Everything is overpriced. :frown: I was expecting another dealextreme.

[QUOTE=MUFC2007;23941370]I'm assuming it uses the UV light to kill bacteria.[/QUOTE] If the wand is really for killing bacteria, well... something seems a little off about using radiation to kill shit on the food I'm about to eat.
I remember reading those magazines and laughing my ass off on how they're ridiculously expensive they were.

I love reading Skymall magazines on planes, it helps past time :]
Wayyy overpriced. DealExtreme sells money clips for about $3.50.
Would much rather prefer DX over this shitty place. Thanks, but no thanks.
I'm assuming that most people in this thread (especially those referencing DealExtreme) have never been on a plane. I love looking through the SkyMall catalog on a long flight. Reading about all the stupid gadgets is a fun way to pass the time.
I could make a money clip for about 10 cent.
I could make a money clip, out of a paperclip! Where is your God now? 110 buck...my ass... A laser guided pool cue for - $130 A cigar holder with built in humidifier for - $60 Slippers with a built in flashlight for - $40 An electric scooter that has a cooler for a seat for - $500 WHO NEEDS THIS SHIT???
I always read these for kicks on airplanes.

This is all the cool shit you wish you had. This is a place where you can actually get it.
this is what rich people spend their shit on. they know it's pointless, it's just so they can say 'lol i can afford a $300 glowing wand'
These Sky Mall magazines have a niche purpose as well, you can wedge the magazine into the seat in front of you. That would prevent the person in front of you to recline. Giving you more legroom!

A laser guided pool cue for - $130 A cigar holder with built in humidifier for - $60 Slippers with a built in flashlight for - $40 An electric scooter that has a cooler for a seat for - $500 Cheap ass solution to this crap. Laser guided pool cue, go to the dolar store and buy some electrical tape and a laser pointer for $3.00, assuming you have the pool cue let's say that 1 is $10.00. Tape the lesser pointer to the pool cue. Voilà, a laser guided pool cue for $13.00 cigar holder with humidifier built in it: scratch the humidifier that's useless, take the box you bought the cigar in and place cigar in the box. For added effectivness use some electrical tape to seal off all the cracks. Total price is around how much the box of cigars was, but you where probably going to throw the box out so this is priceless. Slippers with a flashlight on them: take your grandmas slippers, a flashlight, and some electrical tape or duct tape. Now place the flashlight on the slippers and repeatively tape all around the shoe and flashlight, don't tape around the button though. Total price is around $5-$20 depending on amount of tape, slippers, and flashlight. Electric scooter with cooled seat: take you old sit mower, rip the blade on the bottom off, then rip open the seat, take the fluff out of the seat and fill it with a bag of ice, now restuff the seat with as much fluff as you can and duct tape it shut. Final price is around 50-100 depending on the lawn mover. These are all fun to make and alot cheaper than this stuff, though they all are ment for rich lazy people. [editline]01:51AM[/editline] Also as a ultra cheap solution to the slippers take a kleenex box, ruffle the Kleenex around inside or leave it at the bottom, then tape a flashlight to the side. As a bonus you can use some grip tape on the bottom. Total price is around $6.00
