Woot provides discounts on exciting electronics
There’s nothing like a good deal. Especially when those deals are on quality products like iPods, iHomes, laptops, home theater systems, cameras or flash drives.
Woot.com is an online store and social community that sells popular items like mentioned above for cheap.
Their motto is one day, one deal.
They sell one item each day until it is sold out or until 11:59 p.m. central time when it is replaced by a new item. Each item they sell is in stock and will ship within 2-3 business days.
What their site offers is a new product released every morning at 12 a.m. central time, seven days a week. If a product sells out you won’t see the new item until the next day. They make it very visible right on the web site if a product is sold out, by putting “sold out” right on the front page.
Once a product appears and is gone, it’s gone for good.
The downfall of this site is that you will not receive customer support, meaning you can’t talk to a sales representative or receive a replacement if you are not satisfied because things sell out fast. They discourage returning items and suggest that you call the manufacturer of the product you bought to try and get a replacement. If all else fails you can email the site and try and get a refund. All this information is detailed on their site.
But don’t be fearful, this site is legitimate, and all the specs and details about the products each day are given so that you know exactly what to expect from your purchase.
They give you a slight warning about how close an item is to selling out by having the “I Want One” button bounce around on the site. It is telling you to act fast before the item is gone.

(If you dont know what an RSS Feed is, it is simply a way to receive headlines, article links and updated content from a web site to your inbox, so you’ll never miss out on new things at their site).
Another cool aspect of this site is the ability to use the web browser, Firefox, as a way to stay up to date on their new products. It is an add-on, found here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4458.
