This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I mean a lot of the shit was refurb or overstock always. I bought a refurb Zune off Woot in 2007ish. The thing still works as a music player and is kinda awesome in form and UI.
Unfortunately I never got one of the "Bag of Crap" before they sold out, which I feel was half the charm of the site.
I bought a refurbished screen with built in VNC client or something from woot. Sweet! Set up VNC on my server, get home, fire up the screen, and it asks for DOJ login. 😳 Full stop.
Never plugged that into a network again.
Every PC I've ever purchased over the last 30 years has been a refurb.
I've never understood why people have issues with refurb machines.
