Woot

Not sure how many of you are “in the know” on this one, but the 2nd greatest site in the world (second to COED) is Woot.com.

They normally sell one product a day, at ridiculously low prices with $5 shipping. Today is a WOOT-OFF, meaning that they go one product after another.

If you have a consumer electronic addiction like me - you NEED to check this out.
