Vampire power is essentially a non-issue, especially with modern appliances. Standby power - Wikipedia
Purchased last week from Woot.
$7.99 with a list price of $24.99.
There is something misleading here …
and $6.00 I’ll never get back!
iGo Power 4-Outlet Surge Protector
$5.99 + $5 = $10.99 
Cheaper on other sites
The +$5 shipping per item on this Woot off isa killing my enthusiasm
Is this a joke? So does it open the connection if…the connection is open?
Combined with the comment about 10% of power being vampired it sounds like a total scam, but hey, if it keeps the wootoff going then you should all buy 3 I guess.
I’m sure we’re not the only ones who feel this way.

I agree. I just canceled 3 of these. Woot is systematically taking itself out of competition in the marketplace. Or should I say Amazon is taking Woot to the Wonderful World of Recycle Bins?
What happened to the $5 you can ship all day, I am sure not buying some items just because they made this change. Its all about the bengamins and they are not getting mine right now where they normally would be.
I truly miss that feature. I would have bought a lot more during this woot-off if the $5 all-day shipping were still in place.
The new system is a w00t off killa. Daily, its fine except when the pillows sold out for me. Biggg mistake W00t!
