Weird things for sale- Check!

I was just trying to cull some old blog posts here, I discovered that we are honored to have been featured on the obscure "Weird Things for Sale on the Internet" webpage, since at least 1993! Where does the time go? ” You may scoff, but I think these little hobby pages, tucked away in subdirectories of their ISP, little known, are the oregano in the great spaghetti that is the Internet. It just wouldn't be the same without it, but no would be able to put their finger on exactly why.

No after-sale offers... Consumer Alert!

Watch out for this when shopping online! Sen. Rockefeller's committee has been looking into the practices of post-transaction marketers for months. The practice Rockefeller is going after involves the pop-up windows that appear on some e-commerce sites after a customer has completed a transaction. The pop-ups offer a coupon or some other incentive, but once a user clicks through, he can be automatically enrolled in a club that automatically bills his credit card for a monthly membership fee. We don't have after-sale offers, when you finish buying what you have in your cart, we are done. Also applies to mail and phone orders. Personally I hope they throw the book at these crooks, besides it's bad for business when other online sellers are ripping people off. P.S.
