X-Men: Days of Future Past and the Future of Shopping

I used to collect Marvel comic books and trading cards when I was a kid. I had like a gazillion of them left in my room in perfectly mint condition. Then when I was away for college, we had to transfer houses. My mom, who packed my stuff, didn’t know the value of my collection at the time so she left them all in our old house for the movers to do god-knows-what with them.   I was devastated for weeks so I decided to switch my collection to anything digital as it 1. saves time and boxes when you have to move condos and 2. they’re accessible anywhere and I wouldn’t have to worry about them getting left behind again.   But the recent film adaptation of X-Men: Days of Future Past sparked nostalgia in me and I just have to have a hardcover copy of it. Sure the film was pretty awesome but they did change the story quite a bit and I just want to read (and own) the original again. The kindle and paperback copies simply will not do for this fan-boy so I checked out the local Filbars stores if they have it in stock. Obviously, I was not the only one that wanted a copy so they were all out and they have no idea when they will have them again. This means that I have to get the copy online which is what I should have done in the first place.    

At Amazon, X-Men: Days of Future Past costs around P1700 including shipping vs the P2000+ local Filbars price. The price difference isn’t much compared to my previous online purchases but I am able to get the item when I wanted it. Also, because I used GCASH American Express® Virtual Pay. I was able to have it shipped right to my doorstep without paying for any extra fees.

I have always gotten the best deals by shopping online! I’d say that it is simply the best method of shopping in this day and age. Gone are the days when we are limited to the options provided by our local stores and hoping that a nice relative abroad would send you stuff that are not available locally. Also gone are the numerous requirements needed just to own a credit card. If not having a credit card stops you from enjoying this convenient, digital age-way of doing transactions, travel bookings and buying things, just whip out your phone or go online and click your way to your own GCASH American Express® Virtual Pay card.  Click here to learn more.
