Technology offers can often be found in online shops, but also in the brochures of various supermarkets and discounters. But they are not always good for something. TECHBOOK therefore regularly looks for the best bargains and reveals which deals you should grab.
Every week, consumers are overwhelmed with deals from retailers like MediaMarkt and Saturn, but also discounters like Aldi and Lidl. There are also numerous supposed bargains on the large online platforms such as Amazon and Ebay. Keeping an overview here and not overlooking the really good deals is not that easy. That’s why TECHBOOK checks the technology offers from the largest online retailers and explains where the best bargains are currently available.
Overview of the technology offerings
This makes TECHBOOK a good technology offering
Large percentages do not always mean a good offer. The starting price is often based on the manufacturer’s recommended retail price (RRP), which is usually very high, so that the discount looks particularly large. In reality, other retailers often offer the device at the same or even cheaper prices. TECHBOOK therefore only includes bargains in the comparison that really offer the lowest price from all retailers.
By the way: Amazon Prime Day will take place again on October 10th and 11th! TECHBOOK puts together the best technology offers for you in one ticker.
Another criterion is the quality of the product. Real bargains have to be worth something. That’s why TECHBOOK only presents articles that have impressed a large number of other users in terms of features and usability or those that the editorial team has already tested and found to be good.

This is what you need to know about bargains
Technology offers come and go very quickly, many items are only available in a very limited number. Even if the offers are advertised in brochures for a week, it is possible that they are already sold out before then. When shopping, also pay attention to possible shipping costs, which are added to the purchase price. Not all retailers generally offer free shipping.
The offers are often also available from other retailers, because Amazon in particular is constantly scanning the market and adjusting the prices of its products to those of the competition. This also works the other way around. If you find a good price online, confront your local retailer and ask for the same discount. This strategy is particularly promising for large electronics markets. This may also save you shipping costs. It is also worth using a comparison portal such as Idealo.de* or Geizhals.de before buying and see whether the product is available cheaper elsewhere.
