I run a pretty lean operation here at Advisorator, so while I often have to acquire more tech gear for “research purposes,” I’m reluctant to pay anything close to full price for it.

Waiting around for deals is one way to defray the costs, but when that’s not an option, I turn to the used, refurbished, and open-box markets. If you know where to look—and what to look for—you can essentially will your own price cuts into existence and still get good-as-new gadgets.
