A TV ad for an online buying program suggests that products can be purchased at a huge discount.  They give examples of $800 flat screen TVs and $600 stand mixers being purchased for only a few dollars.  And while this all sounds great, there is also a disclaimer at the bottom of the ad stating that these prices are not typical.

As it turns out, this is an on line auction site so if no one bids on an item, you could get a really good deal.   But there is no guarantee of a low price.  In fact, you could actually end up paying more for a product if you are not careful.  Caveat Emptor.
