If you find a best buy, or special bargin, list it here. Include the posted date. If you find a deal is gone, do not delete but simply note the fact under posted -- some deals come back and it can be useful to see where they were even if they are not there now. Be aware that some may not be the highest quality, the cheapest is not always the best buy, but lets be aware of this and not rag on it.
