heads-up on good buy November 09, 2011, 12:26:07 pm Yahoo Message Number: 126504Hi There is a neat item on woot.com today which is perfect for the LDer's tool kit. On WOOT today only $6.95. This item lists for $24.95 on Amazon. It is a Skil 4-in-1 folding utility knife/ saw combo. Cool. As always on Woot, sale good for only one day. This is FYI only. Thought someone might like to know ;^)Tom, 2000TK, Whidbey Is. WA, partly sunny, dry, warm for November, and breezy

I wonder what is going on. --- It appears that Woot is having a "Woot-off": (Quote from the Woot site.) "I see some orange flashing lights on the main page what do they mean? No, you aren't seeing a side effect from your allergy medication. You have found a Woot-Off, a short term frenzied mutation of our product posting procedure. In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally.)" ---Joan
