Well at least I got my first monkey (yeah I just got one, what am I going to do with 3 I live in a small place!)

Gifts! I was just saying yesterday I wished I had more "spares". I'm about to ship two off to kids (ages 5 and 7). Their parents will love me!

Got my first Bunnies Ogling Carrots on this woot off. My favorite yet!

what a waste of money and time. This will be the end of the woot off.

and if it isn't, it should be.

But.... it's a Woot Monkey. Don't you see?!? Not a waste of money...it's a Woot MONKEY! There -- now that I've explained it, don't you feel better?

You're welcome!

has there ever been a woot-off more than 3 days? Are we all hanging out here because thats possible? After 3 days of this I am now falling asleep on my keyboard.

I just asked the boyfriend "Why did you buy only 3 monkeys?" His response? "That's all they let me buy at a time."
We need 4 for a proper monkey-flinging war!!! *shakes angry fist, then buys more monkeys*

Welcome. Feel free to look around, pull up a stool, and talk to some old timers.

Oh, and...why wouldn't anyone buy this?

Better: 3 for $11. Buying just one is a waste.

Visit the Community Woots page and scroll down; I think it doesn't show up in the blog except for the first time it comes up (so April 24th).

That would be the most amazing thing ever, but no I think we are just all hanging out here cause we don't know what else to do with ourselves anymore.

Well I'm waiting to see what goes up at midnight and if I want to buy it, cause nothing pisses me off more than when I go to bed earlier and something I want is put up and it sells out before I wake up in the morning.

I have to let you in on a secret that'll double as a woot protip. I actually just ordered six. I have a backup account for just such emergencies.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate it when the monkey comes up, I love to stay up all day and all night checking everything out and then thinking "I should have bought that"

Oh well, time to get on with my life.

Ya Ive been hanging around to see just that. Ive seen it keep going after monkeys before, but it hadn't hit 3 days. Thank god for netflix and the repetitive 80's movies it brings. Classic 80's film:

1. face close up

2. explosion

3. montage

4. face close up

5. end

With a monkey this close to midnight (in Woot's time zone) chances are that it's over... but even so there'd still be Friday's item coming up in 15 minutes.

Do they have 50,000 monkeys or something? Why isn't this sold out yet?

woot monkeys sit at the right hand of the Bunnies Ogling Carrots

it only sells out when everyone buys three, but if only one person gets less than three, well let's say he's not loved...

Life? what is this "life" of which you speak ? ? ? ?

First woot-off, Christmas is now 75% done. And Mothers' Day. And a birthday.

Got my monkey. Got no bag, but with my Vizio Tablet bought a few weeks back plus some WiFi, I have as much Batman/Oral/Catwoman as anyone could want. Thanks woot!

Woot, what was I thinking? I didn't realize just how much we bonded during this woot off. I will NEVER leave you again.

Bravo, woot! This was a woot-off very well done. The new scaffolding format really makes for a better experience overall.

Last woot-off's monkeys were crap. Between me and the boyfriend, bought 3. One had a hand fall off, one has a hand falling off, both of those go off when you fling them instead of when they hit a wall. The third remains untouched as a gift to my younger brother, so we shall see if it is the same caliber of crap. Yet I still want this monkey.

No wonder I didnt see it. Missed this one by DAYS! Thanks for the info.

Oh My Fruitful Garden, maybe Woot! is running a monkey mill!

Say it ain't so, TT!

For a recent "Wizard of Oz" parody, a collection of Woot! monkeys, large and small, made a surprise (and noisy) appearance flying in all directions and screaming up a storm. It was much fun.

No, they spread the Brags of Cap through all 3 days, a couple times a day, but they consolidated all the comments on one thread.

Really excellent way to do the Bags, much fairer, and keeps the excitement up, knowing that the next item just might be a Bag.

Oh, and yes, I did get one, for the first time.

ooo thanks!

These are a lower quality of monkey than what they use to sell. I've bought these from another site and my dog had it destroyed in a matter of minutes, while the other ones held up for weeks.

This was my 100th woot purchase, enabling me to join the black square/black triangle club. WOOT!

I just realized the Barrel of Crops might come in before mothers day.

Sweet! Hopefully there's something awesome to give to my mom! :]

Just in time - we were down to our last screaming monkey and in dire need of reinforcements. It's the only toy our dog enjoys chasing!
