(ARA) - Computers have become a staple of every student's education. Reports are written in word processing software, research is conducted on the Internet, and even class registration can be done online. And, computers are contributing to the social aspect of every
child's life. Students can make friends online with those who have common interests, they can check to see when their favorite band is playing in town, or they can even create a personal fitness schedule. Is it any wonder that your child will want one when school begins?
For students, going back to school involves some kind of shopping spree, usually with your money. Your child will need new clothes, a new computer, new school supplies, new everything. How do you accomplish this without burying yourself in debt?
If it's a new computer your child needs, then check out online auction sites, such as uBid.com, that sells brand new computers, printers and modems. Most auctions start at $9 and are backed by
manufacturer warrantees -- a novelty at other auction sites. Plus, uBid carries brand name products such as Compaq, Hewlett Packard, Sony and more, allowing you to buy those other "necessities" that your child might need, including stereos, digital cameras, or
DVD players. Many auction sites, including uBid, sell everything from house wares to clothing, so you can furnish your entire home and wardrobe without ever paying full price for a single item. But, make sure you're dealing with reputable sellers. Head
