A few notable new deals:
The Asus Ee PC 4G is going for $257.20 (27% off). I tend to question whether limited-time deals on items like this really work (I can't speak for others, but while I might occasionally have $15 for an impulse buy, $250 is pretty serious money).
That said, even a factory reconditioned 5-quart Kitchenaid mixer at $160.64 (57% off) would be tempting if we hadn't gotten one as a wedding gift.
In the TV on DVD area, you can get any of the first four seasons of Nip/Tuck for $14.95 a pop (although for some reason, the combined pack of 1-4 is still going for $172.99). That's 75% off.
For those who like their comedy slightly less gruesome, you can get any season of Gilmore Girls for $14.99 each (75% off), as well.
And finally, although it's never been my cup of tea, you can get seasons 1-3 of Two and a half Men at the same $14.99 a pop (67% off in this case).
ETA: Bonus non-Amazon deal. DeepDiscount (which is currently running their 25% off sale -- use the code "DEEP" at checkout) has the four Lethal Weapon films for $11.79 total before the discount. That takes it down to $8.84, or $2.21 a movie, including shipping.

By giving them a bit of savings, they grab something they know they wanted and can afford at that price, but who might think through the purchase with more time and care if it were the original, what, $350?
BTW: Thanks for these little rundowns - It's always fun to see what's on sale.
