 * The file wp-ecommerce/wpsc-widgets/specials_widget.php does not randomize the
   specials, so always displays the same X items.
 * I’ve added an ‘orderby’ => ‘rand’ to the $args array around line 189 in function
   wpsc_specials

 * Hi Lime Canvas, thanks for the suggestion. What would be ideal is adding a filter
   option to the Widget Settings for either Latest (default) or Random. I’ve suggested
   this for inclusion in a Plugin update.
