Catch of the Day (CotD)

Catch of the Day (www.catchoftheday.com.au) is one of those retail websites that has a special that runs only for a day. Each day they post a new item or sale that is usually at or below the cost of any other online source (other than eBay, etc.).
The trouble with these sites is that the item for any particular day could be anything and there is no forewarning about what is going to be on sale in the upcoming days. Therefore, you need to either check the website each day or subscribe to an RSS/news/push feed to keep up to date with the current sale. Also, since there is usually only one or small selection of items, the current sale might not be attractive to everyone.
It is the equivalent of an online impulse rack at the checkout of a bricks and mortar store.
Recently, CotD had a sale of many different items all on the same day and all with a single capped shipping charge for all items purchased in the same order. My sister was buying a few things and asked me if I wanted anything as it would all be under the one shipping charge.

I couldn't resist.

Over the next few posts, you will see reviews of most of the items I bought. Some of them are quite good. Some of them are quite bad. Some of them are downright tacky.

Anyway, I'll start the list off with the first item, - Schwinn quick attach bicycle cargo rack.
