For those of you not in the know, Woot.com is a website that sells one item a day, for a pretty good price. You can get cheap computers, cheap pens, basically anything.
But every once in awhile (about once a month) there is a "Woot-Off." They sell an item until it is sold out, then they put up another. The prices are usually really cheap, and you can get great deals. Alicia has blogged about this previously, so you can read her thoughts on her blog. She describes it better than me, so do give her post a read.
This Woot-Off started the day Alicia began her bar exam, so we couldn't follow it very well. But now that she's done, I have been compulsively pressing refresh to see what else was up for sale. And I got two items!
Mighty Kite Mini-Kite
They were only a penny each, plus $5 shipping (every single item is $5 shipping, whether it is ten pounds of salt or a penny kite). But, since the difference between getting one and three was $5.01 versus $5.03, I GOT THREE!
Satzuma USB Fish Tank
This guy is a USB Aquarium (fake fish) for only $3.99 plus standard $5 shipping. Not bad, considering it will make a nice addition to my USB gadget collection. Huzzah!
It was really exciting, considering these two came up one after another.
Too bad there weren't any Bags of Crap. I read online that if you can manage to get one, they've been valued up to $1000. And they only cost 5 bucks each. It's basically the lottery. Maybe some other time.
WOOT!

Aha! I just added Woot to my reader and I was so confused as to why every time I checked back there were a kajillion new posts. I knew if I waited around long enough you would explain it all...
