Does Anybody Woot?

[mikeyboy]

I've been checking out sellout.woot (http://sellout.woot.com/) and woot (http://woot.com) for deals and picked up a couple of things at great prices. Anybody else do this? Any good deals received? Any horror stories? Always check user comments before buying.

I have been using Woot probably for about a year and I absolutely love it.

I haven't bought alot but the best deal I got was a Roomba for $25

[JPMNICK]

i never remember to check, but i just added it to my RSS feed

[Badinia]

I have a woot addiction. I have bought some awesome stuff. I love techmology.

Great stuff:

Swatch smart-watch with weather, news, etc. via MSN direct
Two Nanos for cheep
Internet tablet for $120- suck it, Iphone!
Heart rate monitor for cheep
Cameras
etc.

A woot-off will kill my whole day as I refresh the screen and pray for a Bag of Crap.

[MobCounty]

Never heard of it.. Reading up now. It looks very interesting.

[underdog]

I bought a Roomba off of woot, and some other random shit, too. I buy a lot of shirts off of shirt.woot.com. There's also wine.woot but they won't ship to Mass.

ZOMG! That's awesome. I am listening to a pair of headphones I bought in the next-to-last Woot-off (April's Woot).

[BrooklynKat]

Oh hell yea. Try grabbing a bag o' crap. Impossible! :wallbash:

I Woot. Got a sweet 7.1 DTS sound card for my computer a while back, and a roomba.

[Reephdweller]

I woot. I bought the Dyson vacuum they had the other day, and I love their shirt woots.

[AF Mike]

Woot Rocks !!!

I’ve been buying their stuff for years without an issue. The HP laptop I’m on now is a Woot refurb that I’ve been running daily for 3 years.
Both my ipods where Wooted, as well as a ton of less useful but, at the time of purchase, cool electronics.
Woot offs are crack addicting and bag-o-craps elusive.
The shop gattos love the screaming monkeys:

http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm164/afmike_bucket/gattos_woot.jpg

[Badinia]

It's very brave of that cat to continue to play with the monkey that cost him his eye!

[reillyluck]

woot...woot! thats the sound of the police!


only cool people will get that reference.

[AF Mike]

It's very brave of that cat to continue to play with the monkey that cost him his eye!

Meet the shop gattos:

Walter is on right. He has one eye and a snaggle - tooth.
His sister Missy is on the left. She has one and a half eyes
and perfect fangs. They are fierce.

Woot and their screaming monkeys are in no way responsible
for the physical deformities of the shop gattos. All Woot liabilities
either expressed or implied in no way pertain to feral cats.

[Cockstrong]

I love the woot. Woot-off's make my work day fly by.

Shirt.woot is also a good time, especially for the random mystery shirts.

[mikeyboy]

Woot-off today on woot.com (http://woot.com).

[Furtherman]

Woot-off today on woot.com (http://woot.com).

What is a woot-off? The woot page doesn't say anything about it.

[Freakshow]

Usually woot sells one item per day, but on a woot off, they sell multiple items switching to the next item whenever something sells out. You can catch some good deals, or sometimes there are a lot of iPod accessories and stuff nobody really wants.

I suppose you'll ask about the Bag o' Crap next...

[mikeyboy]

You can use mywoot.com (http://www.mywoot.net/) to track when they switch products during a woot-off. Some things take a long time to sell out. Some things take seconds. The bluetooth headsets they just had for $7.99 were probably gone in under 2 minutes.

[mildly amusing]

if you're a fan of woot, you should check out midnightbox.com...same premise...

[JustJon]

I've been following on my twitter feed (http://www.twitter.com/justjon), and really popular things are dropping in under 5 min, most things in under 15 min, and a Dyson Vaccuum hung there for 2 hours.

Contemplated buying a Roomba, but haven't yet.

[Death Metal Moe]

Fuck me man, just missed an AWESOME Kodak digital camera with 10x optical zoom for $110. refub.

This shit moves FAST! I'm gonna be glued to Woot all day at work.

