I love our Roomba. I'd have bought one if we didn't have one. Hoping for a good Scooba deal before the Woot-off is over.

[WickerBill]

Get out the way we got a Woot Off
We're pigging out down at the Woot trough
Ain't gonna stop until the Woot Off is done

See what happens when you're using an inferior Woot! tracker? Now I, on the other hand, managed to score one of the 120 available. If you're nice I'll do your floors, baby. :p

[SteveH]

feel the love

:D

That may well be the least hot thing a man can say to his wife.

With Spicoli on vacation, someone had to boost the obnoxious one-liner total.

[RaceGrrl]

Maybe... but "If you're nice I'll do your floors, baby" works for me. Haven't you heard that helping with household chores is an aphrodisiac for women?

[devilmaster]

Thanks for the link. I've been watching it off and on since you linked it - I likes the firefox toolbar addon instead of a full-page tracker (except when it tries to display 54.4999999999999999% remaining)

Alot of window dressing, but there has been a few items that I would have bought - but won't until I ask my friend who lives in Detroit if he can take delivery.

I would have been all over the 15 buck FM transmitter - belkin's model sells for 50.

The 256 meg sandisk mp3 player would be nice as a gift for my 10 year old niece.

And I don't think you can go wrong with 5 dollars shipping on a 1300 dollar 62" HDTV :rofl:

[extramundane]

Maybe... but "If you're nice I'll do your floors, baby" works for me. Haven't you heard that helping with household chores is an aphrodisiac for women?

I already do 90% of the cooking, half the laundry and anything that involves tools or noxious chemicals. So, no, never heard that. :D

[chop456]

I thought it was another "hardwood floors" euphemism. :D

Hope you got next day shipping on that Richard! :D

[SteveH]

Anyone get a box of cats?

I've missed both othem. :irked:

[nrc]

Denied! :(

[devilmaster]

Denied! :(

So lost out on the scooba.... well, perhaps scrubbing on your hands and knees is more of an aphrodisiac.....

Or booze. Just buy booze.

No, got the Scooba. Denied on the Bucket of Chicken.

Woot-off over. I also got a set of screaming monkeys.

I was too late for the monkey. :cry:

Woot! what a great concept. Sell refurbs and closeouts. Nearly all sales are impulse buys. I'm sure each month thousands and thousands more than the previous month waste pretty much an entire day watching for a bag of crap. I know I just did. ;)

The other brilliant part of it is that they've removed all expectation of customer service. "Look everybody, I've ordered $200 worth of robots and stuffed monkeys and I have no idea when they'll be shipped. Woot!" :)

No Woot-off but they did have an April Fool's Bag of Crap. Only $1,000,001 but you could get a $1,000,000 discount if you found the coupon code. We got one each. :D Now the thrill of waiting for our box of pens and underpants.

Already sold out. I'm pi$$ed. If there was one thing I really needed, it was a $1,000,000 mysterious bag of crap.

Get out the way, we got a Woot Off
We're piggin' out down at the Woot trough



An avalanche of Woots awaits you again, friends...

[nrc]

Another productive day of hitting F5. :)

[SteveH]

great woot off checker

http://www.totalfta.com/woot/

Run it in a separate tab, it keeps the per cent remaining updated in the tab. Only partially impairs your productivity this way. :D

[devilmaster]

i've been using this one since the last wootoff.....

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4458

puts a little info box on the taskbar - during a wootoff it gives the estimated percent complete.... if you right click or left click it opens the woot.com page in a new tab.

[Cam]

Another productive day of hitting F5. :)

I have a plugin to do that. But it takes all the fun out of it.

ba-bump.

[WickerBill]

Was that the shortest Woot-Off ever? One day, and done at 7:40p?

[nrc]

Perhaps the lamest.

BTW, they now also have sellout.woot.com where they have deals in affiliation with Yahoo!

[devilmaster]

ribs! Hope it's more fun than the last one.

Server seems wacked right now even though the item is nothing great. Strange.

[racermike]

Those Woot-off! customers should be thanking the world of open-wheel racing for bringing this technology to them.

[indyfan31]

Rats! Sold out. :(

[trish]

I really wanted the 2-way radio 2 pack. :(

[nrc]

Over. Just missed the BOC.

[nrc]

Wow. These things are becoming pretty routine. If trends continue this one will last three hours and feature nothing but headphones and Vector rechargeable kitchen utensils.

[tllips]

At 8:30 CST, gaming headphones are up! :rofl:

You forgot the ##$!@$# Roomba which NEVER sells. Its up now.

[SteveH]

woot's running very slow, was getting a server not avialable error but now I'm getting this

[SteveH]

This is one loooooong wootoff. I know just as soon as I leave here shortly, the BOC will appear. :cry:

[SteveH]

I just bought 3 bags of cats :D

[cameraman]

Oddly enough there does not seem to be a shortage of moving lips speaker phones:saywhat:

[nrc]

Oddly enough there does not seem to be a shortage of moving lips speaker phones:saywhat:

I would have gotten one if I could use it in my office but it looks like it's intended for cell phones. Which takes it from stupid and useless in a fun kind of way (for $1.99) to just kind of stupid and useless.

[nissan gtp]

I just bought 3 bags of cats :D

you do seem to like, um, cats :laugh:

Congrats on your Box of Crayons. Hope you get something cool.

[SteveH]

Cool? Somewhat.

2 - Logitech Cordless Headsets for Xbox
1 - cassette presentation "Building a Fee-Based Business"
1 - Samsonite Photo/Video case
1 - Remote Control Helicopter

The last two are easily worth the $8 I spent. It was fun, reagardless of what I got. Based on Woot's forum I think I did better than average. So far though, no reports of Roomba or flat screen TVs being delivered.

The headsets are for the original Xbox only. Anyone have one? Interested in some headsets for it? Pay for the shipping and they are yours.

Off to start a fee based business.......:gomer:

[nrc]

We've gotten a few things like that that would be really nice if we actually needed them.

Does the helicopter fly? More than once? :)

We got a couple of refurb 20G iPods through Woot back in September. Good deal except that they both died. Fortunately they died during the 90 warranty. Just as well, I didn't like them anyway. :yuck:

[RusH]

cats be cool ;)

Seems like some kind of crazy lightning round Woot-off going on. Everything is selling out very quickly so they must be cleaning out the left-overs.

[SteveH]

Big ol Claus at midnight and I missed it :cry:

My son just emailed me, he got 3. :woot:

Made a point to check tonight, got distracted and hit it at ten after. Denied!

Woot! Another excuse to hit F5 all day. Those of you hungry for frequent updates can finally get some satisfaction. :D

Hmm. They seem to be having a complete meltdown. :\

[extramundane]

Did Robin Miller write about them too?

How'd that happen? Double while editing a post? Odd. Must have been a horrible F5 accident :gomer:

Woot! Another excuse to hit F5 all day. Those of you hungry for frequent updates can finally get some satisfaction. :D

Great. Now we'll have updates from Malone all day.

BTW, the FF extension is much more convenient than F5ing all day.

It's only cuz I'm too lazy to start a blog. And if I did start one I'd get tired of explaining my daily rant to my wife and mom every day.

So you're stuck with me! (unless the bosses kick me out, but I'm being good!)

I need to get my head around this woot thing. I like buying stuff.

Can they please just create a roombawoot.com and get those damn things out of the woot-offs?
