The Sharper Image

Sharper image is alright. They have a lot of interesting gadgets in there (I suggest the giant robotic monkey head with controlled facial expressions) and the service is pretty good. However, that being said, everything in there is extremely overpriced and the selection isn’t that great. I got a $ 100 gift certificate from there one christmas and decided to use it to buy a pair of new headphones for my i-​pod that I could wear while I run. Not only did they not have a decent pair of headphones that were suitable for running, but the one’s they did have were comically expensive. I quickly left that store and went over to borders and purchased some great headphones for about $ 15 that I still use. These stores are cool places to look around in, but actually buying something from there is a whole different ballgame.
