WOOT-OFF IS FINALLY OVER!!!

I've been up for 68 hours + the time before it started wooting-off!!!!

I got 3 BOCs! and the Pig. And some other random stuff, which I am already starting to regret before they have even shipped

So yeah... Woot ROCKS!

Awesome. I'm going to bed now.

Re: WOOT-OFF IS FINALLY OVER!!!

woot.com

Also, from their FAQ:
Quote:
I see some orange flashing lights on the main page – what do they mean?
No, you aren't seeing a side effect from your allergy medication. You have found a Woot-Off, a short term frenzied mutation of our product posting procedure. In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally.)
I've only wooted once, but I follow the site and follow the wootoffs the best I can.

Re: WOOT-OFF IS FINALLY OVER!!!

Are you a w00ter too?

I love BOC. My favorite item. I actually got to checkout TWICE during this woot-off, but the second time it said that I already bought one, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A DIFFERENT SET... Oh well, guess they have to be fair...

I really should sleep, but I just had 3 mountain dews and chocolate because I thought this would continue...

Oh well,
Jacob

Re: WOOT-OFF IS FINALLY OVER!!!

It was a good wootoff, indeed. I got my first BOC, plus that 5xUSB 2.0 adapter, and the wireless music controller. I got an iRobot dirt dog from woot a few weeks ago and we use it at our build site. Cost a pretty penny but well worth not vacuuming these six weeks

Re: WOOT-OFF IS FINALLY OVER!!!

Yeah. There were 3 BOCs this time. The last one stayed there for almost 5 minutes. I was surprised. I would have had enough time to check out at least twice, had I been able to.

I am just upset that by the time the Pink Pig USB Powered FM Radios went up, I missed out on them.

Btw, there are plenty more deal a day sites like w00t.com around.
