Deals.Woot

Total Woot ripoff, but with (mostly) crappier products.

I have ordered about 8 items in the last 5 months and I have been happy with everything I got from them. Watch prices are unbeatable. I got a Pulsar watch and the metal band was too small. I contacted Pulsar and they sent me free links.

not a bad deal

Most of these deals look too good to be true. The few things on here that I have recognized (maybe two "deals") have been crappy product.

I would steer clear.

I ordered a Western Digital 1T hard drive from 1 sale a day about a year ago - was a great deal, no problems-is connected to my hd dvr with tons of HD programming recorded on it.

I've ordered from them before. I agree; mostly crappier products and the shipping seems a bit much. But then, with $5 Woot shipping I'm a bit spoiled.

Woot rocks! I have returned items with no problems. if something isn't right just conatct them.

Does the Vivitar flash they're selling only sense a pre-flash via it's optical sensor, or does it also receive the flash signal from the hot shoe?

good deal. will buy one.

$14.99 Vivitar slave flash for DSLR - not a bad deal. May not be the very best, but certainly not the worst, either.

I can vouch for this site. I've bought plenty of things from them and they've always arrived. They are, however, all cheap Made in China crap, so don't buy any complicated electronics and expect all batteries to arrive dead (indicating they've been sitting on a shelf for years).

But still this is a site to watch for good deals: 2 mini flexible tripods $5 shipped, 2 LED color changing facet attachments $5 shipped, automatic skeleton watch $55 shipped, etc.

I have bought several items from them. All acceptable.
The largest purchase, literally and $'s, was a Sony 40 or 42" TV.
There was a problem with it and they sent me, via email, a return label and PAID for it to be returned.
THEY GAVE ME A FULL REFUND AND LET ME KEEP, FOR MY INCONVENIENCE, THE THREE FREE HDMI CABLES THAT CAME WITH IT.
Bottom line: Usually good deals (This is the internet, due diligence is easy. Click that mouse.) and they stand behind their sales.

My only gripe was the difficulty in locating their toll-free number. It took a few days of phone calls, persistence, and off-line research to get it. But they do answer it and respond to concerns. They make it difficult in order to encourage you to go their preferred route of email.

Looks like a deal. About half price.

Folks, it is so cheap because it is a SLAVE flash. It's triggered by the light from your onboard camera flash. It's a nice one, though, as it can interpret the rapid flashing a digital camera will do in order to try to auto-focus on a subject in dim light.

This is perfect for me, I have two SB600 flashes that I use through umbrellas as my main forward flashes, but need something cheap and basic to add behind the subject for some hair/rim lighting. Getting other high end SB's at $250-400 was just not an option for me for such basic behind the subjectlighting.. but these are perfect! Nabbed two for 30 bucks and I'm done.. now off to make some homemade snoots with cardboard and drinking straws!
