Woot-Off

[Ryan Albright]

I am very disappointed with woot. I started following woot back when it was first started. They has some pretty cool stuff like RC cars and bunch of little stuff that i didnt need but wanted. Now when i see them selling blenders 3 days a week and one of them is a refurb and the other four day's is a roomba it just makes me want to cry. Bring back the old woot stuff

hmm, i have found myslef looking on ebay to see what the products on the woot off is going for.

has anyone done this and made a good profit? Does this happen often?

Should I get this sub?

It looks nice for 40 bux.

i saw one on ebay for 10.

[whytheheckme]

I bought the sub. It has a builtin amp and it looks not too bad (except for the sirius logo...)

We'll see how it goes... I can always sell it off for what i bought it for.

haha, well there is 17% left, go buy more!

i want to buy somehting too, but it needs to be really cheap.

[whytheheckme]

Yeah. Last time I got 3 BOCs. (Go me! Go me! )

Getting over myself... Usually I don't buy a lot of stuff (I set a budget per woot-off like 100 bux or something, (all of course my hard-earned money)), but I was looking for a car sub anyway, so this was perfect.

WHOA... ALERT! ALERT! SOMEONE HELP THIS GUY, QUICK!

OK, taking a deep breather. http://www.woot.com is a website that has 1 tech deal every day. They release a new product a 1 AM EST. Once every, idk, 2-4 months or so, they have a woot-off. This is where as soon as one item sells out, another one starts. They don't say how MANY are left, rather what percentage are left. This continues from anywhere from 24-72 hours.

What makes this such a big deal is the BOC, the Bandolier of Carrots, the Bank of Canada, whatever you want to call it. Formally known as the Bag of Crap. This costs one (count 1) US dollar. Anything can come inside of this bag, usually worth more than a dollar. Last time I got it, the contents were worth about $120. There are only a limited number available, usually 1000 or 3000. They are gone in well under a minute (usually in about 17 seconds.) The trick is to keep refreshing the woot.com home page waiting for the BOC. I do this every time, for up to 72 hours. I have gotten 2 bags of crap before.

There is a lot more to know about woot, but this is a starters guide. Woot isn't just a website. It's a way of life.
