Woot

Several people who read my blog already know about "Woot!" However, in my attempt to spread the knowledge about what I'm learning, I thought it best to pass this info along.

There is a website/company called "Woot!" They are based in Dallas, and sell 1 item per day at a pretty dang cheap price. A lot of the things they sell are electronics or accessories for your computers. However, they also sell things like Pistachios or other "odds and ends."

Here is what they say about their company:

What is Woot and who's behind it?

Woot.com is an online store and community that focuses on selling cool stuff cheap. It started as an employee-store slash market-testing type of place for an electronics distributor, but it's taken on a life of its own. We anticipate profitability by 2043 – by then we should be retired; someone smarter might take over and jack up the prices. Until then, we're still the lovable scamps we've always been. But don't take our word for it: see what the online community has to say at this Wikipedia article.

I see only one item, do you sell anything else?

No. We sell one item per day until it is sold out or until 11:59pm central time when it is replaced (see next entry for details). However, each item we sell is in stock and typically ships within 2-3 business days.

What is the schedule for new items?

The short answer: we offer a new item every single day. The details: a new product is released every morning at 12am central time, seven days a week. (If you're not a morning person, this can be described as every night at midnight. Better?) If a product sells out during its run, a new item will not appear until the next release time. You will know if a product is sold out, because the main page says "SOLD OUT" instead of "I want one". (Clever, eh?)

Now they also have a section that sells T-Shirts, and another one that sells Wine!

Several of my coworkers have purchased items from Woot! and have been pleased with their results. Anyway, just thought I'd pass it along...
