What do you guys think of a weekly feature where everyone posts all the really, really bad deals they have seen throughout the week? Ive been struggling with a good name for it. Something that gets across what the feature is just within the name. I dont want anybody to post stupid things like 'I hate EB, they always have bad prices' but instead say what 'deals' where something is sold above RRP or comically priced items.

Sounds like a good idea, I have no idea what you would call it though, probably something simple like Ripoff of the Week

Rips of the week?
Who are they Kidding?
Priced to Not Sell?
AntiBargains?
Even last year, that would be expensive?

Or something simple, like "Overpriced"?

'They saw you coming'

So this would be posting stuff like how I saw a copy of Wii Play (game only) on eBay starting at $60?

I quite like "Who Are They Kidding"

Im not really keen on anything along the lines of rips of the week because I feel like that will invite people to say things like 'harvey norman is always a rip off' which isnt in the spirit of the feature.

Keep the ideas coming. HeDanny and Charlie, you both forgot to mention if you liked the idea Cheesy

And yes. Something like that on eBay is fine. Anywhere really. Online store, local, auction, where ever.

as do i. it's light-hearted, and specific to the deal in question.

I'm up for this idea - also alongside that we should post the cheapest deal we can find in comparison to slam these jokers even more.

I like the "Who Are They Kidding" name.
If we see an awful deal somewhere, we could just take a photo, seeing as 90% of the population have camera equipped phones, and submit it.
It brings a bit of light hearted fun to the site, I like it Cheesy
