    Been looking for a new phone, fancied a new Sony xz pro.

    But being a tight arsed ****, there is no way I'd fork out 600 quid for a phone. Found them on Amazon for less than 250. There has to be a catch, so scrapped the idea, was I correct?

    Any online shopping tales. Horror stories, bargains. How good is it actually, as I'm a novice to this.

    As long as its a decent seller with a good returns policy then it's worth a punt.
    Also for pikeys like me, I always look for a deal online, so check Groupon or Quidco

    I do more online shopping than actual shios mate

    There are things to be careful of but no different to going in-store these days

    I buy my phone's off places like gearbest etc which are Hong Kong or china based. It takes a while but no problems so far

    I buy my phone's from there too. I buy the xiomi rednotes which are better than most Android phones available in UK and the 5 I currently have cost £145 and is brilliant compared to Sony and even the new Samsung's imo

    Paypal etc are your friends

    Thought you'd know all about this. I'm a total novice.

    Just a guess, the price difference might be down to the storage capacity and other features.

    Whatever deal the provider is offering. My son’s iPhone 6 cost me fack all and I pay about £20 a month for it (although he gets very limited data as I don’t need to be spending money so he can watch ****ing morons play Fortnite on it).
