Attention geeks... We have a WOOT OFF! - 08-30-2007, 08:25 AM




For those of you who aren't familiar with the website WOOT.com, on a normal daily basis they start at midnight with a large quantity of one item and the just sell that one item until it's gone. Usually no photography stuff... except an occasional p-n-s digi cam. It's mostly techie stuff.

But today they are having a "WOOT OFF"... Which is a many splendered thing!!! They sell a smaller quantity of one thing and as soon as it's gone they put up another. This can go on for 36-48ish hours.

Shipping is just $5 on all orders and they are pretty good about getting you the stuff promptly. We bought about 8 items from the Woot Off last month and got all of it within a week.

Just beware... it can be very addicting!!!!!!

The guy next to me here at work is in the same boat... He was thinking about bagging the limit on these (you can only buy 3 of each item) - one for each of his 3 kids for x-mas presents... but then was "but I know I've seen em cheaper on here before.. I'll wait"

lol

And yeah - all work in our office stops during woot-offs... And we also break out one of my last woot-off purchases.. The USB Missile Launchers that I bought for our desks

We may be stuck on the croquet set for a while.

EDIT: Or not.

Chris - go in now and set up your log-in and account. You'll have the option to store your CC info with them (yes they are safe and secure) and then all you have to do is click on buy and verify your info. Speed is essential on some of these!!!! So if you have it all ready to go - you won't miss out on the next thing you want...

>:o)

Don't toss too long. Besides, the D3 is up next for $10.

well Matt, you are one ZUNE sale close to your D3.... >:o)

My friend here at work has one of these Zunes and really likes it. He just got his a couple of months ago off of ebay for 170 and it didn't have the extras with it they come with.. he had to buy those seperate... spent closer to $200

So $167 with tax and shipping is a good deal....
