Party like it's 1999

Flash back to the dawn of the Internet retailing age in late 1999 and early 2000. Remember the free or massively discounted stuff, free shipping, and other crazy deals? (How many people got Pets.com to ship them a 50 pound bag of dog food for free?)

Well, those days are mostly over, but I did stumble across an impressive shopping deal, just in time for Christmas. Microsoft Live Search (tagline: "please use my search engine, pretty please, I'll pay you") is currently running a promotion that offers a whopping 25% off items you purchase on eBay using Buy It Now.

You have to use the Microsoft Live Search engine and follow the Cashback links. Read carefully and make sure the cashback badge follows you all the way to your final transaction.


Of course there are restrictions and it will take some time for your money to show up, but where else are you going to get this kind of discount on such a broad array of products? Looks like this is the year we finally get (and keep) a DSLR!
