Never sent a notification... someone was having trouble finding the backup
program in Windows and I just happened to already have it on my site as a
tip. So, just pasted a link to the page. Keyboard Cowboy happened to inquire
further on the link.
:o)
Woot... I found it awhile ago on recommendation from a friend. They
basically sell one item per day and that's it. Usually the item is
dramatically cheaper than regular retail. On occasion, the item may be
refurbished, but it always states so in the production information page.
I've bought from them before and received the product without any problems
within about 5 days. The shipping cost is cheap too, usually just $5. And,
when they have nothing to sell, they have a "bag of crap" I think as its
called. Just some miscellaneous stuff they sell for like $5 I think. Never
ordered that, so can't say what's in there.
But, to answer your question, there's no need to sign in or give them any
more info than needed to make a purchase... credit card info, name, address
(and I think email, but don't remember). Email may be optional. I never got
spammed from them, to my knowledge, although nowadays who knows where the
spam is coming from. In general they're a regular store. I think they are a
wholesaler that just sells off surplus items. If you read the forums, like
in their first few posts back when they began, someone asked them who are
they, and they basically responded that they wish to remain anonymous as the
actual company name, as they don't want their clients getting pissed off at
them selling this stuff cheaper than retail (or probably what they sell to
the clients).
You can get more info on them here:

Hi Troth
Must have missed your notification about your web site.
What is this Woot thing? Did a read on your site, went there, do you have to
sign in to buy or what??
