Woot

they sell stuff.


sometimes there's good deals. most days i forget to check

woot.com

the deal changes daily and shipping is always $5

todays deal is stupid. 6 starwars bobble heads for $30 +$5 shipping.....and 3 of them are unknown characters......


but sometimes, you find good stuff that you need.....
if you see a good deal, bump this thread

they had some decent sandisk mp3 players on there the other day for $20. 2GB. I was tempted.

They also have shirts at shirt.woot.com
Today's deal I like
http://shirt.woot.com/

I just added that to my favorites. It will give me something else to do while I put off working tonight. :)

*heh heh heh* Can't believe that the Dwellarz are just now getting around to woot.com knowledge. Very surprised about that.

They rock. I've gotten much from them. But you can expect slow shipping for the $5.

Oh, and they're having a woot-off today where they woot a bunch of different things back-to-back to clear out the warehouse. Much of it is randoms craps.

Try doing a search for "woot" here on the Cellar before you assume this thread is the first mention of it. Lumberjim said specifically that this thread is just a way to alert each other to good deals in case anyone forgets to check woot any particular day.

Ah, my bad. I apologise.

does not appear to have a CD drive.....

i think that's odd.

^^ none of the tiny netbooks have CD drives. There's not enough room for them.

If you need/want a large screen (47") TV. The one today looks to be a good price.

i saw that. has 4 hdmi ports. not 3

THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!

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?

clever fucking spammers.

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

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.

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.

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

and chop off extremities that get caught in there - or so I heard.
Check out some reviews:
Home Renovations
Ripoff Report

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.

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

Oh hell, Pooka is obsessed with those Power Squids.

You guys might want to check out this special deal at DSW.

was this the thread you intended for that post, Dar?

It sounded like a good deal on hobos. :D Do we have another good deal thread?

perfect pull up bar for $20 today

Maybe soon they'll have right side up monitors. ;)

I'm waiting with breathless anticipation for my vornado foot warmer thingie.

They're wooting off today a new deal every hour or so.

They've got a Kodak Theater HD Player for $50 plus $5 shipping today.

I'm tempted, but not sure if I'd use it much. This black box hooks up to your HDTV and stereo system and also connects by cable or wifi to the internet and your network/PC so you can get internet radio stations on your stereo system. You can view media content located on your PC on your tv. You can watch YouTube videos on your tv with better quality than most other black boxes will let you. You can play your iTunes library through your stereo.

If you have an external drive filled with content, you can just plug that USB cable directly into this box and access all the media directly to put it in your tv and/or stereo. No need to turn on a PC.

It doesn't play Netflix on demand.

It will accept memory cards full of pictures, so you can have a slide show on the big screen, and transfer them to your PC for storage.

It gets really good reviews on ease of use and the remote is very highly rated.

So I'm not sure how much I'd use all this stuff, but it does it all well, according to the reviews, and is a fantastic price.

Hmm.

WTF? Two knives for $149? I guess if you're a professional. But I can't imagine any home use that warrants knives that expensive.

We've got serrated knives we bought at a state fair for $20 20 years ago. They still work great.

It's a woot off today, new deals every hour (?) or so

It's pretty cool USB HDTV adapter RFN, good price, if only I needed such a thing.

I've been thinking about buying that gadget. It's cheap. But there are a lot of people complaining about getting it to work. I miss my VCR, and I'm too cheap for TIVO. This could be just the thing.

$400.00 :lol2:

Amazon has bought Woot.

I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing yet. Today's deal is a new Kindle for $149...


Edit: Its sold out.

another dweller apparently got one ... here

Yay, fellow wooters!

I'm a big woot fan in general. Seems likely that amazon will be leaving them alone to continue being awesome in their own way, thank goodness. I've gotten a bazillion good deals or just fun things there in the past - I have scads of thumb drives, memory cards, flashlights, headphones, and various little gadgets I've picked up dirt cheap over time. If something is really, really cheap I'll buy the max amount and give it away as gifts - I got some black and decker portable battery/inverter thingies that were a big hit, and earplugs/headphones for sure, USB bluetooth dongles, stuff like that. And yeah, I managed to snag the Kindle deal - follow that thread if you wanna see my opinion on it when it arrives and I get a chance to try it out.

sad, that is a great idea, buying stuff for gifts. Tank you!

Got da camera.

Nice price. I'll be curious to hear your comments on image quality.

Not expecting greatness, but it was cheap.

It's a nice size too. A camera like that, you can just leave at work, or leave in a glove compartment for those time you wish you had a camera handy.

I'm curious to see. That's an amazing price for the pixels. Making a decent lens is like shooting fish in a barrel these days. I'm guessing the achilles heel is something electronic. Wondering where the biggest cost is? Maybe there are good and crappy chips 12Mp vs 12 Mp?

well, the big problem with increasing the pixels in a chip is that you also are increasing the noise. It's not so apparent in professional quality cameras with their physically larger chips, but the tiny chips in point and shoot cameras are really susceptible to this problem. At this point, I think anything over, say, 8 megapixels in a point and shoot actually becomes a liability because of all the noise.

The industry really needs to work on the noise problem.

That's the next one up from my camera (10.2 megapixels)
Gutted it's so cheap.

Then again, mine's pink ;)

That's why I wear ear plugs when I'm taking pictures.

This looks like a fair deal.

Woot has a decent consumer level camera for sale today for a very good price.

Panasonic Lumix 12.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
$69.99

It's got the optical image stabilization. Not a huge zoom, but with 12 MP to play with you can do a little cropping to get in even closer. I wish this was for sale when I bought a camera for my daughter a year ago.
