Damnit I actually wanted it, they're awesome little things... Why do I always miss stuff I want =/

I wouldn't mind having one but I had to pass. Maybe they will have some other stuff I want. I should probably take some of my drugs and stay up all night and feel like crap tomorrow but I don't think I will. Of course, as soon as I go to bed they will have everything I would spend money on right now.

[AG206]

i'm confused.... i thought they do one deal a day.... neh?

[MrGalaxie]

i'm confused.... i thought they do one deal a day.... neh?

Not during a woot-off. They sell until the item is sold out, then they put up a new item until it sells out, repeat...

I'm timing out on woot.com now.

[Patrick Bateman]

i'm confused.... i thought they do one deal a day.... neh?

Not today.

Sites not working for me anymore.

[SmokeRngs]

Not during a woot-off. They sell until the item is sold out, then they put up a new item until it sells out, repeat...

I'm timing out on woot.com now.

You're not the only one timing out. It's rather annoying. If I wasn't able to access other pages I would have thought my damn ISP crapped out on me for the third or fourth day in a row.

[Erasmus354]

Not funny. My heart stopped for a second.

:D Well that would kill the site most likely hehehe

[Retro295]

If that were a real deal...I'd jack my brothers credit card and order it. Then sell it, and give him the cost + 100 bucks, and keep the rest. I'm sure he wouldn't mind...

[[21CW]killerofall]

I want this woot to last another 10:30 hours until I can get some sleep and get back from work.

[pazhman]

Not funny. My heart stopped for a second.

Same here, almost shit my shorts.

[Doppleganger144]

Is it me or is it still down?

[SmokeRngs]

As it's been down for over a half hour now, I think I will update my OS, start up some torrents and get to bed.

Some ship must have cut the undersea cable coming out of Woot HQ. :p

Was it not an abandoned anchor?

[RussianHAXOR]

Seriously, this happens too much.

[Hallow]

It's because retards are using the Reload Every extension for Firefox and have it set to 5 seconds. It consumes too much bandwidth and makes me sad. :(

[pstang]

Seriously, this happens too much.

its a lot better than it used to be... its been a while since the site went down like this though, so i dont know what you mean by happens too much

No more crappy headphones...

Enter the crappy iPod clock radio!

[Gazoo]

I'm actually looking for a radio clock. One that doesn't look like balls and has ability to set wake times for each day of the week (different).

$50 is a bit steep, especially since I don't even have an iPod, but this isn't too bad, wonder if it has a audio out jack. heh.

[Konrad]

Well done Pazham, very well done.
Right clicked.

NavMan N40i NavPix 3.5" Touchscreen GPS - $150

[AG206]

ick it was refurb too

[jonjon0nline]

Belkin is a good deal. Lowest on Pricegrabber is $94 shipped.

[DigitalEmperor]

Belkin is a good deal. Lowest on Pricegrabber is $94 shipped.

Are you ready for a piece of technology that will not change your life? Are you prepared for a wireless card that will not change the way you think about wireless networking forever? Wireless networking doesn’t take a bold new leap forward with the Belkin Wireless Pre-N Desktop Network Card. Once you’ve used it, everything will ever be the same, ever again.

Woot makes me lulz.

[AG206]

meant on ipod dock clock

[carajean206]

This gross ideazon mouse needs to sell out.

[AG206]

are all woot-offs this lame?

[pstang]

are all woot-offs this lame?

yes, dont look at it anymore...lol;)

[Killa_2327]

Bought 3 of those suckers, 12 64mb memory sticks for $5.03 sounds good enough. :)

[Veeb0rg]

now you know things are bad when the price is a penny and they don't sell out immediately

[j0j081]

woot offs are good if you like buying refurbed crap that nobody wants. I'd rather shop at Kmart for some new disco balls.

[l3ender]

Why does this always happen at the worst time for me? I was completely booked yesterday so I didn't even notice until now, and my day today isn't much better. :( :(

[DigitalEmperor]

Creative Zen V 2gb MP3 Player - $25

Pretty decent deal there IMO.

[blbrchnk]

It took this MP3 player 4 minutes to get down to a sliver of the bar left, and now it has been 20 minutes without it selling out? What gives?

[Blaineikans]

woot offs are good if you like buying refurbed crap that nobody wants. I'd rather shop at Kmart for some new disco balls.

