Figured we could have a thread that could alert people when there is a Wootoff, just revive it every month or so.

BTW:

THERE IS A WOOTOFF

I HOPE THEY HAVE A 720P-1080P MONITOR. DADDY NEEDS AN EYE OF JUDGEMENT SETUP.

Ok, I'll bite - what the fuck is a wootoff?

Woot.com is a website that sells high tech shit cheap. It's normally surplus shit or stuff that needs more press in the geek/early adopter community. But sometimes they launch BRAND NEW items. Razer has done some launches there.

They sell one item a day normally, at 10PM PST. During a Wootoff, it's one item after a number.

All items are always limited.

Wootoffs are how geeks SHOULD shop. Thank god most don't.

bulk (dare i say closeout) items had cheaply.

http://www.woot.com/ (http://www.woot.com/)

not quite sure what is worth posting about, maybe there is some additional unknown content available if you actually sign up for the service.  

Are you kidding? Woot is full of great shit.

I have yet to see this, it would nice to know what item to get excited about as opposed to warbling wootoff!!! and driving people to the site to see a radar detector, or maybe it's the craptastic upscaling dvd recorder?  either way I am underwhelmed a bit.

the prices are good but unfortunately the items usually aren't all that desirable, but who knows maybe we will see some vastly discounted UO game cards there today!

It's the internet equivalent of the infomercial channel.

more like the internet equivalent of QVC or Home Shopping Network.

I've gotten all kinds of weird crap from them. Half-price Razer mice, a vesa mount for my lcd, Razer Barracuda headphones, an 84" 16x9 projection screen (I don't have to show 16mm films on the wall anymore), lots of things.

It's not a store so much as someplace to check occasionally to buy things you didn't know you needed, or cheap.

I got a portable DVD player (no region coding and skips ad shit), a Nokia N700, and 2 for 1 pcmcia wifi cards from them. All dirt cheap. I missed out on the 2 for 1 USB gamepads for $14 :(

Damn, I missed the mice? I really need a new mouse. mine's freaking out in TF2 now when I try and turn fast. I've still got a plain old optical mouse. I hope the laser ones have more updates per second because I think that is what's freaking the game out.

A friend of mine got the dyson vacuum cleaner a few weeks ago.. that was a pretty sweet one.

I think this fucking boombox is a good time for lunch break.

Fuckers don't ship to Canada.  :heartbreak:

So does this only happen every now and then?

I dont get the announcing the wootoff part.

Hah, I went and got starbucks.

Well then what the fuck are you guys telling me about this shit for then! What if I wanted that Zoomba? It would have driven my cat insane.

http://www.myus.com/ (http://www.myus.com/)

lrn2bendtherules

The roomba makes living with a cat much more tolerable.  I just turn the thing on a couple of times a week before I head out and come back to a clean(er) house.

My cat ignores the roomba, until it thwacks his bed. He just sits up, stretches and moseys on over to another spot out of the way of the robot.

Do you guys use the internet?  This is like not knowing digg nowadays.

Fuck I still dont understand digg/rss feeds stuff.  I just sort of ignore it and assume its some sort of stupid way for bloggers to circle jerk ecah other or somthing...

Me neither. I just have a list of bookmarks I go down.

Also, w00t is awesome. I got a cheapass 20gb mp3 player there. Sure, it's about twice as thick as an iPod, nto sexy at all...but i was about $65, and it gets the job done.

You are wiser than your avatar makes you appear, Hoax-kun.

I thought that this was a WOOTOFF:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZyQAFroumM

Just an FYI to whoever might be interested but hasn't noticed yet, at Woot wine they've got a wheel of blue cheese for sale since the week's wine sold out. 

Oh shit.  I don't know if that's going to piss me off more or schild.

(http://s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/wootsaleimages/The_Cake_Is_A_Liar8feStandard.jpg)

Yea, I bought one of those.

Edit: Also, the block of cheese is about to sell out.

Just get a job as a beverage buyer. I get free wine all the time, no woot.com needed.

We're mad about the cheese block. Not the wine.

You guys would seriously eat that much cheese? Or would it just be some kind of nerd symbol?

Dunno about them, but if that was Cheddar, that'd set me up for a week :)

Razer Pro|Type keyboard.

The white looks better than the black. It's not a great keyboard for people with big hands, but Agnarth has the black one and loves it.

