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!

    Well, i’m a bit confused on the rules because it says that the item must be around PhP5,000. Is it exactly Php5,000? i found a dslr lens over multiply that is exactly Php5,000 but can’t think of a reason why i want it coz i dont even own a dslr camera. Anyways I chose this gadget coz i also dont own a digital camera, what i use to take photos is my handy Nokia 5800xm.
    Like my phone am a great fan of Carl Zeiss lenses coz it takes great photos plus its a 14mp camera would love to own one in the future to capture my little treasures(my 3 wonderful kids) and by the way “IT’S A SONY!”

    I really want this phone for my mother as late christmas gift.I was not able to get her a phone as promised last december since my own phone was stolen. She never had a phone nor a laptop so this gift would probably nice for her. She usually just ask her students or co-teachers to do the texting for her. She is a teacher and many times people will ask her not having a phone so when i saw this update from your blog, I took a chance and hopefully you can grant this wish for my mom.

    I chose a celfone because there are 3 reasons behind it.. 1.) my mom requested us me and my sister to buy 1 celfone for her kasi di na niya macontact ung papa ko everytime magpunta si papa sa church every sunday. kasi gusto nyang magdate sila ng papa ko after magpunta ng church heheheh :X ..2.) sirang sira na ung celfone ni mama kaya nagrequest sya hehe super old model pa ung 1100 black and white.. supposed to be bibilhan namin sya nung myphone na celfone na worth 1.5k since yan lang muna budget ko (inipon ng estudyante).. dahil may opportunity naman na ganito kung manalo eh di napalucky ko if hindi ok lang rin at least nakasali hehehe… 3.) i forgot to bought a book for my mother (a princess diana book) … kasi nasanay na sya bnibigyan ko sya ng book every bday and christmas eh this christmas di ako nakabili kasi kinapos sa pera kaya yun di nakabili.. ung celfone nalang sana igift ko hopefully manalo.. naiingit kasi siya sa celfone namin …

    Thanks for this opportunity! :)

    Ako ay isang frustrated musikero, at sa hirap ng buhay ay umaasa lamang sa mga hiram na gamit. bilang isang gitarista ay importante ang ganitong digital effects upang medyo maayos naman kahit papaano ang tunog.

    at isang phone naman para sa aking kapatid na nanakawan. simple lang yung phone pero magagamit na rin.

    alam ko mukhang maiinvalidate ang entry ko dahil dalawang items. pero baka sakaling makalusot dahil nasa 5k parin naman ang price nito. hehe

    I want an iPod Touch and it’s my birthday by the end of the month :D

    Since I can’t decide whether to get a digicam, a smartphone, a gaming device or a PMP, I chose this one so I can have it all, in a price (less the 5k disc if I get to win) that I can afford.

    The 32GB would have been good but I know I won’t be able to afford the excess charge. :)

    Medyo maraming reasons bakit gusto ko itong product na ito. One of them is malapit na bumigay yung current card ko, which is a palit 9600gt (i bought it almost 3 years ago. lol) kadalasan hindi na kasi ako umaabot sa windows loading screen during start up at kailangan ko pa i-reseat yung card lagi para lang gumana. Second is student palang ako, so mahirap makaipon ng budget para makabili ng ganitong card sa original price. So malaking tulong na sa akin yung 5k para mabili ko na ang card na ito. It wouldn’t hurt to try, right? =D Thank you for the opportunity. Sana palarin. =D

    My macbook has 2 USB ports, however, since it was placed too close to each other and my SmartBro plugit device is kind of bulky, I can only use 1 port at a time.

    I also have other devices which needs wifi connection (+ PSP and Samsung Galaxy Y). I can’t afford Php5k for this kind of wifi router. With the php5k gift check, I could get this one for free!


  11. http://mcpisolutions.multiply.com/products/listing/10015/G.Skill_Falcon_64GB_SATA_II_2.5_FM-25S2S-64GBF1

    I can’t find any other SSD around Php5000 :( [this one is Php5200]. If I’m lucky, I’m willing to pay for the Php200 difference because I really need a SSD for my becoming slow-oldie-goodie PC, I can’t afford to buy a SSD nor upgrade the PC hardware nor delete anymore files on the present HDD to make my PC faster. And buying another non-SSD HDD won’t help. I need a faster OS boot up and faster Photoshop loading process. This is my chance!

    Summer is near and moments with my family and girlfriend is a must kept! It would be a waste if the beaches we would go to, the smiles on their faces, and the sexy bodies they have are not captured! This camera with it’s multi-scene function, 14.1 MP, 12x zoom, and HD recording will surely provide a clear and crisp image that will not be forgotten.

    I would really love to have this for free for my child!! I’ve been wanting to buy my 5yr-old kid a decent video card because the Core i3 rig that I got last year from my retirement pay (from one of the famous call centers here in the country) didn’t have one. I believe that kids also learn from video games. I’m still saving up for a decent vid card so if I could get this for free, then my 5yr and 3 yr boys will be able to enjoy NFS The Run for sure!! (right now, it’s really running slow bec of the lack of a vid card..) You should see them drift in NFS Most Wanted, Abe!! My wife and I are really amazed at how they learn from these games… They are also playing Starcraft1 (and SC2 starter ed, I’ve yet to find/buy the full version), among other games.. = )

    I badly wanted an external hard drive because I only put my back up files in 1 usb stick and 4 dvd-rw which really makes me hard to do back up and 1 dvd-rw even got corrupted which contains important files on it. :( So, this Western Digital My Book Essential can really save all this burden.

    For a long time now, I’ve been wanting to have my own high quality earphone for use when Im traveling, in the office or just listening to music at home. I hope and pray that this is the moment I’ve been waiting for, that Yugatech (the best pinoy tech site) along with Multiply (the largest online marketplace in southeast asia) will grant me my long time wish so that I can satisy the audiophile in me. :-)


  16. I lost my phone to a snatcher last January (what a ay to start the year). Ever since then I am using a phone from my sister which I sent for reprogramming so that I can use it. It broke down on me once so that I set it again for reprogramming. There is this feeling that the phone can just hang and break on me anytime. So that’s why I am opting for a new phone. Also, I wanted to have the smartphone-android experience, since i think that everyone’s into smartphones these days, so that the entry I posted is the Samsung Galaxy Y. I think that this phone is a good phone to start with in the smartphone arena. Thanks very much.

    This would be my first smartphone and have been saving for this since December! A nice 5k GC would ease the pain for spending a hard earned money :)Great birthday treat for myself as well this April 1st! Sony Rocks! Yugatech and Multiply Love you Both!!! If i wont win, I still do! Lol!


  19. multiply’s website seems to be a resource hog. my browser seems to slow down when browsing that page where your vita was posted.


  20. I wonder how many entries here are real and how many are bullshit…


  21. I have been a multiply user for quite some time since being a stay at home mom has made it very convenient in buying my son’s baby clothes and other baby stuffs plus all my fashion needs. Now, he has grown up and wants to have his own psp after seeing it from a neighbor’s kid. His birthday is up and coming on May so this would be a great surprise for him.
