2TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim USB 3.0 Portable External HDD for $70 (many colors)

With holiday travel and more photo-ops, more storage may be needed. If so, help is on the way at the Trending eBay Deals, where NewEgg’s eBay store is offering the new condition 2TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim USB 3.0 Portable External HDD for $70 with free shipping. It is available in four different colors with a limit of five per customer. If you are fond of color-coded back-ups, it’s a party 🙂 Over 1200 units got sold so far.

This looks like it has been price-matched at Amazon by Amazon itself where it is available in five different colors with a limit of five per color (not sure if it’s five per color or five total)… UPDATE: it looks like it is five per color, I added five of two different colors and it shows a $700 total (ten times $70), however I did not place the order, so I don’t know if there’s a snag there. This is poor blog, can’t be buying things by the ton like Consumer Reports just for testing purposes 🙂

Woot: pay $5 flat shipping once, everything else ships free until 12/14/15

Woot.com is trying a new shipping fee experiment. Anything you buy between now and December 14 in 2015 has a one time $5 shipping fee. You only pay shipping once during this time period, no matter how many items and how many different times you shop there. It’s sort of like a mini-Prime membership experiment. Wine is excluded. This is standard shipping, not the faster shipping methods.
