Woot

Here’s a nifty website for you that my dad turned me on to.

It’s called woot.com. Each day, Woot has one electronic item for sale at a really low price. Their advertising for this item is especially clever and entertaining enough to read on its own.

Some items are a really good buy. My dad recently got a nifty mp3 player for about nineteen bucks and he says it works really well.

Another nice thing is that purchasers of this product can leave their reviews which are readily available on the home page under "discuss this product."

Sometimes, a product will be a piece of crap and, quite often, the reviewers will say so. (You'll often read, “This is a piece of carp.” I don’t know why many things are compared to a fish, but there you go.)

If the product is really nifty and a good buy, Woot will be sold out of it later in the day.

I look at it every day. Like I said, the site itself is entertaining enough.

You never know when you’ll need a piece of carp.

    Woot even has a Twitter page so I get automatic little blurbs about what is on sale each day.

    Oh and don't forget wine.woot, shirt.woot and sellout.woot.
