Offer, offer

Every working day, I walk past this shop. Twice. Once on the way to work, and once on the way back home. Every time, there is this announcement playing back on a loudhailer in a seemingly endless loop : "Alarm clock one dollar fifty cent ... caller ID phone nine dollar ninety cent ... offer, offer. Alarm clock one dollar fifty cent ... caller ID phone nine dollar ninety cent ... offer, offer ..."

Made in China, obviously. With ongoing inflation in the money supply, and prices of commodities making record highs every week or so, I wonder how long China can keep this up.
