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!

    My youngest brother just graduated today from High School, as a gift to him, I want to win the 5000 worth of eGC from Multiply and buy the Marshall Headphones Major. He really loves listening to music from early in the morning until up to sleeping time at night.

    I could say that i badly want this item because I want to experience the difference of having a LED monitor and have a better viewing experience.. Currently we only have a CRT monitor for our PC and can you believe it is already 10 years old? This was the monitor of our first PC but the CPU eventually cant sustain the needs for the programs.. so eventually we bought a new cpu but we recycled the monitor.. We have this belief that if it ain’t broke then what’s the use of buying a new one right? But I’m already bored of viewing these quite dull colors on the CRT so i want this samsung LED monitor.. So when I read that there would be a giveaway like this, buying a new monitor was the first thing that popped in my mind.. I already joined multiple giveaways in the past but was unfortunate on winning.. So I would be greatly thankful if I would be picked as the winner of the P5000 shopping credits..

    More power to Yugatech and Multiply.. =)

    Since my computer is very slow due to the large amount of files, I’ll be needing an external hard drive. This 1TB Seagate is perfect for my use. :D

    Simple lang naman ang gusto ko. Makasama ang lola ko para maalagaan siya ng mas mabuti. Ayaw pumunta sa bahay namin ang lola ko sa simpleng dahilan, bulok na yung pc ko. (oo nag co-computer ang lola ko.) Monitor ang napili ko dahil simple lang naman games na nilalaro niya. Yung monitor ko ay de pihit pa sa ilalim na lamang lang ng onti sa black and white. She spends her day playing educational computer games for kids. We tolerate her doing this kahit na medyo bad na yung eyes niya para at least ma delay yung progression ng Alzheimer’s disease niya. Gusto ko siya makasama dahil andun lang siya sa bahay niya at walang kasama magisa. Sana ito maging daan para mapabuti siya.
    I am really hoping to win.

    Since na wala kaming video card at built in lang sa motherboard ang monitor namin. Napili ko itong graphics card na ito sa aking mahaba habang pag hahanap ng exact price or lower than 5000 at kakayanin ng motherboard namin, wala po kasi akong pambili ng pang upgrade sa aming pc since na student palang ako makakatulong na din po ang simpleng graphics card na ito sa pagpapawala ng lag issues sa aming pc. God Bless sir abe! :D

    Hi Sir Yuga and Multiply, Nasa college na po ako at magka-college na rin po ang kapatid ko. Parehas po naming kailangan ng desktop computer para sa pag-aaral namin. Kung mabibili po namin ito, maghahati na kami dito at di na po namin kailangang lumabas pag-gabi, magstay sa mga classmate, o magrent sa internet shop. Gusto rin po namin subukang magblog at magtrabaho online. Kung mapipili niyo po ako, di na din kailangang gumastos ng parents namin at kung papalarin, makakatulong pa kami sa kanila. Sana mapagbibigyan nyo po ako na makuha ang http://pclifeguard.multiply.com/products/listing/10081/Budget_Basic_Home_and_Office_PC_-_powered_by_Intel_Atom.

    Ang hanap ko po talaga ay relo ngunit dahil 5k po yung eGC sulitin ko na po Sir Abe.. Pag iipunan ko na lang po yung strap pra maisuot ko.. Nareview ko na rin po kasi ito dati kaso wala akong balak bumili kasi di kaya ng budget ko.. Sobrang importante po kasi sakin ang oras kaya kahit mumurahing relo na replica sinusuot ko gamit ko lagi, Compared naman po sa ordinaryong relo mas marami pong features yung gadget na ipod, Mahilig din po ako sa musika kaya sulit na sulit po talaga at sobrang swerte kung ako po yung papalarin mapili.. Sana talaga ako ang magwagi..hehe!(positive vibes) sana sana sana… Thanks po uli sa opportunity. :)

    This is the bang-for-the-buck ICS Tablet. My dad got one and it is a very good android tablet, we don’t have to buy a Galaxy Tablet. The reason why i want to buy this tablet is that, its a really good tablet. Its light, fast, and slim. It doesn’t lag on how i play HD games or play 1080p movies on it. The battery is good. And i hope you will do a very good review so that everyone will know that Ainol Novo 7 Aurora is the best bang-for-the-buck ICS Tablet
