Buying a Sony PS Vita via the Multiply Marketplace

Sometime last month, the folks from Multiply gave me access to the YugaTech account that was earlier registered by someone else and used as a gadget store. I thought it was also time for me to set up a store there for my used gadgets.

A few weeks ago, they’ve also asked me to hold a give-away to my readers where we will give away Php5,000 worth of shopping money on Multiply.

But before we do that, I had to check out and try the Marketplace myself. So, I scouted for a number of gadget stores on Multiply and looked for a gadget I still don’t have. The target — the Sony PS Vita. The price — Php12,500.

All this time, I was wondering how the Multiply Shopping Cart works when most of the sellers I see there are posting items in the form of a photo gallery.

After checking out the cheapest price for the PS Vita, I contacted the seller so I can order it via the shopping cart and use the discount voucher that Multiply gave to me. Widget City was selling it for Php12,500 (WiFi-only, US version).

The whole process was quite easy and fast — I was done in under 30 seconds and paid immediately via Paypal. Anyway, I’m hoping to get that PS Vita tomorrow and be able to write a review later.

Okay. We’ll also give away the same Php5,000 worth of eGC from Multiply to our readers. Here’s what you need to do in order to join.

1) Check out the Multiply Marketplace and look for any item (gadgets I guess) that’s worth around Php5,000. The item needs to be part of the shopping cart and not just a photo gallery entry.

2) Copy and paste the link of your desired item in the comments and tell us why you badly want it. That’s it!

Multiply will help choose the lucky winner who will win the Php5,000 shopping credits. Contest starts now and ends March 25 31. If you chose an item over Php5,000, you’ll need to fork out the difference and have to spend the voucher by March 31.

Start shopping here now!

    I want to win the Canon Ixus Camera because I am using my cellphone in taking picture and the photo quality is not that good because it doesn’t have a flash. I so wanted it to post good quality picture on my blog and Facebook

    Hi Sir Abe,

    In your instruction, it wrote that the item have to be in the shopping cart. Does that mean that we have to press the buy now button to put it in our shopping cart? But if we press the buy button, are we committed to buy the item? Please clarify on this. Thanks a lot

    I want this as a gift for my daughter as her birthday is fast approaching. She has been telling us that her friends had a lot of cellphones which are touch screens. Her cellphone is a hand-me-down from me which was a hand-me-down from my husband. I know that she’s at a stage when classmates compare with each other and I don’t want her to be put down so I hope that I could win this as a birthday present for her. Thanks!

    I’m not planning to buy any hi-tech stuff for myself but I need extra funds so I could soon send a very simple “gadget” that would definitely put a smile on my father’s face. I want to get him a 24-inch LCD TV.

    After he had a mild stroke, my father had to retire from his work and become a home buddy although he didn’t want to be one – not just yet. Apart from cooking and fixing home fixtures, his favorite things to do these days include watching PBA games, watching the news, and watching (and cursing over) the impeachment trial of the Chief Justice.

    Unfortunately, his beloved 15-year-old Sanyo Tube TV ‘died’ last week. He lamented over it like he lost a son. He got so disappointed and depressed. Right now, he tries to find things that could eat up his free time like walking round and round the neighborhood. I really badly want to buy him a new TV by the end of this month and I think this 24-inch LCD is just perfect for him (he doesn’t want to watch on the bigger ones because he says it hurts his eyes).

    Maybe you Sir Yuga and Multiply could “chip in” for it and cover half the cost please. :)

    Well for one I don’t have a headphone, but also since I saw the review on this I wanted to get one but was too expensive. I even tried your New year contest but wasn’t lucky enough to get it. Hope this time I will. Thanks.

    I have really wanted to own an Android tablet ever since, for my studies. Working with tablet means that I won’t be always bringing a laptop for creating and showing presentations, bringing books since they’ll be on eBook format. And also, since it’s running on ICS, I can finally experience the life of ICS (which I can’t on my current phone, since there’s no sign of it being ported.)

    Thanks in advance Sir Yuga!

    Multiply has been a part of my high school life – being able to write blogs and post vanity photos of me and my friends. Now my brother’s graduation is coming up and I really want to give this Nokia Asha 302 as my gift to him. He always bugs me to buy him a Nokia C3 for his graduation gift. Now is my chance to surprise him, if I ever win this contest. Multiply will then be a big part of my brother’s high school life. :)

    I would like to purchase this tablet because of your review here on this site. As I believe I can enjoy the experience without having to splurge on the price. At the same time I would like to enjoy buying stuff at Multiply, which could encourage me to set up my own shop and contributing to the marketplace.

    I really wanted to have my own digital camera that i can take every single day, anywhere! my friends have their own cameras so almost all my pictures are just copied and saved to my usb. I really want a camera so badly, to the fact that i don’t have a camera (my phone nokia C200 has a cam but not as clear as a digital camera shots!) I know winning here is impossible, but there’s no harm in trying. Hoping to win the impossible!! :)

    Hi Sir Yuga! Sana this time manalo ako. I want this digicam. Been missing lots of moments in our lives (me, my hubby and our son) because my old Sony digicam has retired 3 years ago. I couldn’t afford a new one because you know, there are more important things to set aside money for (son’s starting school this june). Hence, asa na lng muna sa mga contests (at sana manalo.)

    Thanks for this opportunity Sir Abe, and to Multiply! :)

    I want a cellphone and the best one around 5000 pesos is a Nokia Asha 303. I currently have an old phone which was given to me around 2007. It’s an LG Prada and it really old already so I need a new phone. That’s why I chose a phone.

    I’ve always wanted an Android Tablet at a very affordable price, so I bought an Apad and I was disappointed in my part. So now I want to test how these Chinese Droids would be at the palm of my hands I like to replace the worst tablet I ever had, Apad to Ainol Novo 7 Advanced 2

    PS. My earlier comment has no link attaached so I made a new one with the same details, are my chances of winning still on the go? Thanks Sir Yuga
