Let this be a lesson. Overpriced junk with a label may sell well in the fashion world, but electronic/consumer goods need to be competitively priced. Period. Newegg gets it. DealExtreme, TigerDirect, Amazon, countless others buried Sharper Image, but they killed themselves. ]]>Jun 26th 2008 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sharper-image-will-continue-to-hawk-crap-only-as-a-brand/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sharper-image-will-continue-to-hawk-crap-only-as-a-brand/