I think it looks sexy.  Too bad white keyboards become slightly brown keyboards.

My desk tray already has a wrist rest on it, so that bottom part of the KB would shift the actual keys way too far back for me. =/

That part comes unattached. TOO LATE THOUGH.

Ding, grats, new wootoff.

Picked up one of those MY-IPTV thingies.  We'll see how it goes.

This is one of the crappiest wootoffs ever.

If not the crappiest.

Will this thing let me burn a dvd on my computer from an old camcorder video?  If so, I'd buy. 

I think that's what it is, but I can never be sure with gadgets that don't clearly state their purpose.

It is, it's basically capturing software and a hardware analog usb capture device.  It's actually not that bad.

Thank you for the help.   

Edit: Damn... sold out as I went to grab one. 

Who the fuck would buy a white keyboard?

Someone who eventually wants a light brown keyboard.  I'd think about getting it.. but I have a pull-out keyboard drawer, so the i-pod thingamabob would be pointless.  My wife doesn't understand the point of a gaming keyboard; I'm not quite sure I do either.

But, but, Rasix, the Logitech G Series is really nice, and surprisingly useful if you play MMOs at all.

You could show her that it lights up a neat blue color too!  :awesome_for_real:

lol, looks like someone got pissed off at this wootoff and killed the server.

Gaming keyboards are fun.  I like my G15 because it lets me check the clock while still having a fullscreen game up.

I want them to sell a Model M, NOS, on Woot. I'd buy 3. Maybe 6.

AT&T earbud set? blech :uhrr:

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN.

ENJOY THAT LOST SLEEP.

WOOTOFF.

RAZER SALAMANDER UP NOW, 19.99.

Razer Headphones.

Saitek Wireless Bluetooth system.

sweet, thanks for the heads up; better than staring at the PotBS patcher.

Fuck, I missed the headphones, I knew I should've stayed up!

Fuck, I wanted some of those.

Amazon.com Gold Box Deal for today (Sat 12/15) has both seasons of Rome for $60.

WOOTOFF, YO.

So tired...

Still wootoff. I thought it was only a 1 day thing.

If it starts on a Friday it will  generally run all weekend.

I GOT THE BAG OF CRAP.

Congrats. Good B-day present for yourself.

That's what I said! I'm pretty stoked!

OOKII GOT THE BAG OF CRAP TOO!

MY BIRTHDAY IS FUCKING MAGIC!

I got spoiled as I got BOCs the first two times I tried nearly a year ago and haven't gotten one since.  :x

I take a look and it's a bird flu kit.

Sigh.

Bump.

Another wootoff. Kill me now.

I had been thinking of upgrading my ancient system.  Thankfully I don't think I could live with myself enough to get a Gateway, even if it's tons cheaper than anything comparable I could build.

Man, that's tempting.  My frankenstein is a Dell, so it's not like I can claim any moral high ground turning my nose up at a Gateway.  Damn!

It's really quite a good price. All things considered. Just need to upgrade that graphics card.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

790i and new Quadcores available on newegg! New Computer Get!

Ya, I'm still debating this gateway for a home pc replacement since mine is all wacky these days.

God I hate Gateways.  I wouldn't buy one for my own mother, I don't know why I'm even considering it.

Because the price is damn hard to beat. :cry:

Let's all say it together and maybe it will help:  It's a Gateway.

I don't much care what I have as long as it runs whatever games I want to play.  Stupid things aren't good for anything else, anyway!

Which is the exact reason to not buy a refurbished Gateway.  They ran out while I was in a meeting, so dodged that bullet!

Refurbished?  Yuck.  I don't buy anything refurbished.  I don't know who's touched it.

3 X One For All Kameleon 8-in-1 Universal Remote Control and we will charge your credit card $5.99.

ANOTHER WOOTOFF TONIGHT.

SERIOUSLY.

EVERY ITEM HAS BEEN THE SAME THING.

oooooooooooh

IT'S APRIL FUCKING FOOLS DAY

The day the internet becomes even more shit.

April Fool's Day is the cancer killing /b/.

This really is the funniest one all day.  Bet people keep F5'ing to see if something new comes up.

And a Bag of Crap did!

Jokes on you!  It's actually a bag of crap this time.

.

