    Kogan, if you are not familiar with the company, is based out of Australia, and has a somewhat unusual business model. The products are manufactured in China. They sell the products directly from the factory, and only from their website. And they begin selling while the product is still in the manufacturing process. The price goes up as the product gets closer to market. Have you tried any of their products? What did you think?
