To All, Cheapskate alerts: Both Deals and Flamingo have a coupon with YesRX which can give you up to $100 off a $200 purchase. It is a weird accounting scheme, but a good deal if you need what they got. UDECO is offering $25 off $50 for home furnishings. I found it a tough site from which to extract hard info, like price, size, etc. But there is no doubt they have some nice stuff. Eve.com is offering $10 off $10. On another note, I have been visiting E-Bay lately. Some of the bidders are sanity challenged. They are paying more for used products from someone they don't know than I am paying for the same thing new from a store. For example, I bought a Barbero tie on Bluefly (no Leo, I do not get a kickback, though I do think it is a good idea the fly folks should consider <g>) for $39.95. True, they retail for $95, but that still doesn't tell me why someone on E-Bay paid $42 for the same tie, in excellent condition, but not new like mine. And that doesn't even count the rebates I get from Ashford or Bluefly Visa.
