MODERATORS
They do this for at least half a dozen different domains, including some brand names that they have bought off others including Dick Smith, Matt Blatt, etc. They're all the same website with different logos and styling on the elements, the exact same layout and code. They have most of the same stuff with pricing sometimes the same and sometimes different for marketing reasons.
I'd really like to see that practice banned. It gives the illusion of competition where there is none. Slapping a logo on a whitelabelled product doesn't magically make it competition.
I find it funny that you can buy a Dick Smith dildo now.
