Anyone use woot? | The Compost Bin | Forums

I've used them several times. Both times, I bought something refurbed, and both times, the item was less than stellar (possibly broken).

First thing was a GPS. The touch screen didn't work properly and and had to recalibrate it. Well it required constant recalibrating.

Second thing is my current laptop. I had a laptop go up, so I bought one from Woot in a panic. I couldn't go a week w/o a laptop, so I ended up buying a second one from Target and using that. The one from Woot just sat in the box (I never even opened it). The second laptop began having charging issues, so I broke out my Woot special, and the period key doesn't work properly. It's like it's constantly pressed. But because I had it so long, I can't send it back, etc.

I may just have crappy luck with them. They seem to be pretty popular, and wouldn't think they would last if everyone had a similar experience. The issue with my laptop is my fault for not opening upon receipt. But I figured it was still worth mentioning.

Not sure, I haven't used them that much. I do get a daily email from them,but I don't even read them.
