Woot!

Frugal geeks rejoice! If you haven't seen it yet, check out Woot! It's a blog/store dedicated to the bargain hunter in all of us. Woot buys up a large volume of products wholesale and then offers them up at a discount, one a day for 24 hours only. Woot ties in a humorous blog to advertise the product, often pointing out the product's shortcomings. This hasn't stopped the frenzied buyers, however: products often sell out within hours or even minutes of their announcement. Today, for example, they offered a refurbished TomTom GO 510 for $280, plus the regular $5 shipping charged for all products. I checked Amazon and the lowest price for a used one is $294. Needless to say, the units were already sold out on Woot. But don't despair, there will be a new bargain posted tomorrow. If you sign up for the RSS feed, you can be one of the first shoppers to try and push through the virtual door and snap up whatever bargain they offer tomorrow.

Woot!
