for the man who has everything

May 14, 2008 by Cash 

(Including a surplus of $10 bills you should probably just send directly to me instead):

I present to you: The Something Store 

Taking a wildly different tack from the net’s ocean of super-focused retailers, SS’s premise is simple: pay them 10 bones, and they’ll send you…something (so unlike with Judge Smails, “You’ll get something, and like it!”). Sounds preposterous, but apparently the mystic geniuses running the site use shady connections to access discounted, unique, and useful goodies from liquidators, wholesalers, artisans, and manufacturers, allowing them to unload it for a low-low price that includes shipping anywhere in the US (benevolence that unfortunately means you won’t be getting an anvil). Encouraging examples of previous deliveries‘re listed on the Something Tracker: Madden ‘08 for XBox, a Perry Ellis Shirt, a dart board, a panini press, and two of the most obviously awesome Hamiltonian deals, $25 gift cards from Target and ExxonMobil — which’ll get you a trunkful o’ tiny mouthwash bottles, and about halfway home from the gas station.

    Ok, I received my order a while ago and was almost too embarrassed to post the results.

    A $6 item ($12 with shipping from the site) for $10. And stupid. Ugh. I might have been able to USE this had each of the two sizes of note not have a faux-Shakespeare signature/picture on each of them.

    Oh well, maybe I’ll just give it to someone I hate.
