    I hope there is some good stuff this time, unlike the last Woot Off.

    Occasionally I see something awesome but the last two woot off's were horrid. So far, its not been great. I don't have any extra cash anyhow at this point.

    I actually picked up two things in the last woot-off. Mind you, it's because a) I had just gotten a new product which used microSD and was waiting for a decent deal on one of them and caught it at the right time, and b) because I was looking for a really inexpensive yet not pos mouse as a backup for work. So, worked for me.

    And this one looks to be off to a decent start, at least as far as pricing is concerned - this handsfree set is actually useful, and close to 50% off of the best price on froogle, and completely unavailable via amazon. If I didn't have a headset already, I'd be all over this. And if I didn't already have gifts for my family, I'd probably be in for multiples because this is exactly the sort of thing they'd love.

    I don't want to rain on everyone's parade (ok, I lied - I just did) but most of these Woot off threads seem to me like an extended marketing campaign brought to the PA G&T board. Hasn't the novelty factor worn of by now or what does this make so interesting? I am just curious.

    Some people still try for the BOC, I for one, have given up all hope of ever scoring one.

    1.) The descriptions are often hilarious
    2.) The deals are occasionally good
    3.) We need somewhere to talk up an item that is taking forever like the FABULOUS iRobot Roomba 418 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Bundle! It cleans better than my regular vacuum and it does so automatically. I bought 3! They make great gifts.

    Woot off on threads are great. Our conversation helps weather crappy items.

    That being said, I don't need a roomba. We have a central vac - it cost an obscene amount of money, I can't take away from its workload, the central vac must earn its keep.

    I bought a camera and it came in about 4 days. It took almost 2 weeks for the kingston mem cards I ordered to show up from before the lasts woot off. I'm still waiting on a bunch of things from the last woot off.

    There's no such thing as a good deal on a non-Wacom graphics tablet. Any other brand you buy is pretty much just a waste of money.

    Let’s Bail

    Good day American taxpayer, complments of the season to YOu. Please allow me to introduce myself I am Mr. Henry PAULSON very high official of United States Treasury of United States, Washington, USA. I please to be writing you this day because someone of our mutual acquaintance Mr. BERNANKE vouch for you as trustworthy and gullible individual of high moral standards.

    Through no fault of my own I am come to hard straits and although I am a proud man and father, I must beseech your partnership in resolution, an urgent and vexing matter. Through malfeasance and rascality, certain individuals of my close acquaintance have sabotage national banking system, hence an imminent disaster will befall if I am unable to secure the amount of $700,000,000,000 DOLLARS U.S with all utmost haste. This amount is currently being held by millions of fellow Americans but thus far these scoundrels refuse to release the money to me on grounds of that it is not mine infact.

    Therefore I must, find a partner who can assist in the collection of this funds with, advance fee of $179.99 DOLLARS U.S a nominal amount I am sure you will agree. In return for you cooperation I am authorized to release as a token of my good faith to you one iRobot Scooba Floor Washing Robot, can thoroughly clean a floor with FOUR (4) cleaning stages, prep,wash,scrub,dry, and include one bottle of 8 OZ. (8 ounce) Scooba Juice cleaning fluid. This robots can follow walls and crisscroos rooms without need of human agency. Not to be use on carpet, laminate, stone of course I am sure you understand. for such price you would not expect to buy such Scooba but I, can assure you.

    After funds of $700,000,000,000 DOLLARS U.S I will forward informations regarding fully protection of all funds, liabilities, equities and other such financial aspects. For now I must ask you to simply place your trust in me as you would a brother, for, are we, all not brothers?

    I pray, that this message find it in your heart, to enter in partnership with me in interest of forestalling disastrous circumstance. Should you prefer not to assist me, with funds, I shall direct my I.R.S agents to procure the funds anyway from you, this voluntarily way is more amenable and you will atleast get a SCOOBA mop robot out of the deal, as fate wills it.

    Your friend everlasting,

    Mr. Herny PAULSON
    United STATES Treasure
