the WOOT-OFF

If you're asking yourself right now, "What is woot?" you really should be asking yourself why do you bother getting on the internet. Woot is a online site that offers a "deal a day." That is every day at midnight they put a new product up on their web site. They sell that product (usually at a very discounted price) until they run out of stock and then the sale is done for the day. However, on occasion they have what is called a "Woot-Off" and when this takes place, they auction off a new item after every item is finished selling until the "Woot-Off" is complete. This could be after 5 items or it could be after 50. It seems that usually these items are the left overs of other sales. So instead of having 5000 of an item they might only have 5 or 50 of it. While an item on sale on a normal day might last until late in the day, items sold during a woot off "typically" sell out very quick. So what do they sell on woot? Electronics for the most part, sometimes tvs, sometimes home appliances, sometimes bags of crap. As of now, I've purchased three items from woot: wireless logitech headphones, lan party head phones (force feedback headphones with a microphone and colored leds), and a set of hand held walkie talkies. So remember the important thing is that you check out woot.com every day. You might just find something you like.
