Woot-off in progress

carry on.

[Jstas]

I wooted! (that sounds dirty)

Bought the 2-pack First Alert Wireless smoke detectors. I have to replace the single one I have and that's the lowest, non-sale price I've seen for the set.

Besides, I had a $5 discount code!

[jflail2]

Talk about a limited target audience:

Accessory Kit for Acer Aspire 10.1" & 11.6"


Come on Woot, you can do better than that...

Well, they sold.... Seems like it did alright for them.

[ysss]

Picked up a couple more sets of the smoke detectors. Already bought some of those when they showed up last time.

Re: Acer accessories
I think I've seen the Acer netbooks on woot a few times. So they're selling to their captive audience I guess.

[jflail2]

Interesting. Well I obviously stand corrected.

I'm hoping for a large external HD at a decent price, though I'd probably do just as well looking for a good sale on New Egg...

[ysss]

@jflail2: get an external dock (http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-BlacX-eSATA-Docking-Station/dp/B001A4HAFS) and buy sata drives... or even get docks w/ dual slots.

It's

Intec Wii Wave Remote Controller and Nunchuk Bundle
$19.99

now

Another Woot off today.

[ryanjoachim]

It's a golden tea kettle!

[jmwest1970]

I find it ironic that they had smoke detectors earlier and a grow light now. I think there might be a message there...

[ysss]

I think they conduct woot offs too often now (and they carry more undesirable junks too) ever since Amazon took them over.

[cokewithvanilla]

Screaming Giant Monkey w/Green Cape today... get yours while supplies last

[exalted512]

Picked up a 2 monitor head rest screen thing for the brothers kids. Their 2nd b-day is coming up this month.

Dyson Animal upright vacuum for $299--wow!

It's a refurb, but I bought a Dyson refurb on woot a couple of years ago & it was like new.

[seeclear]

Optoma 1080p projector up now.

[exalted512]

pop corn machine now...perfect for any home theater room!

Dang it I missed this one.

Dang it I missed this one.

Especially since it was a month ago! :)

[exalted512]

Actually, I think was the woot yesterday...lol.
-Cody

[Gadabout]

Another Woot Off started at Midnight.

Didn't check till 12:30a and already missed the Ooma I was going to get. Hopefully there will be some left and I'll be online when they come back up again.

[Jstas]

OMG...after years of staying up way too late on woot-offs, catching flak at work for having woot opened all day on my desktop and punching F5 like a crack addled lab rat lookin' for a pellet or two...it has finally happened...by pure dumb luck, I came back to my desk from the bathroom and hit F5 and there it was...I logged in as fast as I could and started furiously clicking "i want one!" and by the luck of the gods...I GOT A SCREAMING MONKEY!!!!!

WOOHOO!

The woot-off holy grail! More coveted than a bag of crap and I got one! With a tiger cape too!

[bobman1235]

Is that sarcasm? The flying monkey is still there, looks liek there's plenty left. The Bag of Crap is still the holy grail of Wooting :)

[punk-roc]

the screaming monkey is how they end all the woot-offs =P

[exalted512]

x24.

BoC rulz all.

I was able to get one at the last woot off. It came with a bag, fact or crap game, toothbrush sanitizer, woot head and wrist bands...and I want to say something else but I cant remember.
-Cody

[Jstas]

Screaming Monkey is gone and even if they are still up, after 5 minutes, they are usually out of them and the site is updating. The monkeys lasted 11 minutes from the stats I saw.

And the Monkeys are all limited edition. The only cape that has been repeated previously is the green one. No other color/pattern has been repeated. The Bag of Crap is just exactly that, a Bag of Crap. The woot "Screaming Monkeys" are "collectibles".

[Gadabout]

the screaming monkey is how they end all the woot-offs =P

Yes, but it doesn't mean that if you see a screaming monkey the woot-off is ending. They put them up during the middle of the day too. Those usually don't last as long and are a little bit more rare.

That being said, if you see a a screaming monkey pretty close to midnight, then yes it is probably ending.