This site rocks the fat ass, I check it every morning before my news sites and other assorted garbage.

Try mywoot.com (http://www.mywoot.net/) for notifications that they go to the next item.

It probably won't make you feel any better, but I picked up that camera off woot a few weeks ago and I love it. It's a great camera for the price.

[Badinia]

OOh, there's a tiny mobile PC up now...I don't need it...but I want it...sigh.

[mikeyboy]

I wanted the Kodak printer dock for $30, but hesitated to check the specs and missed out.

for some reason it reminds of that photo of those 2 little kids that were head of a rebel group a couple years ago

[JustJon]

I know, it's pretty slick, and I seriously contemplated it, but decided to save my money...

Do it. I love my roomba.

Plus, it attacks my cats, which I find hilarious.

I love my Roomba. Not this one, because she broke it, but I love my new Roomba.

[IMSlacker]

Pistachios? WTF?

[Death Metal Moe]

These fucking pricks are just sitting there laughing at us all cursing their bad Woots in between the amazingly awesome ones.

[booster11373]

Holy Shit are there good deals on this site, I just bought a $90 dollar portable DVD player

[JustJon]

How many 5lb bags of pistachios did YOU buy?


And yeah, I want a Roomba so I can run it during the day while I'm at work because I am a lazy single guy :smile:

[mikeyboy]

You can get a portable player for cheaper, but considering it's also an SD card reader and iPod video dock, that's pretty sweet. I'm surprised it hasn't sold out already.

[Badinia]

I did buy the pistachios, because I so rarely buy Woot stuff for my spouse, and he has a well-documented pistachio addiction. His nails are always ragged and his pockets are full of empty shells.

[Badinia]

Especially since it is playing the Pinball Wizard scene from Tommy!

Woot-off today on woot.com (http://woot.com).

My mother told me if I woot off too much I'd go blind. I proved her wrong I can still see 20/20

[mikeyboy]

It's past 1:00 am and it's still going. Is it another day of woot-offs? That's both good and bad.

[underdog]

It's past 1:00 am and it's still going. Is it another day of woot-offs? That's both good and bad.

I think this is the longest woot off I've seen.

Also, there's 3 other woot sites, if people haven't found them yet.

http://shirt.woot.com - A new $10 t-shirt every day
http://sellout.woot.com - Cheap stuff sold with yahoo
http://wine.woot.com - Wine, only updates once a week on Sunday Night / Monday Morning

[Chigworthy]

So normally it's just one item for the whole day?

[mikeyboy]

Yep.

[Death Metal Moe]

[Death Metal Moe]

Get these motherfucking golf balls OFF OUR WOOT!!!

Who the fuck golfs in the dark anyway? Fuck off.

Give us electronics shitdicks!

[PhishHead]

golf balls still going.

I wish they would put up like a 750GB harddrive for $40 i could really use one.

[mikeyboy]

Anyone read their forums? They can be pretty useful to learn about a product during a normal woot, but turn in to retarded cat pic hell during a woot-off.

There was a refurbisehd 8gig up yesterday for like $70. Got my co-worker to finally sign up and that was his 1st purchase, not bad.

The $30 would make a nice, cheap gift I guess. They're not useless, there's just too many of them.

With the amount of Woot stuff you buy them, do your kids even know the definition of the word "no"?

[mikeyboy]

I think it's a bag of random stuff that you get for $3. I understand that they go extremely quickly. Sometimes it is just crap, but sometimes it's actually pretty good. Apparently someone got a big LCD or plasma TV last time they did a woot-off.

I don't know what the screaming monkeys are.

[Chigworthy]

Are all the electronics refurbished? And are they refurbished well?

[Badinia]

Some are refurbs, some are not. The refurbs are by the manufacturer, not by Woot. Woot is more like an electronics clearinghouse. Most items have a warranty.

I got my Bags o' Crap yesterday.

I got a CZ tennis bracelet, a three pack of "Instajack"s and a digital indoor/outdoor car thermometer.

They did come in a great Woot bucket, so that's cool.
