The truth is many customers (oddly) will buy something just because it's discounted! This is how sales can generate sales and compel people to buy non-relevant stuff. Those of us who recognize that we're spending in net more irrespective of getting good deals shy away but there's always been the coupon-crazed folks out there who've never understood this logic. It's the same logic that propels Costco to sell you way more than what you need. I suspect you don't use coupons or shop at Costco, but many do :) This makes me, while extremely anti-daily-deal-sites, begrudgingly acknowledge that they do have at least some viability. (note that "some" does not necessarily mean the valuations they've been receiving...)
