Hi - I run BTCDeals.com -
One of the suppliers I use is indeed DealExtreme. I do add a slight markup on the items (but if you do the math on most items, it's very little) for my time, overhead and risk - but mostly I run BTCDeals.com as my way to invest in to the bitcoin market. I cashout the value needed to cover my costs, while all profits I leave in bitcoins in a separate wallet that I keep as an investment. I'm pretty open about how I run the site and am more than happy to answer any questions (except the full list of suppliers I use)
It may seem obvious to just order directly from DX, but the service I intend to be offering is a way to purchase items with BTC instead of your personal currency and utilizing your bank or paypal accounts.
In the end it's up to you, the consumer - just trying to help fill a void in the bitcoin market, and obviously help myself be part of the bitcoin economy.

Thanks for answering. Also your site style is similar to woot.com. Do you anticipate having similar feature as "woot offs" eventually? That could be fun!
