Item a day stores

Single Item Online Stores. They are popping up everywhere, which ones do you like?

I'm talking about sites like Woot!, Steep and Cheap, and I just discovered One Gourmet Goodie. There must be others.

Best answer: I spend entire paychecks at SAC - a Serfas Aria for $37.50?! There's also Shnoop.

Best answer: A newer one is Tanga.com. They also have a daily puzzle, which are too difficult for me to figure out before my attention span runs out.

Best answer: Maczot! is for Mac software only.

Response by poster: Thanks for the tips so far! I wonder how many of these sites can stay afloat.

That's a screaming deal for that saddle, kcm.

I think they tend to buy remainder lots on the cheap (i.e. liquidation). Much like some eBay stores.

Woah... Tanga's FAQ has possibly the best non-answer I've ever seen on a commercial site:

Q: Why is your deal only available for 24 hours?
A: Because 24 hours is a full day.
