That's how it normally is but not today. Today they're selling a certain number and then moving on to the next item. If you hit refresh it's a Roomba. There's a lot of Dysons, Sansas, and Roombas.

Roomba is a robot vacuum. I don't know if they're good quality. They're popular though. Most of the stuff they sell is good quality. Some of it's refurbished.

The Sansa media player that's up right now is a good product. I've got one and it works great. Putting video onto it is a little tricky to figure out.

Yeah I know, there's been a few times when I'm thinking about pulling the trigger but want to make sure it's good quality/deal first. Then it's gone.

I've followed the last two Woot-offs and found them to be an overrated waste of time. It's all about the Banjo Of Consternation anyway, and your odds are probably better at winning a radio call-in contest than being able to buy a BOC. Not worth it.

I bought today's shirt. It will serve as my Halloween costume, then I'll probably wear it on laundry days or to sleep in.

Dyson is by far the best vacuum ever....they are expensive but they are good

Sansa's are MP3 players that are very cheap...I keep a few around for gifts


Roomba's are those little robot vacuums that go around the house automatically

Just make it a point to go to the site everyday...most everything during the wootoff is on their site throughout the week or at some other time...every time it's not a wootoff you have plenty of time to research it

Didn't get the earbuds. The first pair was offered when I wasn't online, and they were a weird color. The others I saw either weren't in-ear or an unknown brand on which I couldn't justify spending $15 or $20. I'll probably just order a cheap no-name set from Hong Kong.

Today's Woot is a pretty good price...but word has it that these prices with drop big time come Nov

LCDs normally drop every Nov/Dec, but they're fairly inexpensive now so I don't know how much lower they can go. I just bought a similar TV to this from TigerDirect for a little bit more than this price. I was bummed about it when I woke up and saw this on woot but after reading further, my TV is better. So I can sleep tonight.

Just bought a Vizio of the same size...glad I did. However, it would be nice to have an LCD over a Plasma, but I'll take it.

I can tell you exactly where that TV came from. A friend of mine works at Phillips and they sent out a employee email with this exact television on it for $599, so Woot is still taking a decent mark-up on it. I actually got a 52' for $899 and if you got it directly from Phillips, you get a warranty on it as well, something woot doesn't do.

Woot gives a 90 day warranty on this I think. Which is not exciting. Your credit card give you a years worth however.
