Little background. I love Woot.com First things, do you all follow Woot? If you don’t, you need to stop what you’re doing and look right now. And Kids.Woot, and Wine.Woot, and Shirt.Woot.

Ok, now that you’re back. Woot is this wonderful site that provides the Woot deal of the day, something amazing, often electronic things, and always cheap. The Woot deal of the day is available until its sold out, and then there is a new one at midnight. Shipping is $5 on anything. Same for the Kids.Woot, Wine.Woot, and Shirt.Woot.

I am currently wearing the Shirt.Woot from Saturday, which is Smorse Code.

Sorry for the bad picture, but trust me that the shirt is awesome.

The best part is the Woot Off, where they have deals that are listed until Sold Out, and then they list a new one! Phenomenal deals, and I will admit that I have sat and just hit refresh over and over again during a Woot Off.

Now I like flipping things. As in buying something for cheap, and selling it for more. I attempted it with baby clothes from the Carter’s Outlet. I use the word ‘did’ loosely, because somehow that didn’t work out and so they’re all in my Top Secret Baby Tote. But my all time best flip was an entire set of Pottery Barn nursery bedding that I bought for $25 at a garage sale, and sold on eBay for $150.

But I digress.

Today was Woot Off. I was perusing the deals (obsessively clicking refresh) and came across something cool: a Peg Perego stroller. Consistently getting high ratings on Amazon, the particular style that was on Woot was retailing for, I kid you not, $699. How much was it on Woot? $149 with $5 shipping. I flipped. I called Marmot.

Me: Babe, we need to buy this stroller. I’m going to sell it on eBay and we can make like $500!
Marmot: We don’t need a stroller.
Me: Not for us! To sell!
Marmot: We don’t have the money to be buying baby stuff.
Me: NOoo! To SELL!
Marmot: You’ve done that before, and all the baby crap is in that tote you think I don’t know about!
Me: Babe I’m serious!! $500!!
Marmot: Yep, that was a great idea with the baby clothes. $100 of baby clothes for eBay my ass.
Me: I know, but this one is totally for real, I will actually sell these!
Marmot: And how many baby items did you sell?? Well let’s see…oh right, none. Whoops!
Me: $500!! Do you want $500!?! I’ll let you spend it on Marmot gear!!

And while we’re on the phone discussing….it sells out. It SELLS out. It SELLS the F*** out!! I was so mad I hung up on him.

I had to call JuneBug to be reminded why I don’t want to kill him, and that yes, next time I’m not asking him and just going ahead and maxing out the credit card. I felt better, but still didn’t speak to him for the rest of the day.

Soo….anyone need some Carter’s baby clothes? I know someone.