The BOC I got last time was pretty decent. Some of those indoor glass plant waterer, Stainless travel coffee mug, outdoor solar powered lighted glass globes for the patio and a screaming monkey. So, I wouldn't sat that the BOC is crap, just ya never know what your getting.

I'm not saying that the Bag of Crap is junk. It's just unmemorable stuff thet they couldn't get rid of...typically. There have been times were a Bag of Crap was something like...a new plasma TV. But those are rare and far between. More often than not, the BoC is miscellaneous stuff and I'll bet the average skews towards the "useless" side of the curve more than most think.

But I've seen Screaming Monkeys up at Midnight or shortly thereafter and the woot off is still continuing the next day. That's the main reason I'm usually up between Midnight and 1:30 AM during woot offs. That's most often when the Screaming Monkeys and the Bag of Craps are put up.

Today, I just got lucky. Lucky like finding a prostitute on the street only to discover it's Jennifer Love Hewitt doing total immersion character research for a film she's working on.

[mrbiron]

Well after reading all of this, a bag of ****e came up about 15 minutes ago and i jumped on it. It seems like 5 minutes of fun for 8 dollars. Not bad in my book.

I'll karma whatever is useless to the good people of polk after she arrives. Someone will have a use for the useless....:biggrin:

Now i'm looking for this fabled screaming monkey that Jstas claims as the lost ark. It will be my life's greatest accomplishment if i can score one!!

[exalted512]

youre ****tin me. I missed the BoC?

FML.
-Cody

[mrbiron]

This will be my first Bag 'o' ****e and am quite excited!

Part of me wants it to be actual fecal matter!...it would make for an interesting deathbed story with the future children in the year 2080. "Did i ever tell you about the time i got a box of crap in the mail"...."Dad, what's mail?".....(flatline..................)

It's almost like christmas except i paid for my own mystery gift. I hope its a hot russian mail order bride they had lying around...w00t w00t!!

[Jstas]

AH! Damnit! I was wondering why the browser freaked out when I hit the reload button. Stupid girl came to my desk just to say hi. Made me miss the BoC. What a day that would have been? Screaming Monkey AND a BoC all in the same day? Epic.

[exalted512]

Well, I missed out on the BoC, but I picked up some male enhancement pills!


MEANWHILE, IN A SKYSCRAPER SHAPED LIKE A GIANT 4.

One of the world?s most brilliant minds calls his team for a meeting.

?What?s going on, Reed??

?Yeah, Elasto. Is there some intergalactic threat that needs clobberin???

No, I?m afraid not. I have a confession to make, you guys. About us. About our powers. I?m afraid I?m responsible for-

?It wasn?t your fault, darling. It was the cosmic rays.?

?Yeah, you had no way of knowing.?

Well, that?s actually what I want to talk about. You see, it wasn?t actually cosmic rays. It was my own scientific hubris and a quest to devise the perfect male enhancement pills.

?What are you talking about??

For years I?ve struggled to come to terms with my own feelings of inadequacy?down there. I decided to put my scientific genius to work devising a solution. I came up with three pills. One to make things, y?know, longer. Another to make things?okay, I know this sounds crude, but hard as a rock.

?A big orange rock??

?Shut up, Johnny.?

And a third to make things, well, I didn?t really know what I was going for, but I wanted my life in the bedroom to be hotter.

?What? That?s impossible.?

?Yeah, Reed. You?re not making any sense. I remember going into outer space.?

That?s what you all think. I couldn?t take all three pills myself or I?d never know each pill?s individual effects, so I gave Ben and Johnny one too. When things started getting out of control and I saw the pills were changing us all in fantastic ways I freaked out, and I corked all of you upside your heads with a wrench. When you awoke, I concocted-

?Ha! Concocted!?

Quit being juvenile, Johnny. Anyway, I DEVISED a story about space flight. You were all suffering pretty brutal concussions, so you bought it with minimal resistance. But now I realize the error of my ways. I don?t need to develop magic pills, because I?ve acquired this 30 Day Supply of ExtenZe Male Enhancement, which promises to work wonders even though the FDA won?t evaluate any of those statements and this is the modern day equivalent to eating a rattlesnake penis to gain its power or something. So, I?m sorry.

