Ah. A Woot! mimic. Well, mimicry is the highest form of flattery, yadda yadda. Hey, OP, do you know when/how often these guys change their item for sale? I don't see it anywhere on their site (e.g. Woot! updates once a day at midnight, CST).

[edit: oh, wait. I just spotted the little, tiny note that the current item changes in 5hrs. A countdown timer. How quaint. It's at the top of the page in little letters. I notice that their selection is somewhat limited (judging by their forum, in which their past items for sale are listed.) Do I want to sign up at a new site and fork over my credit card number to this bunch of college guys, to get a cheap wireless access point for the playstation2? ..hmm....]

[edit: like Woot!, these guys charge $5 flat for shipping and handling...but then, they want an extra $1 for shipping each additional item if you order more than one.]

I got my D-Link wireless router for $30, and that thing is kickass. The router would allow for more flexibility.
