Uhh, out of curiosity... What is a woot-off?

Re: Woot off
 

It's on woot.com. The site normally sells only one item per day at a cheap price, and once that item sells out, there is nothing else to buy on the site. During woot-offs (which last from 24-72 hours, and occur about once a month), they sell things one after another. Once one item sells out, they start selling the next.

Re: Woot off
 

ha, I asked that same question about a year ago.

From wikipedia:

Woot-Off
The site occasionally deviates from the one-product-per-day model for a "Woot-Off", where a succession of products are available for a period of unannounced length, usually 24–72 hours. This mode is indicated by rotating lights and a bar displaying the percentage of product's stock remaining. When one product sells out, it is replaced within a minute or two by a new product. The percentage bar is the only indication of how much stock remains; Woot never gives the exact quantity available until after the item has sold out.
During April Fool's Day 2008, Woot staged a Woot-Off offering the same product repeatedly, except for a few brief periods when Woot sold Random Crap instead.

Bag of Crap
In lieu of typical product sales, Woot occasionally offers a blind grab bag officially called "Random Crap". Its accompanying picture has lent it the name "Bag of Crap" (BOC). The BOC contains at least three items whose value and quality are not guaranteed, but sometimes expensive items are included. The BOC typically triggers thousands of order requests and sells out within seconds. Processing a customer's order for a BOC may take over an hour.

Anyone buy anything yet this time around?
Just picked up the flying monkeys with special orange cape!

Not sure if I'm diggin' the exclamation point shirt that's up right now.

Re: Woot off
 

I got my first bag of crap, I've been trying for over a year. :yikes:

Also got a Vornado fan to help try and cure the odd temperature problems my dorm has, and I got the Pi shirt. Overall a good day.

Re: Woot off
 

When did the BOC come up? I must have totally missed it.
Oh wells, I got 3 woot monkeys, & bought something for my Dad (which he may already have, so it may be mine, but oh wells! lol)

Re: Woot off
 

BOC came up right around 3:40pm on Wednesday. Everything crashed, but I refreshed the page that Wootalyzer brought up a few times and it loaded. First time that has ever worked so I was happy.
