... Whistler XTR-550 Radar and Laser Detector with Real Voice Alerts. Sounds like a good idea for anyone who lives in the middle of nowhere. You know, those random desert highways where the CHiP always sets up speed traps. For those of us who live in a regular city, I bet this thing won't work very well. But Whistler detectors DO look nice. And this Whistler XTR-550 Radar and Laser Detector with Real Voice Alerts seems like a good enough deal (more than half off what you'll find via most CSEs). Worth a shot. Maybe you can give it away as a bingo prize some day.

Whistler XTR-550 Radar and Laser Detector - $39.99

... Garmin StreetPilot 7200 7” GPS with Text To Speech and Remote, the refurbished edition. If you check the Garmin StreetPilot 7200 7” GPS with TTS and Remote reviews online, you'll see that this GPS device isn't too bad. But the Garmin StreetPIlot 7200 reviews don't tell the whole story. This is a refurb. Keep that in mind. Yes, it's way cheaper than other places, but other places usually sell it new. Refurbs are usually ok from woot, cuz they choose wisely. Just be careful. That's all I'm sayin.

p.s. the sellout.woot tonight is a Acoustic Research ARRU449 Universal Smart Remote with 2.2” LCD and Wifi (seems cool - but check the reviews before you make your final call).

I got one of these for hubby and he tells me that the Dream Cheeky USB Missile Launcher with 3 Foam Missiles is exactly what the office needed to lighten the mood on all those Black Mondays. I imagine having three of these Dream Cheeky USB Missile Launcher with 3 Foam Missiles might just cure the entire recession.

... Philips 42” 1080p LCD HDTV for only $649.99. How's it so cheap. I'm guessing there's a catch. Oh, and there is. This Philips 42 inch 1080p LCD HDTV is "recertified". Don't let that fool you though. I've seen many "recertified" things come out amazing in the end. Just look at how Kobe Bryant turned out after that whole Denver rape thing. Hehe. This thing was wooted back in October (the 26th, I think), and it's still around.

p.s. the Sellout.Woot is a Pentax Optio Z10 8MP Digital Camera with 7X Optical Zoom (grand product - here's reviews); the Wine.Woot is a Yorkville Cellars Trio (2006 Yorkville Cabernet Franc, 2006 Yorkville Malbec, 2006 Yorkville Petit Verdot); and the Shirt.Woot is called "This Machine Kills Faxes" (looks cool, but the title is lame).

I guess you can probably trust a National Geographic NG705GWSK Men’s Pioneer Series DiveMaster Strap Watch to be pretty decent, since National Geographic is such a big name. I doubt they'd waste their time otherwise. Plus, that box it comes with looks fancy.

p.s. the Sellout.Woot today is a SanDisk Sansa e250 2GB Media Player (refurbed, but the Sandisk Sansa e250 SDMX4-2048 2GB MP3 Player reviews on Amazon make it seem like its worth it); the Wine.WOot is a Roessler Single Vineyard Pinot Duo ( 2006 Savoy Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir and 2006 La Encantada Vineyard Sta.

... Reebok Precision Trainer XT Heart Rate Monitor with Chest Strap. Oh, I get it. Woot's trying to take advantage of the New Year's Resolution season. I guess it's only a few days too late. But still, good woot (price-wise and health-wise). No Reebok Precision Trainer XT Heart Rate Monitor reviews to be found. But Reebok heart rate monitors get good marks in general.

p.s. the Sellout.Woot is a Motorola Unlocked C155 GSM 850/1900 Cellphone (looks pretty worthless); the Wine.Woot is a Six Piece Bar Set and Table Mounted Cork Screw (Arcosteel 7184-0184 Stainless Steel Bar Set/Pro Wine Puller); and the Shirt.WOot is called "Gita Solo" (only good for hippie chicks - aka me).

... Philips HTS6600/37B DVD Home Theater System. This one is looking like one of hte more decent woots of the year so far. The Philips HTS6600/37B reviews are great. The comparison shopping prices are at least $100 more than this. I'd venture to say you can't really go wrong with this Philips DVD Home Theater System woot.

p.s. the Sellout.Woot is a Samsung L100 8.3mp Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (refurbished and ready to rock - good reviews too); the Wine.Woot is still a Wellington White 4 Pack (2007 Wellington Roussanne & 2007 Wellington Marsanne - good wines); and the Shirt.Woot is called "The Better To Love You With" (kinda cute AND kinda hip).

... Philips DVDR3475 DVD Recorder with 1080p Upconversion and HDMI Out. The reviews of this dvr aren't that great. But the price, especially since it's a refurb, is just about right.
