Sudden idea! People keep asking me where they can get various bits of knock-off tat. My response is nearly always "Keep an eye on Ebay", because you can't reliably find them at normal retail outlets. Well, I've now put together an Ebay links thing which shows you auctions for various items of interest.

Please note that I am not selling these items personally - I am just providing links. In theory I should receive a tiny commission if any of them sell, which I can put towards site hosting / buying more review tat. (I think if 15,000 people buy items I get 4p, or something.)

US viewers get to play with this pretty widget thing, which showcases specific excellent things I've found:



Whereas UK based viewers have to suffer the insultingly low-tech alternative of clicking on these search links:

KenSingTon Viis ("Chintendo")
POP Stations
Barcode Battlers

Bit of a blow for the UK there, especially as we seem to have a better selection of knock-off tat locally. Hopefully Ebay will enable its widget thing for non-US auctions soon, because Blogger doesn't like their Javascript alternative.

Anyway, I'll see how this goes for a bit and if anyone actually uses it. Cheerio!
