Online shopping in Korea is quiet popular. People use internet to not only compare price but order any product from grocery to... whatever you could possibly think of. You can even use the waiting time of subway to do a grocery shopping with your smart phone and receive the delivery in the same evening (Homeplus: Subway Virtual Store).

Few days ago, there was a series of limited time sales event on the shopping website, auction.co.kr. They sold the 31,500 won (28 canadian dollar) logitech wireless mouse for only 8,900 won (8 canadian dollar). I thought it was a good deal and apparently other thought so too. limited number of 5,000 mouses were sold out within 30 minutes. Luckily, I was able to purchase it for the price that I will never see again. I was overjoyed to get a descent product in such a price- and once again, felt blessed to have such a blessed market-consumer system (shipping usually don't cost!).

One thing though, I started to doubt if I really needed a mouse after all.
