One Day, One Item: Woot.com



What is Woot! do you say? No, it's not me cheering, it's a new kind of e-commerce website, Woot.com. These people randomly put up one item for sale every week day (12am CST Monday-Friday, So if say you are on the west coast it's Sunday-Thursday at 10pm). The item stays up for sale until the next night's item or until it sells out. The thing about the items are they are generally offered at a greatly reduced cost (limit 3 per customer). For example:


Woot offered this:

iPod+HP 40GB MP3 Player
$319.99 after $50 Mail in Rebate + $5 Shipping

Where if you bought this elsewhere:

Amazon.com
$399.00

Sometimes they have some great items, sometimes not so much. It's worth a look. And hey every once in a while they offer their famous "Bag O' Crap" which costs $1 + $5 shipping. It's essentially the mystery bag, you never know what you are going to get: Could be a hockey puck, could be a Tivo. They also have photoshop contests where can win money prizes which are pretty cool too.
