• We continue to be baffled by Amazon's ridiculously low prices on cookware recently, like this Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 6-Quart Sauce Pot with Lid for just $14. They must have over-purchased for the holidays. [via Slickdeals] Update: Reader Kim L. confirmed that the price is showing as $40 for her. It still shows $14 for us (although they are out of stock). A mystery!

• Eddie Bauer is holding a 60% off winter sale on clothing for women and men, as well as ‘gear.’ The online outlet follows suit with an additional 5% off.

• If you squeeze your shopping in this morning, Gamestop.com has free shipping until 11am PST for orders over $75. Use code: 3DAY75.

• And since it wouldn’t be indicative of the hopelessness of fighting the American cellular telephone hegemony to complain about a company on the same day you post a deal for their product, Cingular is offering the RIM Blackberry 8700c for $150 with a $150 rebate with a (probably two-year) contract.

• Today’s Woot!: A 250GB hard drive for $55. Not a had deal at all if it were new. Unfortunately, these drives are refurbished, and god knows what happened to them before Woot got them in stock. We’d say pass—hard drives are fragile enough as it is.
