Well, there's a wootoff at http://woot.com; thought about mentioning it yesterday, but didn't bother; no actual ITs or anything. On reconsideration, though, there's plenty of stuff that could be handy with an IT (FM transmitters, earbuds, SDs, mice, BT headsets, and less relevant stuff, too), so here it is. Probably most people who are interested know it already, but consider yourself alerted.

heheh. indeed.

actually, several woot-offs (woots-off?? :shrug: ) ago, I briefly spotted a Nokia 770 Internet Tablet (refurbished, they had about 10 of 'em) that disappeared before I could figure out what it was and if I wanted one. That led to a short investigatory period, aided by google, which then led me to this forum, maemo, and amazon.com. Three days of free shipping later, I had a Nokia N800 in my hands. Been here bothering folks, off and on, ever since.

So, now you know who to blame...

...waiting for the BoC to show up!

Do they ship to the UK yet? :/

I've been following Woot for a while now. Great site!

In case anybody finds it useful, you can follow their history (or get RSS feed notifications) by pointing yourself over to http://www.woot.com/blog/rss.aspx

Happy hunting!

Actually I think your title should be "woot-off still going weak".

They have been getting poorer and poorer. I used to schedule my day for the woot opening and a woot-off meant sleepless nights.

Come on, now; there's awesome stuff on there. Like, right now, there's a UV detector. For 15 dollars, you can get a device that turns CR2016 batteries into readings of CRT radiation. Of course it's going strong.

Honestly, there've been a few things I'd have jumped for, had they not been while I was asleep. Only 2 that I was awake and fast enough for, thus far. Still hoping for some boll-weevils on cotton, though.

Hint for any woot newbs: use mywoot.net in a firefox sidebar, with the image off. Fits nicely, and can give audio alerts.

The thing about using the RSS feeds is. By the time I read them, it's usually to late. :P

I'm pretty sure the RSS feeds are for folks who're more interested in knowing what HAD been on woot.

Anyone seriously following woot would have probably either followed the web page itself or, for the really hardcore, installed the Woot Add-On for Firefox.

Haha yeah that's true. Though I tend to be a rational buyer (I try to think about my purchase for a while). Heck I'm still sitting on the idea of buying a bluetooth GPS.

So a Woot rarely gives me time to make up my mind lol.

Yeah, but there's 10 PS/2 mice on for $20 -- are you saying that if you thought long enough you wouldn't buy that? Oops, sold out! (Yeah, 42 units of 10 each, sold in a minute.)
