Stuff I like: Gilt Groupe
I was raised to be a bargain shopper- that is, to never buy anything for full price if I didn't have to.
Cue internet shopping- there are naturally things like eBay and Craigslist, and some strange services that claim to offer steals of >$1,000 USD in return for pennies on the dollar (typically with some sort of strings attached).
I'll admit that eBay occasionally offers excellent deals, and Craigslist is fine if you're looking for local merchandise that's more likely than not been used.

They advertise as an "invite only" service- and to some extent, that's true. If you'd like an invitation, feel free to drop a comment with a way to contact you and I'll get in touch.
