Everyone’s heard of eBay, but where else can you go to buy tech things you want?

uBid.com is an auction website, similar to eBay. It has auctions for other thing besides technology, but computers and cellphones are its main focus.

Online price-matching websites can be incredibly helpful if you’re shopping for technology online.

Search engine Google flexed its Web-crawling muscle and created Froogle at froogle.com. Just enter in what you’re looking for and Froogle will surf seller websites to find you prices and locations. You can arrange the results in a lot of ways, from cheapest price to lowest shipping. Mysimon.com and pricegrabber.com are also well-regarded price matching sites.

AOL, Yahoo! and MSN all offer their own shopping sites, but the choice can be limited compared to the price search websites.
