NY Times: Online Deals for Holiday Shopping: Buyer Beware:
So far this year, The Wirecutter and The Sweethome have researched 54,000 holiday deals. Theyve found that only a bit more than 300 of them less than 1 percent are worth your time. When we find a deal that we think is good, its a needle in a haystack, Ms. Cheng said. Were super-excited when that happens.
Kind of anti-news, we know that this sort of "discounting" is just consumer manipulation, but amazing that they didn't find many loss leaders at all.
