About 6 months ago a work friend told me to visit www.woot.com and take a look. What an amazing day that was.
For those of you who are not familiar with Woot, they offer amazing tech deals at usually super discounted rates for members only. Best part: Membership is free!
For example: A brand new i-Trip for your i-Pod… I’ve seen it retail for about $79.99… Woot was able to provide their users with brand new ones for $19.99! What a steal.
They put up a new product every day. One product per day. Once they run out, you’re out of luck.
Once in a while, they’ll have a “woot off”; this is where they take all their overstock items (still really good stuff) and put them up in a one-after-another style. Once they run out of a certain item, they’ll put the next one up right away. These usually last a few days, and the prices are cut even lower during these time periods.
They have also coined a great term for a product they offer: The bag of crap. This is a $1″bag”that you purchase. In this bag, you will receive one item. Sometimes its from the woot off, sometimes its not. Usually you’ll get a handful of items, some great, and some just plain funny. The goal is to try and order 3 bags of crap, and you’ll get a box full of random stuff. Sometimes it can be a brand new nintendo wii (not joking!) or other times it can be a SnacDaddy hot wings tray, haha (I got 3 of them as part of my last Bag of Crap).
These BOCs usually sell out in about 1 minute or less, so be fast!
Oh and did I mention, shipping is only $5 on everything, regardless of location and weight?! Woot!
