- refurbished Amazon Kindle for $110
Refurbished (not new) Amazon 6" Kindle for $110 with free shipping.
This one runs on Sprint's network, so it only works within the US.
Compared to most other ebook readers, the Kindle does not emit light so it is much easier on the eyes than most other devices, especially reading in the dark.
In comparison, a new 6" Kindle runs for $189, or a 9.7" Kindle for $359 and work on the AT&T network.
Downloading ebooks incur no service fees (other than the cost of the books, typically priced around $10 or less), but using the Kindle to surf the web or do other services may run up some charges.

- Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote Control $148
Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote Control for $148 today, which is about $35 less than what most other stores sell it for.
It is the cheapest price we've seen for this really good IR remote control.
It has a recharging tray, easy to program or learn remote codes, touch screen, motion sensor, and pretty good quality.
Here is a nice video review.
Amazon.com
- LG 42" LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV for $664 (expired)
This model (42LD520) dropped in price because several newer models are available.
Summer is when new electronics products are released, and there are plenty of new HDTVs with new technology.
Some have LED-backlit for local dimming (as opposed to regular LCD which have a uniform brightness across the screen), and some have built-in networking for web browsing, weather reports, and watching streaming videos directly from the TV.
This is good news for someone looking to buy an HDTV and does not need the latest technology.
As always, be sure to read reviews before buying since some models have dropped in price because they are not selling well.

- Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth Headset for $74
This is a great headset, probably one of the best Bluetooth headsets you can find on the market today, and a great value at $74.
We grew tired of trying several Bluetooth headsets only to be disappointed with the sound quality on every one, until finding this one.
It has mostly stellar reviews, excellent sound quality, and the device charges while in its carrying case.
Average usage will require a carrying case recharge about 1 to 2 times per week.

- Sandisk Memory Card Reader for $10
About $5 more than most other cheap memory card readers, but we used this for 2 years without any problems.
It's a little more durable than other readers, and supports Secure Digital/SDHC and MicroSD/MicroSDHC cards.
Again, not the cheapest one around, but for $10 we found it handy when kept in a laptop computer bag, for transferring files from a camera's SD card to a computer.
For $2.50 more, the same reader with RescuePro Software is available.
The software can recover some broken data from memory cards, whether lost by data corruption or accidental deletion.

Average users will want to recharge the carrying case about twice per week.

- Ecotones Duet Sleep Sound Machine for $100
This actually looks useful for someone who lives in a city apartment where street noise can make sleep difficult, or perhaps for someone who just has trouble sleeping.
While $100 sounds pretty expensive, the cheapest we can find this elsewhere is around $150, and it has superb reviews.
It works by adding a smooth sound of your choice, like rain or waves, and increases the intensity when it senses outside noise.
More details and a product demo are available.

Amazon.com
- Seagate 640GB Portable USB Drive for $80
Seagate Expansion 640GB USB Portable Drive for $80 ($0.125/GB).
Most other stores sell it for around $110.
They say it's a portable drive because it powers itself through its USB data cable, but at 5.2 x 6.8 x 2.2 inches it is a bit larger than most other portable drives.
In comparison, a Western Digital 1TB USB Portable Drive is 5.0 x 3.1 x 0.6 inches, and has a lower price per GB ($0.105/GB) through today.

- Vizio 22" LED LCD 1080p HDTV for $268
A brand new Vizio LED-LCD M220VA 22" TV with 1080p resolution for $268 with free shipping.
Standard shiping takes about 3-4 business days to arrive.
Free in-store pickup is also available (with a 1-2 week wait), which could be very useful for someone who cannot ship to their workplace, and no one will be home during business hours to sign for the package.
At only 22" in size and 14 lbs in weight, it's somewhat portable and takes up little space, probably a good buy for a small room, a bedside TV, on an office desk, as a kitchen counter TV, or for tailgating.
The specs are really good: 0.75 inches thick, 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 5ms response time, 2 HDMI inputs, 1 VGA (computer) input, 1 component video input, USB port for viewing JPG photos, and 1 year manufacturer's warranty.
More details and additional product images can be seen on Vizio.com.

Amazon.com
- Garmin 260W GPS for $100
Really good price, considering most other stores sell it for around $150.
This is an older model with similar features to the new ones, but with a slower processor.
All Garmin GPS models ending in 0 are older models, and those ending in 5 are newer.
That being said, it does have really good reviews.
