W O O T !
Do you woot? Woot is far and away one of the most interesting gadget/sale sites out there. Once a day from Monday to Friday, at midnight Central Time, woot posts one item for sale. That's right, one and only one item at a terrific(usually - that's what Froogle is for)price. How many of a given item do they have in stock? Woot gives you no idea - could be 1000, could be 20. What if they sell out? Too bad, you have to wait until midnight for the next item. What if the item doesn't sell out? Doesn't matter - new item at midnight.
I've purchased everything from a vacuum to a Robosapien on the site. Shipping is $5.00 and you are only permitted to purchase a maximum of 3 of any given item. I've woken up some mornings only to find out that woot is already sold out. There is a very active community of buyers and the descriptions of what they have for sale are always worth reading. I have no idea how or if they make money - but since it doesn't seem to matter to them, it doesn't matter to me either.
