• Where we come from, calling something ‘bagless’ isn’t really a selling point. Today’s Woot! disagrees, hawking the refurbished Hoover WindTunnel Bagless Vacuum for $145, shipped. Quite a few different models exist making price comparison tricky, but this looks like a fair—not great—deal.

Huzzah, our Threadless tshirts came in the mail today. Both beautiful packages were delivered at the same time. Here’s our catwalk. Click on a photo to start the fashion slideshow. The code is a little buggy, if the photo dissapears, refresh or go backwards.
BiddingForTravel.com
By 5.3.06
One of the problems with travel bidding sites such as Priceline and Hotwire is that you’re betting blind. The house has all the stats, has already determined what they’re going to pay and it’s up to you to guess what might work.

UPDATE: Soho Store a Scam?
By 5.1.06
Last Friday, we wrote about the online “Soho Store” offering some obscene discounts on iPods (10 60gb video iPods for $2699!, an over $1000 discount off MSRP). We just thought it was too good a deal to be true.

• Today’s Woot! is the Toshiba Gigabeat MP3 Player for $175, shipped. That’s a solid but hardly amazing price for a player with its fair share of quirks. Be sure to do some reading up before you purchase.

Dell’s cleaning out the second quarter closet and we find not cobwebs, skeletons or Tom Cruises, but a bundle of savings.

• Today’s Woot! is some 4 x 6 inch HP photo paper—5 packages for $25. We haven’t used a printer since the Reagan administration, so we have no idea if that’s a good deal or not.

• We weren’t quite sure what a deck box was, exactly. Turns out it’s a big plastic box for putting crap in that lives, presumably, on one’s deck. We’re told the $40 price for this one on Amazon is a good deal, but the fact that it ships from Target and not Big A might screw up the value. [via SlickDeals]
The Business of Rebates
By 4.19.06
Rebate deals are often conspicuously absent from our Morning Deals Round-Up. Why? Because 60% of deals never go through — either the customer forgets about them or the rebate house rejects the application upon a technicality. Rebates are bonuses, not the sort of thing you should make a purchasing decision based upon.

• Woot’s Twofor Tuesday is the Xact X-Linx M4X FRS Radio(s) for 20 bucks. Are we the only ones who think that handheld walkie-talkies are still riding on the goodwill afforded them from a populace still enamored with CB radio technology from the ’70s?

• Today’s Woot! is the Hitachi EDPJ32 LCD Entertainment Projector for $605, shipped. (Projecting anything other than Entertainment will violate the terms of use of this unit.) There is another $100 rebate on top of the price, and the resolution of the projector is high enough to display DVDs at their native resolution. It’s not an HD projector, however. Overall, not a bad price.
