eBay Daily Deals tests radical redesign on Chrome browsers

eBay is testing a radical redesign of their daily deals page. If you visit their Daily Deals page with the Chrome browser on a desktop computer, you will see the redesign. Think of it as inspired by The Verge design. (I haven't tested most browser/OS combos, so you may also get it with other browser/OS combos). A resized screenshot crop is after the jump as well...

There was a Lightroom 4 special for $99 earlier today, unfortunately I did not catch up with it in time, so it is expired now. If there was one now, the chances are that it will return in the future, as a number of eBay Daily Deal items seem to be recurring. Although not everything featured is recurring, so there are no guarantees. Thanks to S.W. Anderson for this and many other alerts in the past!

Gift Idea: 8GB Nook Tablet for $150 (regular is $200)

This is Dads and Grads season, and Mom's should-have-bought-you-this-instead-of-that season, and if you are looking for a general purpose gift, Barnes and Noble itself is offering brand new 8GB Nook Tablets (latest 7-inch color model) for $150 with free shipping as one of the spotlight eBay Daily Deals. This normally goes for $200. It has half the storage and half the memory of the 16GB model, but for $100 less, it seems to be a reasonable trade-off.
