    Hoopstick.com - An Online Store With A Twist

    hoopstick

    There are as many online stores launching daily as seconds in a day. For such an enterprise to be truly successful, it is necessary to add something fresh to the equation. This is exactly what the Hoopstick folks have done: what sets this store apart is that only one item is sold per day. This is what is termed the “Stick of the day” in the site’s parlance.

    The main characteristic of the price of the day is that the price changes constantly, following market conditions and the existing supply and demand. This means that if you have the patience to wait, you can have items at truly discounted prices.

    The prices are refreshed every 15 seconds. As far as shipping and handling is concerned, the price is specified underneath the item’s price, and it never changes. Once a price that tickles your fancy is displayed, you simply hit the “Stick It!” button and purchase it instantly.

    The main page also includes a sizable item description alongside a pricing history chart that will let you analyze the way that item’s price has fluctuated, and try to predict when would it be a good time to place your order.

    In their own words

    “It's a 'deal a day' site selling consumer goods with dynamic pricing, based on our supply & your demand.”

    Why it might be a killer

    It provides an interesting shopping option for those who have the time to follow a product the whole way through.

    Some questions

    How do I register? Will more than one item at once be featured in future revisions?