Ah I forgot about this, Schild saw it last night but his nigga jew ass didn't post in here.

I got the email but I never post anything relevant.

They're selling punctuation?

Don't know if this is a bug and they'll catch on and there will be a fraud off, but it's 37 bucks, you know?  Buy yourself something nice for 38 bucks.

No, it's actually a deal between woot and overstock.  It doesn't seem to work on media items, though.  600+ TC sheets FTW!

I wish there was something I wanted on that site.

I know, overstock.com sort of sucks.  I've bought sheets from there, some nice ones, too.  This time I bought a steam cleaner and some cooker top covers.  But, still, it's $37 off on something.  Buy a game or a neon light palm tree or sommat.

No shipping outside the homeland. 

 :awesome_for_real:

All those 37 bucks off orders will be canceled.

Why?  I checked on woot.com and it seemed legitimate but then so do time shares unless you've read the contract.  They sent me this:

Your order was successful!

Yes it is a bug. It was supposed to be 37 dollars off the nightstand that was linked, not 37 dollars off whatever you wanted. There is a 40 page thread on it over at slickdeals.net. 

Aha!  Oh well.  Someone was saying they thought it might be a bug.  I did go over and read some of the end of that thread.  I hadn't bothered because it was something like 37 pages long and I'm not getting any younger.  They didn't have the colour I wanted anyway so I settled. 

Wootoff.

Wootoff just started.

Sonofa.

And now it's bacon salt. 

Heh. Last 3 items of the wootoff:

Condoms
Vibrator
Bacon Salt

the schild dream date package?

<runs>

Shit. I needed more bacon salt.

Stop eating so much bacon stuff!  As a Jew, you are a lousy one!

How do you know kosher jews aren't the lousy ones? Hell, they're probably the minority at this point.

Dammit!  Why didn't anyone say anything?

:drillf:

What you need a spare?

They don't want us to know because they are jealous that we have lovely soft pussies and they have great ugly dangly bits.   

That's for the 'great'.

Wootoff now.

Just got an "internal" memo from Woot saying there is a Woot-Off starting tonight, I wonder if the Bandolier of Carrots is coming early.

I got one, too.  It's at midnight.  Too scary for me!

Not a woot off, but woot has a pair of icemat inner ear headphones + mics for like 20 bucks today.

Wootoff.

Not a wootoff.

But amazon gold box today I think is xbox 360 games.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=cs_top_nav_gb27

Currently Force Unleashed for 30 bucks.

Wootoff just started.

Yep, they said there was going to be one this week in a pretty humorous newsletter. At least, they mentioned it would be a good one - we'll see though, that Mp3 player is balls.

Do the Peter Griffin Bump.

I didn't expect to see Pink Floyd there.

Another Wootoff today.

Some decent things in there, but nothing I couldn't live without.

Many GPS and digital photo frames (shocking).


Edit: Is it just me or has this one been going on for a really long time? I guess there hasn't been one in a while, though.

I figure the people that actually care already know, but there's another Wootoff going on today.

SCHILD THERE IS BACON SALT ON RIGHT NOW

you buy naow!

Heh, I was going to point out the bacon salt currently up. According to Wootalyzer you have 25 minutes left on it so they must have a metric ton of it (except they are out of hickory flavor)

Of course you could always go to the source:

http://store.baconsalt.com/

Where you can also get bacon lip balm and .... baconnaise!

Baconnaise was revolting. The lip balm was worth it for the lols.

Baconnaise?  :ye_gods:

I've heard of chocolate covered bacon, but so long as the bacon is extra thin streaky bacon cooked super-crisp I reckon that'd be a winner, see chocolate covered pretzels.

Woot makes me very glad I don't have a large expendable income and easy access to net-buying.

I thought bacon chocolate would be good, but I've tried a few kinds and each one wasn't good.  What it reminds me of is sea salt chocolate, which is much better on the palate. 

http://woot.com/

is this worth it

tell me fast

nevermind turns out it's an old piece of shit

Here is my bag of crap:

- One opened and possibly returned Soyo FreeStyler 600 bluetooth headset
- 6 wired earphone/mic combos like you have for cellphones, only for your computer
- 1 Oddly shaped bag
- Mini HDMI - HDMI cable, about 3 feet long.

