I will confess that I once bought something from the SkyMall catalogue! I was on my way to England and hadn't had time to buy an electrical converter. I discovered that they were ridiculously expensive at the airport (and surprisingly hard to find): $30 for a little piece that would only convert between US and UK. On the plane I saw a $30 piece that promised to allow me to convert electricity all over the world (something like 150 countries). I am aware it was still way overpriced, but I really didn't want to spend my small amount of travel time browsing through stores in England looking for a converter, so yes, I bought it on the plane. I think even the stewardess was embarrassed to have to charge me that much for it! Now I'm going to have to travel the world to make it worth the money...
