For savvy buyers like Rich White of Best Communications, there are plenty of sweet deals if you know where to look. Roger Noia, also from Best Communications, finds Onsale addicting, and checks the site first thing every morning for the best deals. And for them it's good at the list price. Cheap is the key. Cheap and cool.
Items are usually up for two to three days.
If you place a bid for an item, you can request to be notified by e-mail if someone is willing to pay more than you. Or, you can simply place your maximum bid and forget about it. The Web site keeps a list of the current top bidders for each item. So what if you buy something and you decide you don't want it. You are buying goods that are in a very limited supply.