Nice insightful cross post on the anandtech forums. :rolleyes:

The Zen V 2GB for $25 looks like a great deal especially to me considering I paid $200 for my 4GB about a year and a half ago.

Edit: VVV yeah people always complain about how crappy the woot servers are... but they get a ton of traffic on woot-offs. I wanna see what their user traffic is on days like these.

[Diashto]

Wow.. woot's servers must really be taking a hammering. The weatherstation thing has come and gone twice now, form what i've seen. now getting "Server Too Busy".

[PanzerBoxb]

Those pesky Refresh Monkeys are killing the servers.

[Verge]

yes, wootalyzer is broken

[Cold Dark Shadow]

might pick up one of those power converters

[dlaxman31]

"server is too busy "

damn

[Cold Dark Shadow]

Great. We broke Woot again

[Clockworks]

"server is too busy "

Did I miss the coveted bag?

EDIT: Nope, I did not. I think their hamster-powered servers are just in need of more food. Or more hamsters, whichever they prefer.

Geez... whose idea was it to exclude 1/2 of the states and everyone under 21 with the wine woot? :rolleyes:

5.1 speaker system. Can't believe this thread has been dead for 2 hours...

The wine and the golf clubs kinda killed it, nobody was buying the wine so it just sorta sat there.

I bought a bag. $25 for 5lbs of quality pistachios isn't a bad deal at all.

Now, a bigass roll of semi-gloss photo paper...that's some serious Woot-off killin'.

Well, I don't necessarily mean to say that its a bad deal, just strange.

[Retro295]

The roll of paper is a great deal..but who has a 54 inch industrial printer laying around?

[Parja]

...just strange.

Can't argue with that!

[SmokeRngs]

I would actually use the paper for something other than printing. I won't buy any but it would probably be something good for a daycare place. Just roll a bunch of it out, tape it off so it stays and let the kids go nuts with crayons, markers or whatever.

It would also be good for making large handwritten signs and banners. I remember doing this with rolls of butchers paper when I was a kid. My old neighbor was a butcher and he always had rolls of the stuff around and it was great for birthdays anniversaries and stuff like that.

No clue but I personally would not go for it. When I used to use a radar detector (before they had laser) I always had an Escort unit. They are expensive but work well. Just remember, you normally get what you pay for and a cheap radar/laser detector like this usually isn't worth the money.

I'm just waiting and waiting for these things to sell out so we can move on to the next item.

[ColdAudio]

WOOHOO!!!! Finally got a bag of crap, haven't gotten one in any woot-off until now.

Last 4 items have gone insanely fast.

They're getting slammed yet again... :(

Went from USR card (sold out) to Roomba for $150, crashed, now back to sold out USR card...

[Retro295]

Seems to be stable again on the Roomba. They must have a lot of these. The price is right and it's taking a while to sell out.

Insane.

Bird Flu Kit

Is this for real?

[squares]

LOL @ bird flu kit.

[carajean206]

im disappointed in this woot off.

[l3ender]

I missed basically the whole thing. SUUUUUUCKY.

Anyone grab anything of note?

[derek533]

Horrible woot off. Even though I missed it, I am glad now after looking back and seeing what was sold. The only thing I would have bought, may have been the Sansa 4gb.

Seems like as woot has gotten more popular, their offerings have suffered.

[Parja]

Anybody get their Bags of Crap yet? Curious to see what people are getting this time around.

[Blaineikans]

Got mine today.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f226/Blainedh/P2260088Medium.jpg

Some weird stuff for my first woot! R/C car, cowboy set complete with whiskey flask, pretty sweet nike mp3 holder thing and a camera bag that looks like a purse... hmm...

[133]

is that a walkie-talkie in a cowboy kit? lol

[Directron]

I never could find anything on woot that I would want to buy spontaneously. Nothing. I feel like I am missing some experience that everyone gets.

I am being weird?

[sprtnbsblplya]

Better yet, is that Chuck Norris Texas Ranger on the cover?

[revenant]

[Parja]

Yup, agreed.

I got the same goofy camera bag in mine, a police set similar to that cowboy set, and an IR remote controlled helicopter.

[NeoGohan]

is that a walkie-talkie in a cowboy kit? lol

lol laughing so hard at work right now.
