Go my bag of crap in. I got:
1- Go Duster (pretty cool since I need a duster) 1- Poor ass Mossimo bath/product set (will probably give to a bum if they'll even take it) 6- iGo Wall8 Universal Chargers (I don't really need 1 let alone 6...anybody need one?) 1- Timex Sansa Alarm Clock ($80 a Best Buy but the fucks changed their exhange policy so I can't take it back without a receipt. Anybody got a cheap Sansa they want to sell?)
All and all I'd give it a B. My first bag of crap had junk whereas this one actually had items of value. The alarm clock and Go Duster are well worth the $3 + $5 shipping. The chargers will be worth the warm feeling as I'll probably give them away. The Mossimo set will be worth it to everyone because a homeless person will now be able to wash in a fountain or bojangles bathroom sink.

This Slacker thing looks pretty tempting.
![](http://enstxzrnsprxt.6hops.net/Slacker_2GB_WiFi_Internet_Radio_Player_e1jStandard.jpg)
Been listening to the radio for a few hours, seems pretty good so far. I have an 80 gig Zune, but I don't always have it with me. I think this could be a good player to keep at the other house. If I hate it, I could always sell it on Ebay. I could probably get at least $40 for it.
I don't know why the thing has to be so damn big though. 12/1/2008 6:04:58 AM

I was very close to getting one, but I need a new ipod so I guess I'll have to settle with an ipod touch with the pandora app. Only downside is needing wifi, but I get all the other nifty crap with the touch as well as more storage. 12/1/2008 12:27:57 PM

evan All American 27701 Posts user info edit post |
yeah, i was thinking about getting one, but then i remembered i have pandora on my iphone and it works exceptionally well over 3g
so no need for wifi, i can get it anywhere... only problem is when i go to wilmington, it's only EDGE... but it still sounds halfways decent and it never has to rebuffer. 12/1/2008 1:12:52 PM

Quote : | "Attention, fleetwud:
Welcome to Woot's first official recession-era newsletter! For the next 12 to 24 months, all citizens are expected to fret over, worry about, or even directly experience the nadir of a consumerist society - OMG! What will we do when we stop buying stuff? Economists now agree that we're headed through a prolonged period of decreased consumer spending (you really need an advanced degree to come up with insights like that). Beyond that, it's anybody guess. Will the only growth sectors in the economy be shoe repair, pipe salvage, and roadside apple sales? Or will we bring on a quick recovery by doing patriotic things like buying stuff we can't afford and spending more money than we make?
As a retailer, it'd make sense for us to fall in with the BUY STUFF, AMERICA conga line. But by now, you know that we at Woot never do things the "normal", "sensible", "rational", "intelligent" way. We're not about to follow the herd over a cliff. When we go over a cliff, it's because of our own poor judgment, not someone else's. That's been our credo since about five minutes ago, when we first thought of it. And we've stayed true to it ever since.
That's why we're encouraging you and your fellow wooters to save this holiday season. Save your money! Save until you pull a saving muscle. Horde your money until you are literally choking on it. Save until maybe, like, mid-February or so, when the market will be a-glut with great deals for the taking every day. You'll avoid the crowds, take advantage of desperate retailers, and not have to hear "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time" even once.
Sure, maybe you'll disappoint some of your loved ones. But if they really love you, they can wait a couple of months, especially if your finances are at stake. Besides, if your so-called loved ones wanted you to set yourself on fire, would you? Of course you wouldn't. And that's the kind of independent thinking that will one day break the mindless conformity of our consumerist holiday ways.
But be warned: you'll want to stay far away from Woot.com this week. The breadth and scope of bargains we'll be offering - especially starting Tuesday morning at midnight - will be powerfully tempting. They could even lead you back down the spend-spend-spend path with the rest of the sheep. And that would make us sad enough to cry while we're taking your money.
See you in February!