The spread:

Bought some earphones from woot.com and they came yesterday... Right channel died about 5 hours after I got them. :(

Email woot. They're pretty good about stuff like that. Actually, they're really good about stuff like that.

I read in the faq that it is usually better to email the manufacturer first, so that is what I did (after posting in the item discussion). If Maximo gives me the run around, I'll email woot.

Wootoff.

I think the item up now may be one of the dumbest things they've ever had.

(for those who tune in late, it was a football shaped remote control)

Another Wootoff.

I missed the Lachesis for $30.

Today's woot is a good deal on 3 box sets of MST3K (the latest ones by Shout Factory).

Bah, gone already.

Gah, noooooooo.

Sony Blu-Ray 5.1 Home Theater System w/ Wireless Surround
$499.99

Wootoff. On #10 or 11.

I have an irrational urge to buy these knives.

What knives?

The knives that were replaced by a sold out tv!

before that they were replaced by the vibrating football game.

9 piece Shun Ken Onion series set for 500 bucks.  Quite a steal.

Fixed that for you.

Yes, let's boil everything down to its category.  They're knives so they shouldn't be that expensive, a BMW M3 is stupid because it costs more than a Geo Metro. They're both cars right?

I appreciate when you enlighten us with your discerning and insightful opinion. Unless, of course, you actually think it should be spelled steel.

Er, not because I wanna white knight the guy, but wasn't that just an attempt at humor?

Edit: spelling are hard.

Ookii doesn't know how to post on forums.

(http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r307/freecommenttags/import//graphics/funny_pictures/fgsfds2.jpg)

Ooki may have a mild case of neck-beard poisoning.

Errr, yep. Tough crowd I guess tonight.
Or more of people's feelings leaking out of the un-named forum.  :why_so_serious:

What, it was Broughden so I assumed it was trolling. What did I do?

I'm also clean shaven so that probably is the reason.  I'm missing my neckbeard already.

GAH! I missed both mice again, by a single item. I fail at this.

Just picked up a Sidewinder X8 at Fry's for $49.99 AT THE REGISTER. So, yea, you could just do that. Better deal then you're gonna get on anything on Woot.

Also got the Tritton USB high end 5.1 headset for $69.99.

Winner today? Schild.

Ooh, does that work on the PS3?

This pair does not. The ones that do are like twice as much and have a breakout box for optical. Well, more like 3 times as much, same headphones though.

It's on again.

It is, but uhhr

BBQ Fish Basket
$1.99
 * + $5 shipping

Product:
    1 803-F BBQ Fish Basket w/Detachable Handle

Razr Lachesis mouse is up now. IIRC, there were a few people looking for them before.

Edit: And gone.

Pistachios now.   :oh_i_see:

Some Razor headphones up right now.  30 bucks.  I needed a new pair.  Sweet.

Razer Salmosa is $13 on Woot right now. Best price for a spare (and good) mouse I've ever seen.

(Really, it's 13.37, but leet jokes aren't funny.)

Just started up another wootoff if anyone cares.

Thanks, Ab!  They actually had something I needed (PS3 guitar controller).   :drill:

I just saw a G9 going for $35 at LogicBuy (http://www.logicbuy.com/deals/Logitech-G9-Laser-Gaming-Mouse/3132.aspx) from lifehacker. I've never heard of logicbuy before though.

Its from HPs site actually, just bought it. $43 shipped (tax in TX)

Up again, same price.  It's tempting, but I want to replace my ye olde DiamondBack with something like the DeathAdder because I :heart: side buttons.

Latest bag of crap:

5 copies of a Pirates of the Caribbean CD designed to work with some Disney Camera
1 USB powered red and blue rotating light
1 digital camera bag
1 XM express carrying case
1 Flimsy wine carrying case

I hate you, I've caught the bags of crap spamming f5 after an item sells out and STILL haven't been able to get one.

Wootalyzer is your friend!

Now's your chance! Maybe! Fuck if I know!

http://sellout.woot.com/Default.aspx

El Wootoff currently in progress.

