Another chance to buy good junk
Annnnd there goes my productivity for the day.
I’m looking for a good 19"-21" LCD wide screen monitor…or a radar detector (for totally legal purposes of course).
I’m hoping for a new mouse. With my luck I already missed it though.
I almost wooted one of those $5 toolsets earlier, but I eventually decided against it.
Almost bought the pistachios…
That’s the only good thing I’ve seen so far.
I got the $4.99 tool set. It was more of a why not type deal.
I wanted that dang Star Wars set, but they only had one
I want a bag of crap (ive never gotten on before ). Anyway, whats great for wootoffs is a program called wootalyzer (www.wootalyzer.com). It tracksthe item currently on and can open the internet window on any item and other stuff like that.
Yet another woot-off today!
Yes, it is indeed a Woot off!
The only thing i’ve seen so far is the silly Dyson vacuum I need a Bag-o-crap!
the 8gig Refurbished nano is going quick for $129
BLAST I MISSED THE BANDOLIER OF CARROTS!
Man, always when I’ve no money. They need to get a better Woot-Off schedule…
Indeed. These Woot-Offs sound like a lot of fun. I really need one of those check cards.
A job would be nice too…
sigh,

OK - I’ll admit to being a woot-noob.
Where the heck do I go to learn what the heck a woot-off is, and to learn how to participate?

A woot-off is a special day on woot.com, which occurs roughly once or twice a month, when they go away from their one-product-a-day system. Instead, products are sold continuously, with a new one showing up a few seconds after the previous item sells out. You can tell when a Woot-off is occuring when there are two yellow flashing lights beneath the product, and a bar showing how many are left.
Woot-offs are usually the only opportunity to purchase the coveted “Bag of Crap,” AKA BOC, Bandoiller of Carrots, Blinged-out Cabbage, etc. These cost a dollar each, and contain random, usually cheap, items, but sometimes contain great deals. These usually create a mad rush to kill off woot’s servers, and are usually sold out within a 30 second period.
Due to the unpredictable pace and direction of Woot-offs, “Pro” wooters often devote entire days to constantly monitering the site.
Woot is a site that offers “One deal one day” normally for technology products. They update once a day, at 12:00 Central time, so those of us on the west coast are often up till 1:00am in hopes of a “Random Crap”, which is often called a BOC or Bag of Crap . (There are other brands of “Woot” wine,shirt, and sellout.) Sometimes they vary from technology products but not that often, it happens during the woot-offs sometimes for some type of nut.
Once in a while, they will create an event called a woot-off, which is where they forget their “One deal one day” slogan and offer a new deal as soon as the previous one sells out. These sales can last anywhere from 12 to 72 hours, often ending in a novelty item.
Sometimes they throw in a “BOC” which is a 1 dollar mystery item, that can range from a plastic drink bottle to very fancy flat screen TVs.
You can find out more on their site, www.woot.com
Another woot off today! Looks like I’ll have something to keep me busy today after all.
Somebody buy those vacuum cleaners so we can move on.
Woot Vacuums, wonder if we could use them for air compressors…
A power cable for $15? Seriously?
