Whats wrong with this idea ? i cant figure it out Assuming “Case A” peter is a usual guy he makes a standard salary and with his little earnings he can only wait for products to go on sale so that he can get some discount on the Ps3 he so much wishes to buy. “Case B” a retailer has had some stock for some time and he wants to make a sale but he is not confident that he will get enough sales. He is not confident that enough people will know about the sale. Both case A and case B need each other but there is no connection. Well case A and B should not worry anymore because the solution is here. On the other hand once in a while the seller makes a decision to make a sale for his product the main idea of this online business is to unite Case A and Case B, this way making the customer happy and the client too.

@Edward very promising indeed. I have a question though: according to their site,
If the required number of people signs up then the deal tips! Only at that point will we charge your *credit card* for the deal. Once the payment is completed you will receive the voucher by email.
What I'm wondering is, if they don't get the pre-requisite number of customers, and they've already received the money (via Mpesa or Zap in this case), do they refund the money via the same channels or other channels are used? If they use Mpesa/Zap, who incurs the transaction charges? -- Thanks and Regards, Erick Njenga Nyachwaya, M: +254-725-008-790 <http://www.facebook.com/ErickNjenga> <http://www.twitter.com/ErickNjenga>

In their TOS they talk of refunds. I think, though, they should award credits or something, if deal does not tip. On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 4:27 PM, Erick Njenga <eriknjenga@gmail.com> wrote:
