No but that's a really cool idea. (Big help I am, eh? Laughing

) I'm interested in finding out how the "one item" doesn't get snatched up IMMEDIATELY every day... I mean, isn't there just gonna be one dude who makes Woot! his life and just gets that item before everyone else, then sells it on Ebay or something for $10-15 more? I mean, the thing up there today is awesome and really well priced (considering a 20GB ipod is not too far behind in the price category) and that's for your car and home... I just think it's sketchy (hence why you posted...) Ok, so yeah. Go Woot! Go America! Winners don't use drugs! (insert random after-school special wisdom here)

Embarrasing edit: Read too much into the "One Item" thing... Realize they are selling multiples of only one CHOICE. So, there is not just "one unit" being sold, and I'm a dweeb. ROCK ON!
