Woot Off!!!!! - DPChallenge Forums

Check it out - if you arent familiar with the site: www.woot.com

They post one product a day, usually at a price that is substantially lower then anywhere else. Once thats product is done, you have to wait until 1:05am(est) to see a new product. Well today is a Woot Off.

During a Woot Off, as soon as a product sells out, they post a new one immediately, so instead of one product a day, you get a bunch.

WOOOOOT OFF!

Definitely worth checking out throughout the day, they usually have a photo printer or two, plus some point and shoot cameras up.

The dreaded ROOMBA!!!!

We have 2 of these at my house, and they are actually pretty awesome. The Wifi Detector and the Nav System flew out of there quick.

Hopefully this will go quick, I don't need a roomba haha.

They never do. Roomba will stay up there for at least an hour.

Crap, that means that I should probably do some work then.

They strategically throw the Roomba in so America's workforce can accomplish some sort of productivity during a wootoff. Its science.

That could be true. But my thinking is that as soon as I start doing work and not paying attention to the wootoff, the Roomba will sell out in 30 seconds and a nice new 30D will come up for $100. However unlikely that is...

1-2 days. I dont know if they will have a BoC this time, since they just had one a few days ago for Woots 3rd bday. Its really borderline impossible to get it, you have to be doing nothing else but watching woot and hitting f5 all day to get it.

Bag Of Crap. Sometimes you end up getting some cool stuff. I've never been able to get one cause they sell out in minutes but people have gotten Nintendo Wii's and all kinds of cool stuff. But most people really get what the name implies. Will somebody please buy the rest of these Roombas?

07/19/2007 11:10:49 AM · #17

Ive never heard of Wiis being in there, that would blow my mind up.

In the Bag of Crap you get whatever they have laying around the warehouse.
Its kind of wild, and its super cheap (like $5) so you 99.99999% of the time get your moneys worth if not a lot more.

Lame! Hopefully this one goes faster than the Roomba.

Edit: Maybe something of interest: Linky.

Thats some neat stuff. I saw one called wootalyzer.com

Which will actually AUTOBUY things you tell it - specifically screaming monkey, bag of crap, anything under $10. I was gonna run it here, but my work firewall blocks it.

07/19/2007 12:24:27 PM · #24

It works great caues it autoupdates. You can leave it running on your taskbar and just watch the number drop to zero (or very low) and then refresh your woot page. Who is buying this stupid thing anyway?
