http://wine.woot.com/

Awesome site btw. Every once and a while they do these things called woot-offs, where they list an item and, when it sells out, they immediately list a new one. Fans of the site have been known to buy a shitty item and encourage others to do so also just to get to the next, unknown item in the woot-off.

And then there is the BoC, the bag of crap. You pay money and get a random assortment of odds and ends. It usually sells out almost instantly-getting into a BoC buy is a huge deal for woot enthusiasts.

Read an article about it a while ago. Social purchasing is an interesting experiment, certainly works for video games (see GAF ).

Another neat thing is that they offer up statistics on each item as far as sales go:

I think that's pretty neat.

Why isn't my state/country/province listed; do you ship internationally?
No, we do not ship outside of the continental United States at this time. We do not ship to APO/FPO addresses, Canada, Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, nor to Maggie's Nipples, Wyoming or Assinippi, Massachusetts at this time.

Post by: Human Snorenado on May 15, 2007, 03:05:08 PM: Yeah, woot is pretty much the bomb. I bought a decent projector from them for only about $500 when I had a job that paid well, back in the day.
