Bamboo cases for cheap electronics is the new "put a bird on it." Don't get me wrong, bamboo is a awesomely cheap, renewable, and stylish resource, but tossing your cheap wares into a case for it makes little sense when you're just arbitrarily boosting the price up to meet the trend.

@mikeymet: $35 for a well-designed, good looking radio is "boosting the price"? What does your blanket statement have to do with the product posted? Do you have this?

It's just a design choice to use bamboo, and honestly it has been in existence in products for years in many parts of the world for its structural integrity. That's not new, well, may be to some Americans it is. But any one who has traveled a little know that's not the case.

$44 bucks for $9 max worth of components is boosting the price to me, as eco friendly as it may be. Meant no offense, just don't consider it a deal, more of a novelty.

@mikeymet: Do you go to restaurants, and tell the restaurant owners, that the food ingredients are worth only $3, while they are charging you $20 for dinner? Or the glass of wine is worth only $1 if you bought it at the store, while they are charging you $7?

No, you don't. Why? Because there is a cost in craftmanship, design and the cost of logistics to get things to you.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
