Wow. I see. I just remembered about woot and told my mom about it tonight. LOL. I also wondered when the next woot-off would be. Talk about coincidence.

I predicted that there would be a woot-off some time this week. I'll find the IM conversation later....
So far, it pretty much been a bunch of junk. But thats what a woot-off is :D
Well, I'm off from school, so it looks like I'll be up for this one...

Aye... I,Robot I love ya, but Roombas = w00t killer.
I should just stop complaining I guess and buy one.
One of these days.
So.. besides the different colors of all these Roombas, what the heck is the big difference between them all?

You've got me there. This one says "Discovery" if that means anything at all.

I've been watching it for two days (mostly in hope for a bandolier of carrots). I want to see a 3 day woot-off. I don't really have anything to do tomorrow :)
Anyone snag anything this woot off?

It their newest blog post, they say it's a 3-day Woot-off ("it takes a lot of effort to put on a mammoth three-day Woot-Off like this"). I just want a BOC to pop up so I can get some sleep (and I've got lots to do tomorrow).
The only woot I got was the really cheap headphones (http://www.woot.com/Blog/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryId=2480).
Bah, they need to hurry up with the bandoliers of carrots!

Maybe I'll load my debit card tomorrow in hopes of getting something useful. Although I'd really like a new pair of {nice} headphones.
EDIT: Wow... I just saw they had a personal breathalyzer.

Overall a lame woot. Picked up the FM tuner for my ipod I bought 5 hours later yesterday evening.
Yeah, I did that a little backwards. Bought the accessory first, then the ipod but.. meh.

LOL. Nice. Don't go over large bridges with the FM tuner, though. They tend to screw with the transmission. I think the bridge acts as a large amplifier and will mix the tuner with the station it's set to play on. Very annoying. ;)

I missed the BOC, but there will be more again...
Also Elgin, be ready to have to reset your radio to the different preset stations on the FM tuner because large trucks, or anything with CB radio in it will mess with it really bad and force you to change to a different channel
Over all it didn't seem like there was much of anything to even waste money on.

Just some figures:
43,637 total items sold during the Woot-Off (103 different items were up for sale)
+ 10,000 shirts
For a grand total of 53,637 total items sold in 3 days.
17,879 items a day
745 items a hour
12 items a minute
Woot Wage (minus the shirts) $1,836,438.
-----
I snagged my self one of the shirts. (Womens Small, I ordered it then went to the home page and it was sold out :) opps!)

Missed the BOC (driving to Alexa's house), but I got the t-shirt... oddly enough I ordered it over the Wii... :-P

Agreed. I didn't really see anything overly appealing to me.

It's finally over. Time to get some sleep after a rather lame woot-off. I ended up with the Logitech QuickCam and the t-shirt (in addition to my previously mentioned headphones).
I missed the BOC by 5 minutes. The previous item was under 10%, but I was being pressured to leave (was going to see a show in Boston). So, of course, after leaving, they come up.
Maybe next time...
I missed the BOC by 1 minute! GAH! Rather lame woot-off though, there were quite a few woot killers in there. On the other hand, at least BOC made an appearance this time.

Ditto.. Was watching the woot-off at work all 3 days. The item before the Blinged out Cabbage was stalled for at least half an hour. With around 10% to go, a customer comes into my store, takes 5 minutes to take care of them, I get back, the next item is up at 100%. I read through the comments only to find out the BoC came and went already. Missed it by a minute.
Nothing spectacular this woot-off, but I did enjoy the random pictures people tend to put up in the discussion on a boring woot.
