Amazon currently has the KitchenAid 12 cup food processor on sale for $130, with a $25 discount code (CLEAROUT) and a $20 rebate, for a total of $94 with free super-saver shipping ($85 outside of Washington, thanks to tax). And you can have it in any color you want, as long as it's black.
The regular price on this elsewhere is $200, so this is a steal. I just bought one. Feel free to use the link above to get one for yourself (and a tiny commission for me!). It feels like I should buy a dozen more and then resell them all on Ebay for a profit. I know there are people who do that-- buy a ton of units when something goes on deep discount like this, then resell them on Ebay. Have any SZ readers done that successfully?

Posted by: Larry on January 22, 2007 3:45 PMDitto for me: if I've learned anything about eBay, it's that the site is crawling with people begging to be separated from their money. I've sold several copies of Big Boggle that I liberated from Goodwill shelves (after keeping one for myself), and just recently unloaded a Big Box copy of Acquire for $89.
Of course, the flip side is that if you speculate on this, you stand to lose much more than $2 or $3 for a board game.
