17. Don't be shy to call the company who produce it. Collect more information is a must.
18. Love limited product and want to be the only one who have it? Think to buy it imported from Japan. They like to make lots of limited products, and so many limited version gadgets there. But you have to provide more money for the same product.
19. See the review at the magazine. Make sure the magazine you read is fair (don't receive money from the manufacture to write something good about the products)
20. If you buy the home appliance electronics, make sure it fits your house. Why waste money if you don't have storage to save it?
