and who didn't buy that portable usb charger from beyond the rack for something like $12? At least ~10 of my peers, me included, bought one! It is, literally, the first time some sort of ads works for me and my friends. I think the way it worked is 2-3 of my close friends bought one, so it started to pop in my feed too, I bought one and it continued to jump to our friends feed.

"beyond the rack" seems like one of those sign up clubs. Do you have to pay a subscription fee with them?

What is a "portable usb charger"? A 12v car adapter or something else? Did it really cost $12? Who makes it? Did you pay for shipping? I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out if your comment is sarcasm or not - to me $12 seems like a lot of money for something that doesn't have a brand name guarantee behind it.

I may just be completely off base, but I'm confused on why this was such a great deal.

Sorry, no it was not sarcasm. It was from nomorerack not beyond the rack. I did not pay for shipping, not sure about the brand, etc...

it's an item equivalent to this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141025286801?hlp=false&var=

not sure if same brand or not, it was tagged at ~$40 on nomorerack, with the special deal at $12.

it works well and I'm really happy with it :)
