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 phone may be old and analog, but I don’t want to spend the prize on a new phone.
    So why a voice recorder? It is not for me, it is for my husband. Because he needs this for his current activity in his school. I want to make his schooling easier by giving him this. So he can concentrate in listening to the lecture, and take down notes while recording the lecture so he can replay it and listen to it again anytime. His schooling requires a lot of note taking and does have lots of important topics to remember.

    I hope that I get to win this for him.

    My phone’s acting up and I really really need my mobile phone for doing business while on-the-go, to connect with my family, and listen to my fave audio books & inspirational speakers. :)

    I saw my son a while ago reading this article so I have thought of joining this contest too. I just don’t think im violating a rule, or do i? hehe. I have always heard my son singing infront of this computer with music played on youtube, I wonder of he would be happy to hear better music through this speaker system. If ever i got this, i would be happy to sing with him too. :)

    Hi! I wanted to have an Ainol NOVO 7 Paladin, and it’ll be my first time to have a gadget like this. Why? I’m an incoming fourth year student and recently been hired as a Social Media Advertiser. I actually not that good in organizing my to-do list and arranging my schedules; and the fact that I belong to the male kingdom, my being organized at things and in taking care of things suck. So I wanted a planner/organizer, that is something digital. It would really help me living in two both worlds— college, and employee life. Hoping to win! Thanks!

    As a freshman engineering student, I am exposed mostly to digital cad editing and 3d modeling lessons. Unfortunately, my current onboard graphics card (via chrome) gives nothing but disappointments. Rendered outputs don’t show as expected so most of the time I still have to rent a pc with a decent graphics card to get these things done.

    If ever i got this one, I won’t need to rent a pc anymore, and so i won’t spend a lot of money because of that. :)

    As an IT student, I badly need an external hard drive to keep all my files. My laptop is already filled with all my files. Plus, it would be an awesome graduation present for me! :)

    I think this is a least priced branded tablet in the market. I really hope so.
    I need to get a tablet so I can continue with my future IT exams I am pursuing since it is hard to study via reading e-books with a pc which is quite heavy where a tablet is lighter and can be brought anywhere so I can use it as an aid in studying. Hope I’d win. Thanks

    I would really like to have a tablet because my laptop died because too many blackouts ruined it. This tablet could keep me going when another blackout comes around, since there’s no laptop anywhere near 5000 php.

    Receiving a tablet for my graduation doesn’t cross my mind. With yugatech, it is possible. And now “abe” will make it come true. A very good starter for a “techie wanna be” like me. Thank you and more power.

    I’m not really techie, but I want to win this Fuji Instax Mini Camera for my younger sister! She’s been saving up for this one for the longest time but her allowance is just not enough. It’s about time she gets one for herself cause she definitely deserves it. :)

    This was the first ICS tablet in the country and i haven’t tried the ICS ecosystem yet. I really want to this device because i really want to feed my techie hunger for some ice cream sandwich. This will be my best opportunity to taste it before summer vacation starts. Android rocks! And this will badly rock my world!
