Tuesday daily: partial Woot-OFF, PacSafe, ARRIS, refurbs (Epson 3LCD, Galaxy S7), Etc

If you are a fan of Woot-OFFs, three of the sub-Woots are having a Woot-OFF on Tuesday, “Gourmet” and “Shirt” and the one more likely to feature camera=related items, Sellout aka Clearance. As usual, I have no advance notice of what’s coming so it’s a YMMV adventure…

As of the time of writing they have a 32GB Sandisk microSDXC C10 memory card going for $5 with 81% left and up to ten per customer…

On the Electronics sub-Woot deal of the day they have refurbished Samsung Galaxy S7 for $100. Note that the latest model is the S10 so this is three generations behind the current flagship. But smartphones have improved greatly over the last few years, you don’t need a “latest model” ~ unlike the old days where each new cycle brought a noticeable boost in usability and performance…

Meanwhile at the Best Buy dailies they have the refurbished Epson PRO EX-9220 wireless 3-LCD 1080p projector for $550 and of home-and-gardens interest, 60-packs of Cafe Turino espresso [or if you want to irritate your barista, “expresso”] for $10 each. Note that these are for the Nespresso system, not the Keurig K-cup system.

And among the Tuesday Amazon USA gold box offerings, they have various ARRIS (formerly of Motorola) modems and routers on sale with prices ranging from $75~ to $310. Your ISP / cable company may not be very forthcoming but often times you have the option to purchase your very own modem/router instead of paying them a monthly fee/fleece 🙂 BUT check for modem/router compatibility before making a purchase. They should have a list of compatible options published online or buried in a PDF file somewhere…

And on the other side of the pond, among the Amazon Germany gold box daily deals for Tuesday in the german time zone, they have a PacSafe sale featuring a soccer team (eleven) bags of different sizes/kinds with prices ranging from 36 to 108 euro…
