...RCA Dual Format DVD Recorder. Wow. I missed the bus on this one. Well, sorry for the tardiness, but at least the homegirls and I won our volleyball match. Anyways, you can actually get this on Shopzilla and Smarter.com for pretty good prices. So don't fret if it sells out. But maybe you also should'nt fret cuz the reviews aren't great. Check what 17 peeps said about this mess on Amazon. So, that and it's a refurb. Be carful kiddies.

question for the woot regulars: Does the fact that something is refurbed really matter? If so, how much?

It all depends on the price. High priced items that are refurbed are usually refurbed so well that you'd never notice, but then again, the higher the price, the greater the risk of loss if the refurb didn't go well. Its a tough algorithm to solve. Usually i just stay away.
