woot.com + shirt.woot

So this post is dedicated to two websites which are similar and a bit of good fun: www.woot.com and shirt.woot.com both from Carrolton, Texas.

About woot strait from the woot’s mouth…

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).

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?)

I missed yesterday’s item, can I still get one?

No. Each woot.com product is discontinued at 11:59pm central time. That’s that. Period. We may get more at a later date if we’re lucky, but we offer no guarantees, we allow no backorders, and we have no waiting/notification lists. Too bad.

So if you skim over and don’t read quotes… these two websites each sell one item every day, changing at midnight, woot selling some kind of tech item and shirt.woot selling a shirt. Each is selling at whole sale price so its cheaper that typical store prices and its a new thing every day. so stop on by set it as your homepage and spend 10 sec a day and see what the new item is.
