I predict a Woot Off!

[unome]

Just got my first (and maybe only) Woot newsletter and at the bottom was the quote,

"OK, we're gonna let you go now, because we've got lots of product to write about
before Thursday. Thanks for reading this far - hope you got plenty of sleep last
night..."

I'm not sure but I think I smell woot off!

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I didn't see a more appropriate forum.

Nice catch. I didn't read that part very well.

Btw this should have been posted in OT but thx for the tipoff.

I read that too. I assumed it was a woot off as well. Was wondering if someone would make a thread about it.

It will start at 0100 EDT/0000 CDT. (Which would be 0000 EST)

from my experiances, they will have 1 or 2 good product and the rest is fairly useless stuff but it all depends, sometimes they have all good stuff and sometime they have all crap

Don't forget the possibility of the ever elusive "Bag o' Crap"
They haven't sold one of them for over 2 months.
The last time they sold on in a woot off it lasted 16 seconds and they sold over a thousand if I remember correctly.

 

[araczynski]

didn't know they had woot-offs, bought 2 things there so far, but guess haven't been there long enough to see this woot-off thing before.

16 seconds eh? so the site will get hammered, and by the time your page finally loads it'll all be gone? kinda sucks.

What is the bag o' crap? I was able to catch my first woot off last month. What sucks is that woot is actually located probably 15 minutes from my house, so I have to pay taxes.

Excellent deal !! Bring on the pilferage !!!

 

[arnott]

check this alerter : http://wootalert.opensight.net/

For last woot-off I got e-mail about 20 mins before.

I don't live in the same state as woot, but if I remember correctly there is a coupon code that will counteract taxes if you're in their state.

I don't remember the code, but what it does is give free shipping to all TX residents because they have to pay tax. Doesn't help much on the really expensive items, but $5 saved is better than nothing.

I think it's only if the order price is over a certain amount.

Or something.