?This is a lot to take in.?

?That?s what she said.?

?Shut UP!?

?Reed, I don?t understand. How did I gain my incredible powers of invisibility, then??

Oh. Well, to be perfectly honest I hadn?t been with many women before you, Sue, and your?uh, equipment was?well, not BAD but just?different. Than anything I was used to. So I was a little freaked out and intimidated, and I OWN that. That?s my baggage; that?s not anything wrong or bad about you or your body. But I sorta gave you a pill to try and shrink some things down to disappear.

?Hey! That?s my sister you?re talkin? about!?

?Oh man, he showed me a picture one time.?

?Ben!?

?I could?ve sworn it was Johnny.?

?BEN!?

So I?m sorry I gave you all experimental boner pills. But in the end, we all got super powers so that?s kind of awesome, right?

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

Damn, missed out on the male enlargement pills!

[Face]

Those sold surprisingly quick!

[mrbiron]

Screaming Monkey AND a BoC all in the same day? Epic.

I'm going for it!!!....but my head hits the pillow at 10 so i only have 2 hours to pull this one off!!

[Jstas]

I would be really surprised if there was a 2nd BoC offered.

[mrbiron]

Got the bag....goin for the monkey!! :biggrin:
My eyes hurt from wooting too hard...

[Jstas]

I would be surprised if a 2nd monkey was offered.

[mrbiron]

Damnit don't discourage me!!.......is there a woot tri-fecta?
Monkey - Male Growth Hormones - BoC?!

[bobman1235]

The only other signature "woot" thing I can think of that would constitute a trifecta would be, like, a Roomba?

[Face]

You missed the Roomba.

[Gadabout]

Woot off ended without the screaming monkey at the end....

well maybe next time I can get a BOC

[Jstas]

This was the last item: http://www.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=18870

Foot Flush Classic Toilet Flusher

http://sale.images.woot.com/Foot_Flush_Classic_Toilet_Flusher1pcDetail.jpg

Looks like it's right up RuSsMaN's alley!

[mrbiron]

Wow that foot flusher looks like a keeper. I don't know if Russman would buy it. It's not AARP certified.

No monkey......Better luck next time. Now i can only pray a monkey comes in the BoC. A Daewoo would also be cool.

[falconcry72]

[nooshinjohn]

:twisted::cheesygrin::twisted::mrgreen::cool:

[mrbiron]

Your B'o'C arrived on fire?!?!?!
I'd call customer service or make a claim with UPS immediately!

[Face]

For this sale, you're limited to just one. Share the wealth.

Confirmation that it went through.

[Jstas]

Confirmation that it went through.

Yeah, when they limit the BoC to just one, it's usually something cool/valuable and not actually crap.

They gave me an order form, I checked everything, clicked the gold button once like your supposed to. It stared at me for 45 minutes and then, BAM! "This item is sold out. Line items = 0"

Up yours, woot.

[exalted512]

nice.

My last one was headband, wrist bands, fact or crap, toothbrush cleaner, recycled bag...and something else i think...
-Cody

[Jstas]

I had a friend get a BoC that was limited to one per customer a long time ago and it ended up being a 28" HP monitor. It was a refurb but for like $3 + $5 shipping, not bad at all.

[exalted512]

i wouldve shat myself.
-Cody

[Gadabout]

Got to enter the security number for the CC and hit the "This Info Is Correct" button. The buy page would never load. :\
Tried it 3 times and the same thing, no joy.

Hopefully, those who got in will get something good.

[jephdood]

Has anyone bought the bag of crap before? I wonder what kind of crap you get.

[Face]

Mostly crap that doesn't sell.

[Face]

Another BOC.

[seeclear]

Has anyone bought the bag of crap before? I wonder what kind of crap you get.

I have gotten a RoboSapiens, a GPS, couple different backpack/bookbags, a bluetooth phone headset, a broken fan, etc. Some good stuff, some actual crappy stuff. Overall, worth the $8 price.

[gdb]

Happening now.:wink:
