Get something for nothing.....well $10

http://www.somethingstore.com/ will send you something for $10. What they send is a mystery. It's kinda like the wootoff bag o' crap, except this costs more.

Somethingstore doesn't charge any additional shipping and some of the items they have recently offered are a RC Speed Car, Starbucks Gift Set, and a Clock/Calender/Weather reader.

This site is obviously off to a good start and rave reviews, as the LA Times says "Why don't you just get yourself a little something...something?"

I can't wait to buy something!
