Tell me, does this ad sound like a pretty good deal to you?

Here's the ad I received in an email: “Health-O-Meter HM2115Q Men's Micro Suede Slippers with Massage. Medium, has soft fabric and lining to keep feet snuggly warm. These slippers have powerful massage motors that soothe stressed, tired feet with vibrating massage. There is a cushioned memory foam sole support to deliver extra support to the heel and sole. This product is battery operated for ultimate convenience.”
These were a ‘deal of the day’ at www.Dealmonger.com for $15.99. They sounded good to me, especially since I did a quick web check and found that on Amazon.com these slippers are selling for up to $45! So I paid my $15.99 and ordered them. Turned out to be not a good deal. The "massage" is a little motor that vibrates in one part of the foot and feels like you’re standing on a “joy buzzer”. And you have to take out the vibrator inner soles in order to insert the memory foam inner insoles. And if there’s memory foam inside them you certainly can’t feel it through the thick faux fur covering. All in all, I think at $16 I paid maybe $15 too much! But if this glowing review has you longing for a pair, here’s the listing on amazon.com. They’re sold out at DealMonger.com.
