== Sales model == Woot's original tagline was "One Day, One Deal" and is now "Don't work to find deals. Let the deals find you". Originally, Woot offered one product per day until its stock of that item was sold out, or until the product was replaced at midnight Central Time with the next offering. If a product sold out during its run, the next item would not appear until midnight, except during Woot-Off promotions. Woot was a forerunner in the one-deal-a-day business model. Customers could buy up to three of the sale item, although the site occasionally limited product quantity to one per customer.
