I keep my alarm/radio set to WGN, at talk station here in Chicago. I woke up this morning to the talking head gushing about woot.com. Later they interviewed the woot guy.

What's up with the tags on this thread? Linkys?

glatt · 07-18-2009, 09:21 AM

clever fucking spammers.

Shawnee123 · 07-18-2009, 10:24 PM

How nice that I saw them. You're welcome.

Alluvial · 07-22-2009, 12:17 PM

wootoff today. I got a new Motorola W215 phone for $29.99. They had Acer Atoms for $130 earlier today. I was tempted but didn't bite.

glatt · 07-22-2009, 12:23 PM

I was eying that phone, but decided against it. Excellent deal though.

I've seen those infomercials for the "Little Giant" ladder. I've even heard some people who own them say they are pretty good. They have the smallest one on woot today for 135 bucks. I wouldn't mind having one, but can't go spending $135 on an impulse purchase. I got a huge extension ladder and a smalll step ladder. This would be a nice middle ground one.

All the neat angles they fold to is cool , but it Will colapse !!!!

I've never used one, but I followed a discussion on another forum centered around construction, and the consensus there was that the Little Giant knockoffs are the ones that collapse because they have crappy hinges. And that Little Giants do what they claim to do. But I have zero first hand experience with them.

I've got no plans to buy one. But I could use a small sized extension ladder. Something that's lighter and smaller than the huge heavy weight fiberglass one I have. My current one is great for reaching gable ends and other really high places, but I bought the heaviest fiberglass one they offered and it's a bitch to move around. Sturdy though.

There was a Zune on woot this week. I was tempted (again!). But I didn't bite.

dar512 · 09-08-2009, 12:46 PM

Shoot. I missed today's woot. It's the first one I would have seriously considered. Two PowerSquids for $9.99.

Flint · 09-08-2009, 01:15 PM

Oh hell, Pooka is obsessed with those Power Squids.
