Let me admit this and get it out of the way: I am a sucker for value and good sale! This time of year I spend some time on Amazon looking for great end of the year sale items. I almost become a shopaholic, buying stuff that I never use. Such as the carpet cleaner that is still in its box three years later. But I digress.
Besides spending money, it is sometimes quite funny to see what winds up on Amazon's hot sale list. I think the system is automatic and is gamed by vendors by putting stuff on sale that no regular merchant would ever do. A couple of years ago there was a Chinese vendor selling chain there that weighed hundreds of pounds. I can just imagine someone putting that on their Christmas shopping list!
So here we go with an item that just caught my eye as I was looking for an HDMI monitor to hook up to my HDMI microscope for electronics work:
