Woot.com is an online store and community that focuses on selling cool stuff cheap. It started as an employee-store slash market-testing type of place for an electronics distributor. They sell one item per day until it is sold out or until 11:59pm central time when it is replaced.  However, each item they sell is in stock and typically ships within 2-3 business days.

There are lots of good deals on electronics. There is also a wine woot and a shirt woot. The descriptions are detailed and written by some witty, intelligent folks.  Sometimes I wonder if they hired the guys from the movie Clerks to write their web copy.  There is also a product discussion forum.

When the “I Want One” button is bouncing around, that means they’re in Urgent Mode. Act fast – a sellout is approaching! Once an item is sold out, that’s it. Tomorrow is another day, another deal.
