Who else has been to woot.com? If you haven't been there, but like to find deals on techie items like you see at bensbargians.net or other deal sites, this is a pretty cool place to shop. Catch is... they only sell one item per day. It goes on sale at 10pm PST.
Even better, they do this "Bag O' Crap" deal for $1. It's probably the only reason 99% of their customers go on the site... at least the ones I know. My sister actually got through and bought 3 bags. Her items were:
- 2 data guards for USB
- a spotlight flashlight
- samsonite camera bag
Not bad for only $8, but then again not too useful. People have been known to get notes in their bags saying "I'm sorry, your item will not fit in the bag." Only to find that their real item is shipped later and is a HDTV!
Shipping is $5 no matter if you buy a 40" TV or a pen. It includes buying in multiples as well. If nothing else, read the product descriptions for some humor. They are actually pretty funny.
Anyone else checked out this site and/or have any insight into it? I've heard that woot got stolen products before... that true?
