I was fiddling around totally lost on the net one day when I stumbled upon Woot.com quite by accident. Woot, named for the slang term w00t! (usually indicating excitement or joy) that sprung up sometime in the 90's on the Internet, ...

This is a VERY Inetersting review of WOOT and their methods fo boosting sales.

I just bought my first laptop at Comp USA and was VERY turned off by the in-store experience. I am still within the 14 day return period, have not broken open the box yet and am still deciding whether to return it (it's a Toshiba) and buying something else.

I actually felt tlike I was in a used-car dealer. It was very, very 'off-putting."


Merry Christmas,

No, it was in like...February or something and you got from one to eight calendars of all types. You didn't know how many or what types they were. I think I paid $6.00 or $7.00 for them. That was the only time I saw something so silly being sold unless it was the Bag of Crap, which I never could win!

Hey Vincent, thank you! I am going to try to get back to post more. I've got a huge backlog of things I've been waiting to review. It's so good to see you're doing well, and with a new book! Congrats! *hug* - Cat

Kathy,

Thanks so much for the warm welcome back! With the holidays coming up, work has died down just enough that I've been able to find some time. I really hope I can keep it up.

Merry Christmas! - Cat

Patty - Thanks!

You got a mystery box of calendars? Was it a "Bag of Crap" purchase? I've never seen that on Woot. Cool! :)

...review and good to see you around again!

I haven't bought anything on Woot but I do look at it occasionally. You're right they do hit on the impulse, buy it now before it is all gone mentality....but hard not to fall into the excitement too.

.....Merry Christmas to you and yours, I hope you have a wonderful holiday.......kath

I have gotten a few good deals at Woot. I like the crazier stuff. I once got a mystery box of calendars. I got eight calendars of all kinds for a few bucks. lol. I also got a few decent electronics there but wouldn't but anything too expensive.

Very good review!
