Morning Deals Round Up

• Today’s Woot! is a god damned golf club. I know nothing about golf, so if a $155 driver is a good deal, you’ll have to figure it out for yourself. I will not support your silly habit.

Morning Deals Round Up

• Today’s Woot! is a punch of photo paper for $20. If you need 4 x 6 paper, it’s a pretty good deal. (100 sheets goes for $16ish other places, while this is 225 sheets.)

• Today’s Woot! is a pair of Logitech Cordless Action controllers for the Playstation 2 for $25. They’re refurbished, but that seems like a really nice price for something that gets near universal acclaim. (I have an Xbox version and it’s tops.)

• Today’s Woot! is Microsoft Streets & Trips 2005 w/GPS locator for $55. That seems to be about par for the course, price-wise, so don’t get all in a rush.

Beware Used Media Fleet Cars

Beware Used Media Fleet Cars

As Jalopnik learned this weekend at Chrysler’s Proving Grounds, don’t buy a lemon that’s been sucked on by a reporter. As they romped and frolicked through Michigan backwoods, one thing was for certain, that the other journalists were grinding their cars into dust.

Don’t Put a Loser on Your Face

Don’t Put a Loser on Your Face

As with many things in life, we take our health and beauty advice from professional dominatrixes. That’s why we’ll be avoiding purchasing this facial cream, for while a rose may be a rose and so forth…

• Today’s Woot! is a Canon PIxma iP6210D Photo Printer for $55. That seems to be the average price for that model, so there’s not much of a deal here at all.

• Today’s Woot!is a Sharp 1-Bit Digital Amplifier for $185, shipped. I know nothing about this product, but the ones I could find online are going for $300ish.

Oozinator Ooze Tested

Captivated by the Oozinator squirt guns possibilities, mainly those involving its ability to shoot ooze, we ordered one. Here is the money shot. It fulfills all your hopes and dreams. This is but a preview of a longer ooze opus. Enjoy.

• Today’s Woot! is a Dirt Devil Cordless Vac ‘n’ Mop for $25, shipped. Here’s what we don’t get: Does it actually vacuum up the cleaning solution that can be sprayed from its cane or does one have to choose between sweeping and mopping? Hard question—and we don’t care to spend $25 to answer it.

American Apparel FlipFlops, Flapped

American Apparel FlipFlops, Flapped

We’ve obviously taken this American Apparel flipflop thing too far. Jumped the shark, and all that. So why not do another shot while writhing on the floor? Render the blackout a deeper shade of obsidian?

• Today’s Woot! is a pair of generic 2-way FRS/GMRS wristwatch radios for $23, which would be hard to resist if we hadn’t picked up those Bluetooth headphones yesterday. Plus, they’re ugly.

American Apparel Waffles on Flip Flops

American Apparel Waffles on Flip Flops

According to one of our American Apparel moles, the infamous flip flops they were selling, made in Thailand, not by hardworking Mexican imports given fair wages, health benefits and all the Blackberry PDAs they can eat… have been pulled.

• Alright, Woot!: You got me. I resisted the Logitech Bluetooth Headphones for iPod, but today’s generic ‘for MP3’ version for $35 is a steal—these things were $130 under a year ago, and they even review pretty well.

Frictionless Transaction Rubs the Wrong Way

The other day, Brian swiped his debit card at Academy sports and outdoor equipment palace. Being a good consumer, he always chooses credit over debit. However, instead of having to sign a screen or a slip, the cashier handed him his bags and receipt and said, “Thanks, have a good day.” No ID, no sig, nothing.

Morning Deals Roundup

• Today’s Woot! is an inflatable bed that looks a lot better than the one I actually sleep on. Guess that’s why it’s $155. Memory foam never forgets!

Morning Deals Round Up

• Today’s Woot! is a Hitachi LCD Entertainment Projector for $575. Native resolution is 854 by 480 pixels—DVD resolution, more or less. Oh, and there’s a $100 mail-in rebate, too.

• Today’s Woot! is the Gyration Ultra Compact Keyboard and mouse for $35, shipped (and refurbished). Gyration makes those mice you can use just holding them in your hand and tilting—perfect for home theater PC rigs.
