But most of you wont. There is this fairly new store out there and it deals with consumer electronics.... 1 at a time :)

http://www.woot.com is a store that changes it's 1 product each day. Today they have a Razor Boomslang mouse. Tomorrow? Who knows. It's a kinda cool little gimmick, and makes repeat visitors out of half that visit I'd guess. Pretty good

No. Well not really. If you buy something you donâ??t end up liking or you have what marketing people call â??buyers remorse,â?
