These products, even on sale, aren't worth your Internet time.
For those looking to save money on blenders, cameras, clothes, laptops and a million other things we love to splurge on during the holidays, Americans invariably turn to Black Friday and Cyber Monday to quench their oversized savings thirst. Luckily, we’ve stumbled through the Cyber Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday dross of discounts to bring you a cautionary tale of the most dreadful deals out there. Buyer beware!
Sharper Image SBT5005 Lava Lamp with Bluetooth Speaker 17.5"
Sale Price: $69.99 Original Price: $100
You’d be hard pressed to find anyone under the age of 30 who has visited a JCPenney store in the last couple of years. The declining retail giant was once a cornerstone of malls nationwide, but has seen closures in recent years, including seven this calendar year. Naturally, their Cyber Monday Deals leave something to be desired, with the sale items resembling a garage junk sale from 1980. Take this Lava Lamp Bluetooth Speaker for instance. Who’s buying this? Either your super nostalgic uncle, or your 13-year-old son who just put up his first blacklight Bob Marley poster. It’s made by Sharper Image, which, if you’ve ever bought anything from them, you’ll know this self-proclaimed “funkadelic” Bluetooth speaker probably has a life of about three months. This kid's disappointing "I don't know what this is," at the end of the above clip says everything.
