Official "Where can I buy this locally?" Thread

[HonestTea]

Does anyone know where I can find a good 13" laptop case for under $25? I'm looking for cute-ish designs or pink in color, rubber or hard case with a matte finish(if possible). It's for a Macbook.

Tried Richmond Nightmarket and couldn't find a decent one.

Thanks.

Going camping so I'm thinking of picking up one of these:



where can i find this?

Check out Aqua Paks. They're simpler to use (washing face/hair) since it's just a ball valve.

Army and Navy and CT should have them. Or get the 5gal style, since it's heavier duty and reuseable.

Voila, new tank filled up with propane.

When I went, I got a brand new tank in exchange. After I use up the propane, I go to Superstore - cheapest place for refill. Whenever that tank expires, I will go again to Home Depot to get newer tank.

That's a good trick if I say so my self.

I think its cheaper too if you get your empty tank filled at a station rather than exchanging your tank.

HAH! Then you'd be in competition with all the other "recyclers" cruising down our alley everyday.

Where's a good (and relatively cheap) place to get car wash products like Meguires in Richmond?

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check them out

I talk with my girlfriend on the phone often and holding a small cellphone for a long time is uncomfortable, plus the fact it is usually plugged in the wall charging and my cable isn't that long so it gets kinda snagged if I move too far, and lastly it gets too warm against my face.

Thanks, kinda pricey at $40 vs DealExtreme, but hopefully there's an upcoming sale on electronics I can take advantage of and pick up locally.

Although I guess I could do a bluetooth earpiece or just a wired headset... Having an actual handset just feels nicer.

My and my gf had the same problem, we talk a lot on the phone, cell phone all the time, the radiation isn't good for the brain

Im sure you guys know you can pop a pop corn with 3 cellphones around it

So we decide to get Bluetooth, got it at DealExtreme for like $10, decent one, not bad, plus, both our hands are free, and we can do something else too. Also, when the phone is charging, we can still talk as the distance isn't limited to the charging line.

Bluetooth is a safe technology so it is perfect Consider one!

you do know it's a hoax right? if it takes a 1000W Microwave to pop the corn after 1 minute of heating it, how will a several mW peaking cellphone signal do anything to it?

Oh, is Bluetooth safer than cellphone radiation? I didn't wanna be one/am not of those radiowave-paranoia tinfoil hat quacks, but I figured if I am getting a headset anyway might as well be better safe than sorry and go wired.

Go for Bluetooth. Get one from Nightmarket, make sure you test the quality first trying using it before buy,

if you want to spend 40 dollars, i'd get a jawbone.

edit: nevermind they are 90 dollars

Jawbone is considered one of the top bluebooth makers.

If you want a nice one, definitely consider it

but if you want a cheap one get it at nightmarket

[sonick]

Ya this will solely be used at home so don't need anything fancy.
