are OK though. I do agree with another reviewer that it's cute stuff for young hipster types. Not so much for an oldie like me!

Service seems to depend on the shop you choose.

“Pricey but good.”

10/10/16

I think the headsets are a bit pricey, you may get better value elsewhere (IMHO) but the build quality is OK.

“OK products, but cheaper alternatives exist.”

2/27/18

Professional photographers tend to use high quality products, as a slight (or significant) premium in price is justifiable.

Personally I prefer the cheaper flash triggers from Godox.

Marantz

“Marantz make great audio products.”

2/27/18

Most people haven't heard of them though. Which is a pity! I purchased some used HiFi equipment from them and was amazed at the quality of sound.

Tip for consumers: You can get great deals on used Marantz equipment at eBay.

Best Buy

“They are OK”

9/30/16

The rewards program is neat (I've forgotten what it's called). I think you have a longer time to return, and various other benefits if you are a member.

Nothing wrong with best buy but I prefer Amazon.

Bose

“Overpriced.”

10/2/17

Bose products tend to be overpriced. I believe there are better products out there from smaller brands that cost less.

That said, their products aren't bad, and tend to deliver the bass most people expect (not too sure on the other frequencies).

Please note, I'm no audiophile!

eBay

“OK for buyers... not too sure about sellers”

3/17/17

EBay is reasonable OK for buyers, and PayPal usually resolves most issues. As they side with the buyer, the seller may not get the best deal. Selling is surprisingly expensive.

Tip for consumers: 1. You can get good used items from reputed eBay stores. Example: Roberts camera for photography needs.
2. Do note, PayPal may offer protection for up to 6 months. This was useful when I didn't receive an item and eBay protection had expired. PayPal refunded.
Edit: PayPal is a different company. I think?! But they are connected to eBay (not certain on this!)
