DealExtreme: 4-in-1 Pen/Laser Pointer/LED Light/Stylus $4, MSI Tiny BT Adapter $9...

[AndrewRFD]

I posted this to the front page yesterday, and it looks like it's having a pretty good run there, so... take a look at this roundup of of gadgets from DealExtreme.com.

DealExtreme.com is a Hong Kong based seller of electronics, gadgets, toys etc. that has been well received here in the past (see here for example). All prices are in US dollars but just about everything has free worldwide shipping. The only catch is that since items are shipped from Hong Kong, delivery can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks.

With that in mind, here are some deals on some funky and or useful items:

• 4-in-1 Stylus Pen (Pen, Laser Pointer, Stylus, LED Flashlight) - $3.79
• MSI Tiny Bluetooth V2.1 + EDR Adapter Dongle (Vista Compatible) - $9.35
• Microfiber Screen and Glass Cleaning Cloths (6-Pack) - $1.98
• Retractable iPod Data/Power Cable USB - $2.13
• Wilderness Survival Fire Sparkle and Blade Cutter Tool - $5.90

If these don't interest you, there lots of other items that probably will, so have a look around. Remember, shipping is free.

I gotta stop checking their site... right now I am waiting for 3 seperate shipments. I kept on finding more neat stuff the more I poked around the website and with free shipping on virtually everything how can you resist? I usually bookmark what I like and when I get enough items I place the order through with my co-workers as well.

Yes great site, I have ordered many items and only one time an item arrived broken, after contacting them they shipped another no questions asked! A++

Nice post, that 4-1 pen sounds neat.

I also love dealextreme... damn site is addictive

[Goonish]

I too love DX. I've found some great deals on there in the past and would recommend them to anyone.

Better yet, it seems like shipping's gotten way faster too from the first time I ordered there months back.

First time I think it took about a month. This time just a week and a half!

Too bad it seems like they are phasing out the lighters, I was gonna buy a zippo knockoff

Another round of applause here, to dealextreme... they have excellent stocking stuffer gifts.

One thing though - we had ordered a blister pack of 50 button cell type batteries and received them a while ago (as in, 6-8 mos. ago.) We used some, and they worked fine.

Last night, my daughter and I were sitting down and we heard a tremendous POP like a huge firecracker going off - it was so loud! We heard something hit the ceiling, and then it crashed and tumbled around on the floor - upon looking at the little silver item, we saw it was a battery that we had kept in an open container where we keep our batteries. I have no clue what happened to it - it wasn't near heat, or anything. I am so thankful none of the kids were hit by it as it exploded because it was such a sheer force! We were only about 4 feet away from it. Upon looking at it, you can see the entire outside edges exploded out. This is the second time in my life I have heard a battery explosion, and it's pretty weird to witness. I think I'll be throwing the remaining batteries out - it might be a fluke thing, since previously the other ones that exploded were a brand name, but in case they weren't made with high standards, I'd hate to take any chance. I swear, a person would be blind if that had hit us in the eye.
