I see only one item, do you sell anything else?
What is the schedule for new items?
I missed yesterday's item, can I still get one?
I want to talk to a live person there, can I call you?
Will I receive customer support like I'm used to?
How do I return a defective product?
Can Woot start listing sale prices in the blog entries?
Will Woot ever tell us how many units remain available in a given sale?
Why is the "I Want One" button bouncing around?
I see some orange flashing lights on the main page – what do they mean?
Does Woot offer an RSS feed? Hey, what's an RSS feed anyway?
How do I create a Woot account?
What payment options do I have?
What are my shipping options?
How can I track my order?
Why isn't my state/country/province listed; do you ship internationally?
I'll take them all, what is my discount?
I'm a wholesaler/retailer/Bill Gates, can I buy from you in bulk?
I see some kind of weird-looking pope hat on the main page. What's that about?
What do you mean "the first and only place?" Everything is attainable.
How come? Where do "LAUNCH EVENT" items come from?
If this LAUNCH EVENT item isn't available anywhere else, how am I supposed to shop around and make comparisons?
Why do you keep putting LAUNCH EVENT in all caps?
Maybe I'll just wait until this item becomes more widely available, so I know what other users think of it.
What is the Community?
What's with the Blog?
How do I use the message board?
Which Woot staff people use the message boards?
What is not allowed in the community?
What is this "podcast" you speak of?

Can you see Santa coming with these? That is, if Rudolph's nose is not shining?

I just bought a pair,was thinking about it sence they had them on Woot before.Not bad reviews from other Wooters,so what the heck,try them.got alot of ratcoons that come into the pool area through the cat door for there food.Tried puting the sliding cat door in one night,so they tore through the screen,and yes tried bring their food in at night,but the pain in the a-- ratcoons still came in,cought some in a trap,but now I can find them at night,and shoot the problem ones,ya I know, some of you will think its mean,but sometimes you got to due things you would normbaly not do.

Anyone who was expecting military issue night vision goggles from Woot....well.....

Anyone expecting military grade night vision for less than a few thousand dollars from ANYWHERE....well....

$30 might get you military grade socks...

Welll ... no.

"Real" night-vision technology - the kind that costs "real money" - does the light-enhancement thing. In theoretical, absolute darkness they'd be useless.

These do detect infrared, light that's just a bit shorter in wavelength than the red our eyes can see.

This is an amazing post! With ratcoons, you gotta due what you gotta due. Especially if you cought one.

Holy guacamole! These were going when I woke up. Since then, cooked/ate breakfast, checked e-mail, shaved, showered, dressed, made thermos of coffee, drove 25 miles to work and am now drinking said coffee -- and still they are going...

for the stalker on your list...gee I'm glad my exhusbands don't shop on woot!

Yes... a what a bargain you missed!

MSRP $529.
Woot off price $89.88

Actually to review all the items you missed. Go to this URL:

Hypothetically, could one replace their LCD monitor back-light with an IR bulb, buy this nifty item, and game in TOTAL darkness until the wee hours??? I mean, I think the days of ambient monitor light are over...

spectrumdata wrote:I got one for a friend. He picked it up yesterday. It's basically just a little video camera/recorder. The night vision part is two infrared LEDs in the front. If they're like those in my security cameras, you'll see a red glow. Makes it harder to stalk someone. Clarice would have shot them right out.

The big LEDs can be switched on/off. With them off, I don't think anything else glows, but I'm not positive.

Nice, totaly getting a pair of these, cant beat em for that price. Now i can see what im doing when im pulling on my ponie late at night in the dark watching my roommate and her friends have there sleep overs!

Relax everyone, it'll be over soon.

I boought a pair of these a couple weeks ago. Not worth the effort.

Why isn't this on Kid's Woot?

But not to the point of being able to do thermal imaging.

So they enhance your vision not by gathering more light in the visible range of wavelengths, but by extending the range of wavelengths you can detect by just a bit. (And then converting the not-visible to visible.)

The very reason that these use an LCD screen and a camera - all cameras see the light given off by IR LEDs.

You need to look that closely to find your pony???

Good luck. You'll probably get your neighbor's cat.

That is the answer to ONE question: The ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

These would be awesome for night paintball footage, provided you replace the strap.

I thought that most wooters were college kids.. Is this an example of the spelling taught in our institutions of higher education???

Sad.

I'm I the only one who can't post a comment on the current Woot (Canon EOS)?

Nope, it appears to dead.

Yes, it's just you. The rest of us can't even get to the comments section.

vanhecht wrote:These enhance light. These ARE NOT thermal sensing goggles, ie, heat. They merely enhance your vision by giving you improved light collection over what your eyes can do.

Yup. They're IR, but only near-IR bands (normal CCD/CMOS is sensitive there). Heat is much longer wavelengths.

Home.woot has the same problem.

All woots seem to have the same problem. Except, of course, for wine.woot, because no one wants it anyway.

how can you tell if your order went through??? Tried to order something from kids woot and then refreshed the page and I don't know if it went through... Can anyone help?

Either the Burgandy Olfactory Center is up next and they are trying to save their servers, or they knew this item sucks and they are tired of hearing us complain.
