OK so Spiegel is kind of like the mail order version of Sharper Image. Basically common every day stuff you can get anywhere at much higer prices.
However there is a 30% off entire order coupon floating out there somewhere for those of you with "fatter wallets" and the discounts end up being rather nice. Just an example:
"GameCube Bundle"
1 Nintendo Game Cube
1 Standard Nintendo Controller
1 Super Mario Sunshine
1 Super Mario Sunshine Stratagy guide
1 Wave Bird wireless controller
Normal Spiegel price: $301.95 with standard shipping
Spiegel after coupon price: $218.25 with standard shipping
Average Brick and Mortar price: about $250 after tax**
"Sony Dream System DAV-C450 Home Theater"
Normal Spiegel price: $521.00 with standard shipping
Spiegel after coupon price: $371.30 with standard shipping
Average Brick and Mortar price: $538.49 after tax** ($499.99 retail)
**Please note that when I calculated the tax I included tax for Southern CA of 7.7%
It also looks like there is no sales tax too (well for at least CA residence as far as I know) so the deal is a bit hotter. They also sell some rather big ticket items like Sony WEGA TV's and big screen HDTV ready TV's.
Hope this is of interest!
