Where did you go for your deals before woot?

Woot! et all haven't been around forever. Where did you do most of your deal hunting prior to woot!? Or at least prior to deals.woot...

I was sadly deal-less, except for what filtered into my inbox. Now I share those with all of you. :)

@okham: Same here. I wandered the internets a sad a lonely sole, stumbled upon Woot and now I'll never be the same.

www.dealnews.com is one of the best places I ever found. They are the reason that I got addicted into scrolling through deals! I like the way they sort their stuff too!

I've looked at them both, and I've got to say, I like deals.woot better! :)

For deals I still go to slickdeals.net. I come to deals.woot for the atmosphere.

Slickdeals is my favorite. I set deal alerts for things I'm looking for and they send me an email when deals are posted. I love the thread tools, I can sticky a particular thread so I can go back to it. You can customize your views. There are a ton of helpful people so you can ask questions and get reviews on things. And OMG, can they come up with some creative ways to buy things (stacking coupon codes, tricks, etc.). The latest fantastic deal was Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 for $9.95. I have saved a ton of money by browsing that site.

Slickdeals is, as others said, an amazing site.

I started following www.dailyedeals.com about 10 years ago and was pretty faithful for 5 years. I almost never visit that site now a days. I'm a big slickdeals, dealnews, dodtracker, fatwallet fan these days.

@samstag: Couldn't have said it better myself. Also if I am being honest I often poach deals from slickdeals and post them here.

@missellienc Yep, The other day I stacked a $50 printer return credit, $25 off coupon and price match at staples to get a sweet $199 Brother Laser Printer for $55. Awesome.

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.
