Don't forget to holler at the kids to get off the lawn :ROFLMAO:
I have this sign to keep the kids off my lawn……. I really wish the wild life (bears, deer, fox and coyote) could read because they are a nuisance.

So this thread, from which my wallet has suffered a couple hits, now needs it's title changed to reflect that "Woot" (which I hadn't heard of prior to here) is included? Does Woot just sell the same stuff but that somebody has decided they don't want? Do they have the same return policy(s) - their small print on that gave me a headache .... what is the attraction?

Really? Woot has been around since 2004, bought by Amazon in 2010.

@Tchicken: Woot was acquired by Amazon in 2010 and as far as I can tell only sells Amazon goods now. Likely overstock, slow movers, old packaging, etc. Check the deals against amazon as sometimes it is barely a savings, but generally there is a decent markdown. As far as warranties go, they say the warranty is listed in the product info (not always the case). A manufacturer or third-party warranty superceeds Woot's 90 day warranty, which is limited in scope. I have had a disk drive manufacturer tell me a product sold on Woot was not covered, but sold on Amazon is. Fight or remember to buy on Amazon next time? Returns have some typical limitations: restocking for heavy items, and no return on hazardous goods, etc. I think you return with a shipper and not the optional Amazon drop-off locations.

All that said, tools, hardware, school goods have been fine except for one instance.

[Adding links] Their forum, never read it. You can't directly search Woot, probably by design, but you can do some searching via WootSearch.

Thanks - I don't get out much obviously. At first I had the impression that Woot sold overstock/ returns ..

If I read it correctly Woot is an Amazon subsidiary that may or not have the same stuff, ships slowly, may or not have the same flexibility of return or warranty coverage, but where you may or may not be able to (the example above) find a deal, but don't try and search for it ..
