Interesting marketing concept.

If you're not familiar with woot.com, they put up one and only one item for sale each night at midnight. They don't tell you how many they have available at that price and once it is sold out, you lose. There ain't no more. At midnight, even if there are still some available, the item is replace with a new item.

Sort of a Cabbage Patch Doll phenomenon in the micro.

interesting..... but to what end? if you're only selling one item, then what good does it do all your potential customers?

I think it's the novelty of it that generates the traffic. If you're lucky enough to be one of the first buyers and you get a good price on an item and the item sells out, then you get the satisfaction of knowing that you're one of the few that got the good deal. Then, you can tell your friends, "neener neener neeener... j000 are teh weeenar!"
