Hagglezone.com
If you're growing bored with eBay and other online auction sites, maybe you should challenge
yourself on Hagglezone.com. The gimmick here is that you shop here for electronics, toys and
other stuff, but then you can negotiate the price using a different personality. You go back and forth
with the seller and try to drive the price down. If you don't get the price you want, change
personas and try again.
