Woot off today

The whole concept is that they sell "one item a day" with $5 flat shipping (even if it's a plasma TV). The item is usually a gadget or hi-fi electronic but sometimes is also a novelty item. Since they only do an item a day, they sometimes have great deals. Items are posted at midnight and they usually sell out, sometimes in hours, sometimes in minutes. They also have a wine (weekly) and t-shirt site now.

so....

every once in a while, they go crazy and have a "woot off" where they just keep listing shit all day.. As one item sells out they put up the next. The orange bar between the flashing lights indicates how much is left iof that item. As the bar disapperas, users will frantically be hitting refresh in the hops that the next item is something cool. During woot offs sometimes they only have, say, 5 of an item in stock so they can go super quick. The holy grail usually happens once per woot off and is called "Random Crap", AKA "Bag of Crap". Wiki "bag of crap" or "woot" and you will soon see what kind of cult status this has among users. They usually list ~1000 of them and they sell out in seconds. It's $1 but you should always order 3 (because of the flat shipping). What's in a bag of crap? Read the blogs for previous ones... mostly stuff they have lying around the warehouse but they always end up sending someone a plasma TV or a Ken Jennings head or something else amazing/weird.