Figure this is a good place to post this. Deals.woot.com (http://deals.woot.com/) has a 3pack of 6ft HDMI cables for $9.09 after shipping with coupon code WOOTHW30 that is used at www.eforcity.com (http://www.eforcity.com/woot.html?efaffwoottxt091210=woot%20WOOTHW30) has a 3pack of 6ft HDMI cables for $9.09 after shipping with coupon code WOOTHW30 that is used at www.eforcity.com (http://www.eforcity.com/woot.html?efaffwoottxt091210=woot%20WOOTHW30). With a lot of people buying toys this month, figure it wouldn't be a bad thing for those not picky about HDMI cables.

There are other things like wall mounts as well in that sale. It's basically a 30% off and free shipping coupon, but hell for $9 I'll take 3 6ft cables.


Edit: fixing my retardation. Sorry about that

bbcode fail.

My ZyXEL powerline network developed glitches recently.  Lucky me, there is a Linksys powerline kit on woot.com today.  I already nabbed mine, so you guys are free to buy now.

Restaurant.com has $25 gift certificates for $2 or $3 with the coupon code 'Santa' today.  I just picked up almost $600 of certs for $45. Woot.

18% gratuity added to pre-discounted check.

That sucks, if it also weren't dinner only I'd totally try one out at least. A 100 dollar gift certificate for 8 bucks ain't bad sir.

It doesn't seem like the gratuity is for all restaurants, just the ones I'd actually try in my area.

All the good ones in austin are sold out.

Be a smidge wary here.

Consumerist (http://consumerist.com/2009/01/buy-a-gift-certificate-from-restaurantcom-sign-up-for-a-recurring-1495-monthly-service.html#comments-content)

Nice thanks. $400 to a steak house and $400 to a nice sea food place for $64 dollars....love that.


That complaint just screamed PEBCAC. Even reading through the responses, the general consensus is that it was a user error who is trying to blame someone else. Really, it is just like buying anything else on the internet: read every little detail before agreeing to anything.

That's why I said be wary, not don't do it.

I actually returned the ones I bought earlier - for just the two of us it's not really an epic deal, you can only redeem one certificate at a time, so our plan stacking 2 $25 certs and eating for a good tip got shot down.  As we're actually trying to reduce expenses by eating out less, this would just motivate us to eat out even more.  Great deal if you're going to eat out anyways tho - a $35 bill would wind up being $16 after tip, and the coupon only cost you $3.

You sound like the most fun person ever.

:why_so_serious:

It's a wootoff, again.

Bump.

For posterity:
Condition: Watching You Self-flagellate

Heh. I was going to post that over here.

Here's the thing:

Heather Gray is the comic fucking sans of fucking shirt colors.

Fuck Heather Gray.

What does that make white and black?

This is about ugliness, not popularity.

There are uglier fonts than Comic Sans.  Comic Sans is mostly famous for being ugly AND popular.

I'm going to say white is Times New Roman.

I love heather gray.  The shirt color, not the actress.  I don't know her well enough to have an opinion there.

I like Heather Gray, too.  The colour, that is.  That pic of the actress is just scary looking.  I can't stop looking at her nipples.  One of them seems rather higher than the other, too.  I bet they're rosy, too.  That would be a good stripper name.  Rosie Nipple.

Heather Graham is her name. Crazy psycho eyes (and more) is her game.

I think I know here well enough.

Damn you all for introducing me to this site.

By the way.. another wootoff in progress.

It's on again.

Do the Peter Griffin Bump.

2 in one day?

NVM, I was confused, but I do have a nice new camera.

Wootoff!

Also, shirt.woot is pure win.

No Wootoff in progress, but Amazon bought Woot (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/amazon-buys-woot-for-undisclosed-sum-2010-06-30?reflink=MW_news_stmp), apparently.

Woot is also one of the deals of the day at deals.woot.com  :why_so_serious:

And their first woot out of the gate is a Kindle (new, not refurb) for 35 bucks less than Amazon.

"The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon"

:oh_i_see:

http://www.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=13390 blog post about the acquisition (amusing)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnCHCcveteA  "We Got Acquired by Amazon!"

Good deal on the latest 3 MST3K box sets going on today. About 1/3 off what amazon charges.

Newsletter I just got implies a Wootoff tomorrow. We'll see in a few hours I suppose, but heads up just in case.

Goddamnit... they're always the week after I pay bills and the week before the month's disposable income check.  Then again, it's during the work week so I can't see the site anyway. Damn you AT&T web security.  /pointlessbitching

Wootoff!!

What time is it?

Wootoff time.

And it's on again.
