Woot’s this? Incredible deals offered daily, and then some

If you haven’t discovered Woot! by now, we implore you to leave your cave…now.

Woot doesn’t sell iPhones or iPods, although we have spotted the elusive brown Zune there in the past. Woot doesn’t even offer a mobile version of its site, but that’s okay because the default layout works quite nicely on mobile Safari. No, we’re telling you about Woot today because of the amazing shopping deals you can find there, and today is a very special kind of Woot day. Welcome the the Woot-off!

On most regular days, Woot works like this: they offer one product per day at an incredibly deep discount. They have a limited number of items in the inventory, and when they sell out you are out of luck until the next day when they post a new product. Here’s the catch…they don’t tell you how many are left in stock so you have to buy it when you see it, or else you may miss the deal. But alas, today is no ordinary Woot day. Today is a Woot-off.

A Woot-off is a most beautiful thing for online shopaholics. Instead of waiting until the next day to post the next product, Woot will post them immediately. As soon as one product sells out, the next is posted, and so on. All day. All night. You will definitely want to keep Woot open in another browser window and refresh it often so you don’t miss a good deal. Here’s a handy tip that will help you: register first, then be sure you are signed in as you watch the Woot-off. This way you won’t waste precious time signing in to buy your item.

The Woot-off is also different than a normal Woot because they display how many items are left in stock. This is done with a progress bar located between two flashing yellow lights. You can’t miss it. When the bar reaches the end you have lost your chance at the deal and must wait for the next one to be posted, which happens quickly. Take our word for it, watching a Woot-off is extremely addictive.

The products offered at Woot tend to lean heavily toward the technology category, but they often throw in toys, wine, and other surprises. The site has a very active community that comment on the items posted. There are also podcasts available for every single Woot. The writers at Woot are wonderfully clever making the product descriptions on the home page worth the visit alone.
