My co-workers told me about this site and I figured I'd share it with others I don't know how many of you buy products online, but if you do it could potentially save you some money.

Woot.com does anything from selling $3000 HDTV's for $1600, to selling $150 internal hard drives for $50, but there's one catch: They only sell one item per day, you never know what it's going to be, and when it's sold out they aren't getting any more!

I haven't had a chance to buy anything I wanted from there yet, but I've been visiting every day waiting for something decent

I missed the $50 250GB hard drive though

Discuss the awesomeness of woot.com

By the way, the item on today is kind of lame, a 12-volt battery charger. But if you look up the price on jcwhitney.com it's $39.99. Woot is selling it for $12.99. These are the kind of things they do everyday, and often times it's with cool stuff

13 bucks for a 12 volt battery charger?! XD

What an interesting site

[otherworld]

Well, I personally can't speak for their reliability but a guy I know at work ordered something from there and there were no problems.

Oh yeah I remember hearing about this site.

Cool stuff .

Heard about it before I'm half tempted to frequent their site, and buy their stuff xD

Do they update their site with new deals at 12am? Or is it randomly once a day

I think it's 12am, but I don't know what timezones 12am. I'm sure it says somewhere. On a normal day there's only one item and once it sells out, they don't sell anything else the rest of the day.

However, sometimes they have special "Woot-offs" (also unannounced) where they'll continuously sell different items at crazy prices. When one item sells out, another takes its place. I've only witnessed one woot-off though. It's where I saw the $50 250gb hard drive.

Remember when Woot was accused of stealing a truckload of video cards?

Fun times.

[Mr. Hobo]

I hope they have a video card or processor or tower up soon, need those
