MacZot!, a new Mac software site, launched this past week. This store is using Woot's business model of selling one thing a day, and only until they run out of stock of it. Sometimes that takes all day, other times they're gone in ten minutes. I think that I was pointed to MacZot from Lifehacker and have been following their offerings all week. I decided to take the plunge yesterday morning on their MysteryZot. Yes, the first thing I decided to buy was the one thing that they weren't telling me what it was. So, for about $15 I got five new little Mac apps that they had offered earlier in the week. I was disappointed that the package didn't include some of the other apps that looked like something I might really use, but maybe now I'll give Sudoku a try.
As a solid Woot! addict, I very much appreciate the one-day-one-item sales model, and get really excited when they don't tell us what they're selling. The one time that I successfully bought a Woot Bag Of Crap I got some DVD-RW disks, a Sony remote control with silly-large buttons, a falling-apart faux-leather satchel, and some flying mosquito toy. The Sony remote control was actually very useful as a strange Yankee Swap present this past Christmas.
Now I'm off to check out a condo again. We wandered into this place last weekend during Open House Fest, and have been talking about it all week. Then a high school friend is in town all weekend, so I hope that Boston is ready to deal with spawn-of-WAG.
