Not sure how many people here know of woot.com but figured many here are the types that could appreciate such a site.
For those that know what it is, you are missing a wootoff ;).
www.woot.com (http://www.woot.com)
for those that don't know what it is, you will need to sign a release stating you won't hold me responsible for getting you addicted before you go to the site heheh jk. It's basically a site that sales products that are usually "tech" related at a usually pretty nice discount. Sometimes it is refurbished stuff, sometimes large items (like huge plasmas) but usually worth a look to see what you can save on. And shipping is always $5 regardless how huge the item may be.
Woot.com usually only sells one item a day and it changes at 12am central (I beleive) and there is usually a rush of people that check right then. Sometimes the item sells out in minutes and sometimes it's there till the new item is put up after 24 hours.
A wootoff is when they sell item after item until they are out of items for that promotion. Usually a lot of cool items really cheap between some items that are more expensive and no one wants lol. So it's like a ongoing super sale until they run out which can take a few days sometimes.
bag of crap. BOC. It's the prized sales "item" that many wooters never get. For $1 (plus $5 shipping) they send you a package with a few items they have laying around or didn't sell in other days promotions. Usually pretty boring stuff but still fun to get especially considering it is hard to get some before they sell out. On nights when that is the only item (normal days) they usually sell 5000+ in the first 2-3 minutes it goes up! They usually have at least one on wootoffs as well so that is the only reason I mention it.
Post here if you buy anything from the wootoff so I can send them a bill for my commission (lol jk, though would be nice if they did that).
Current item:
iRiver Clix 2GB Media Player (refurb)
$89.99+ $5 shipping
