For some reason, I was struck by either the product, or the business plan—three very interesting online stores:
SmartFlix [1]
For those of you who are into DIY (Do It Yourself), a website where you can rent thousands of How-To DVD (Digital Video Disc)s.
Heavy Ink [2]
This is right up Jeff's [3] alley—a place to buy comic books (all 20% off) with free shipping. As the owner of the site says:
Yeah, we lose big money on the person who orders one comic book.
… but the value proposition is so simple and compelling, that we get tons of customers, who soon start buying enough stuff that it's, on average, worthwhile.

CatGenie [5]
We already get flushable cat litter, but this … wow! We won't even have to do that anymore.
