Deal of the Day - 9/9/14

Hello All,

Happy iPhone 6 day!  In only a few hours it will be announced.  On to the deal at hand.  Woot is selling a refurbished roku 3 for $67.99 shipped to your door.  This is $100 regularly and a great deal at this price.  If you have kids the PBS kids channel is great, and totally free.  Netflix, HBOGo, Youtube, and loads of other channels are on the unit or available to download for free.  It works with both iOS and Android and is not tied to one platform or another.  It is the best streaming device available right now.  Grab one if you do not have one already, you will thank me.

You can read about the Roku 3 here, here, and here.  You can find this deal here.

Deal of the Day - 10/29/13

Hello All,

Is has been a while, but here are two quick deals.

First up, a canon camera with a case and memory card for under $50.  Canon is selling factory refurbished A2200 cameras for $45.49 with free shipping.  It includes a 4GB memory card and a case.  This would be a great basic camera for anyone.  I bought one of these for my mother last Christmas and she loves it.  You can read more about the camera here, here, and here.  You can purchase it here.

If you want something with a bit more speed or zoom, Canon is selling many more models here.  With the stock currently available I would buy the ELPH 500 for my own use.

Deal of the Day - 4/24/12



Hello All,

First off, Happy birthday to Brad Wagner.  I know it is early but I doubt I will find another deal between now and your birthday.

Once again it is time for a woot-off.  Woot,wine.woot, home.woot, and kids.woot are all participating today. Good luck landing the BOC.  I scored one the last time, and I have to say it really was crap.  The only thing I got that was actually useful was a tee-shirt.  But I guess you never know what you are going to get, and that is the fun of woot and the BOC.

Deal of the Day - 2/16/12

Hello All,

Happy Belated Birthday to Terry and Josh.  Sorry not to hit you up on your actual birthday guys, but there were no good deals yesterday.  Today though, there is a great deal.  Woot is selling a refurbished 32GB Toshiba Thrive tablet for $324.95 shipped to your door.  That is a lot of tablet for a little bit of money. You can read an old post I wrote on it here. The price difference is due to the doubling of the space on the tablet.

You can find the deal here.

Deal of the Day - 2/11/12

Hello All,

Woot is selling an Philips Touch Screen MP3 Player for $94.99 shipped to your door.  It is basically an iPod Touch but running Android 2.3 instead of iOS 5.  The one potentially negative big difference is that it does not have a camera at all.  It does have an FM radio though as a positive difference over the iPod Touch.   The unit has positive reviews, which you can see here and a negative main stream review which you can find here.  The negative review seemed to be based mostly on price, which this deals price is about half of what it was when the unit was first released.  This deal is about $40 cheaper than the same thing on Amazon.

You can find the deal here.

Deal of the Day - 1/27/12

Hello All,

I would like to start this post by wishing a Happy Birthday to my wife, Laura.  Woot also decided to wish you a Happy Birthday by having good deals on HP TouchPad tablets.  You can get the 32GB for $224.99, the 16GB sold out already.  I picked up one of these when HP blew them out, and for the money they are totally worth it.  WebOS is easy to use, and you can install Android on them if you really want to.  I have not yet done that to mine as it works well enough with WebOS.  More pluses, you can plug it into any computer and move content onto and off of it, the speakers are the best I have heard in a tablet device, and if it breaks because of your kid dropping it at least you are not out $500 for an iPad.  You can find reviews here and here.

You can buy one here.

Deal of the Day - 1/18/12

Hello All,

The woot-off is still going strong today on most of the woot sites.  If you do not know about it, you can check it out here.  In addition to that Sellout.woot is selling a Toshiba HD camcorder for $64.99 shipped to your door.  This little HD camcorder is perfect for parents and children as it is cheap enough that you will not care if it breaks, it is waterproof to 6.5 feet, and it has a HDMI out so it is easy to hook up to a TV.  You can find some reviews here, and here and you can view sample video here.  One last thing, this camcorder is $65, do not expect mind blowing HD video, but in good light and in places where it might get wet or wreck a better camcorder, it will work really well.

You can find this deal here.  I would recommend buying this for it right away as well, so you can record video when it gets to your house.

We bought a Kodak PlaySport Zx3 before we had our daughter, and it is basically the same thing.  It is waterproof to 10 feet, but outside of that they are very similar.  We bought that model over the newer Zx5 as the Zx3 has an interchangeable battery.  The Toshiba has that as well and is about $50 cheaper, so I would buy this if I were in the market.

Lastly, happy birthday to the not so little Andrew Kettner, man has this year flown by.

Hello All,

The hot tech product right now is tablets, everyone wants one.  If you are everyone then today is a good day for you.  Woot is selling refurbished Toshiba Thrive tablets for $285 shipped to your door.  This is a great tablet for anyone who is not married to Apple, or just wants a good general use tablet.  A couple of highlights where it beats the 16GB iPad.

  • Built in GPS
  • User replaceable battery
  • Full set of ports - USB, HDMI, mini USB, and SD card slot
If I did not have an iPad already I would be buying one of these tablets.  You can read a solid review here.  You can find this deal here.

As a bonus, if this you are nervous about refurbished, or do not like Toshiba, I would suggest the new Sony S Tablet.  The price just dropped to $399 and it is another solid tablet.  If you have a Sony TV or a PS3 then this is really the tablet for you.  You can read about it here, and buy it here.

Happy 3 month Birthday to my little peanut :-).

Deal of the Day - 12/8/11

Hello All,

Today only, Sellout.woot is selling refurbished Roku N1000 boxes for $44.99, shipped to your door.  These are similar to the AppleTV, but less money and with more content.  We have one and we love the HBO Go channel, and the Amazon streaming channel.  The units also have a lot of the big and popular channels such as NetFlix, Pandora, YouTube, and Hulu Plus.

You can find this deal here.

If you are leery of the fact that is the prior generation technology, you can get the current, second generation, hardware for $49.99.  You can find that here.  The one advantage the refurbished unit has over the new unit is an ethernet port.  The XS 2, on sale for $90, is a also a worth while upgrade.  It gives you a USB port so you can play anything on a USB stick on the Roku.

One other issue to note.  If you are running your own DNS as we are, the unit will likely fail to connect when you fire it up.  After I changed the dhcp server to use external DNS servers the unit worked great.  I am sure there is a way to fix this issue but I have not looked into it.

Deal of the Day - 9/27/11

Hello All,

First off, Happy Birthday Joey T.  I do not think you follow my little piece of the interwebz, since you hoard money and spending it makes you feel ill, but Happy Birthday anyway.  Now back to your regularly scheduled broadcasting.  Sellout.woot is selling a refurbished Keurig Elite coffee maker for $74.99 shipped to your door.
I am not an adult, so I do not drink coffee, but I hear these things are better than sliced bread and this is a great price for one.  I know of a few people that have them and universally they all love them, and paid more than this for them.  For reference this unit is $129.99 brand new and you can find refillable cups here which are both cheaper, and better for the environment.

You can find this deal here.
