Ok, I love a good deal, and I love to SHARE a good deal, so I gotta share this. http://woot.com is a fabulous site for tech deals. They only offer just one product a day (unless it's a woot-off) but that product is usually WAY cheaper than you can find it elsewhere. For instnace, right now there's a webcam up there for $30 that normall retails for close to $100. The deal changes every night at midnight (central time) but they often sell out long before that. You can only order a maximum of three of any deal, and they only ship to the contiguous US. So, do you woot? Do you think you will now?

Oh yes, that's a great deal. I have birthdays coming up for my mom and husband. I will add this to my favorite list. Thanks BG!

Yeah, I did some Christmas shopping on woot and made out quite well. There is no way I would have been able to afford the same gifts anywhere else!

I've never bought anything via Woot, but heard about them a couple months ago on a satellite radio blog I read daily. That day, Woot was selling an XM receiver and (I think) either a car kit or home kit for $20...It was one that normally retails for $100. So, I check Woot out occasionally, and will probably buy something from them in the future; it looks like a very cool site.

LOL -- my hubby got that very radio for Christmas! It was at Best Buy, same model, for $120 and I got it for 1/6th of the price. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me!

Yeah, I'm a fan of woot too. I've got it bookmarked and check it every day. I have yet to buy something from there though. Their prices are pretty unbelievable. I also think their descriptions of the items are pretty funny sometimes.

I know what you mean... I go read the descriptions even if I have no interest in the item or if it's sold out. LOL

Oh, that's a great site. I had never heard of it before I read your post. I don't know if I'll ever have an occasion to use www.woot.com, but I KNOW my dad and a friend of mine will. We all thank you! : )

The last thing I do before bed, is check the new woot. I've bought several items and have been happy with them all.

I have been to that site a few times before but I never ran into anything I have ever wanted. Once, I went there and it was a grab bag of items. They didn't tell you what the items were in the bag and didn't even say what the items were worth. Even admitted the items could be worth nothing! hahahahaha Hey, at least they are honest about it, right? LOL I should probably start looking at it again. You never know what they might have on there each day. :) Thanks for reminding me.

Generally, the grab bag is worth FAR more than they charge for it... A friend gave me this advice: If you see the bag, buy 3. Don't think about it, don't hesitate, just buy them.

I like Woot. It is a lot of fun. Those Woot-Offs are ridiculous though -- I sit at my computer and refresh like crazy. Have you ever gotten one of their paper bags of junk? I got a $50 RC Hoovercraft thing in mine one time. It's the only time I ever got in on a bag, as they usually sell out before I notice.

I think I will woot now lol! I love things like this too bad its just one deal a day. Maybe if there were even 2 deal per day it more produce more traffic. I've never heard of this up until now.

LOL Now and then they do a woot-off which means as soon as one product sells out, another goes up, but that's about it. Really though, since they usually sell out whatever they have up, I don't guess they're worried about finding more traffic!
