I'm new myself, but it looks like once a month? I've only seen two myself, though, so I could be wrong.

Until your bank account is empty, or our credit card maxed-out, or both.

Or your house is full of stuff you don't need and monkeys.

But what if you use Chrome or Safari or Opera?

I suppose the server has exploded and killed all the Woot IT staff. There's been a Sold Out flying monkey up for 2 1/2 hours...

Taking off my post...proving how sellout you are woot. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on you woot. Amazon has made woot L-A-M-E!


[ MOD: SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on you for using profanity. Besides, it was a useless post. ]

ESC does not stop animated GIFs from playing lol

re-re

I'm not sure that Amazon knows how to run Woot...In all my years of purchasing during WootOffs...I have never seen the system stuck on SPOOKTACULAR! like this...The end of a good thing is near!!

hiddenmanna wrote:Still new in the ways of woot, but how often do they do wootoffs?

Typically monthly, they have missed a month occasionally (but might put in a special event in that month instead: if I recall correctly, the woot-off did not occur in the month they had the stock-market promotion, where you ordered a woot-off light. The order # last digit had to match something with a stock market index last digit to get a treasured Bag.)

AND THAT'S THE TRUTH!!!

Just got home from a "new bar opening 'pre show'" and saw the monkey sell out. Is this woot off done?

All I know is I ordered my first monkey, and it has an American flag. Very patriotic.

America!

so i missed another woot-off... oh well maybe there is such a thing as TOO many screaming monkeys...

I know they send e-mails when they start (or maybe about to start) but could you please flash the lights in my home?? ROFL

Well....I might as well soak my wrists in ice water and look for a stray razor, since I not only missed this Patriotic Monkey but the Bucket of Candy as well.

that, my friend, is the question of the last 2 hours. They have kept the damn spinning lights on, taunting us poor, desperate to fork over cash, wooters. Check any of the last 250 comments or so...pissed off wooters screaming to hit the lights.

And so it ends.

You missed that great deal on razors too?

From the words of Willie Nelson......Turn out the lights, the party's over.

Finally! Couldn't have done it two hours ago? ghoulish!

Seriously?! Wow. That was a waste of my life.

Light's off

They aren't running it. We are messing up just fine on our own, thank you.

Where's this messing up you speak of? People are whining, servers are crashing during the big event, and the product descriptions are full of typos.

Sounds Wootastic to me.

To be honest, I did see the last posts but thought if I sounded like I was new to the situation that maybe they would end the missery.....AND THEY DID

Love ya Woot , but the repeat left-over monkeys showing up 2 hours early was a bit ghoulish..

Wow, yeah you are. Servers have been fairly wacko. Keeping the lights on and shutting them off NOW just feels like Woot has truly gone to the evil side. Good thing I bought a lot the past few days, I may just give up next woot off. for REAL.

That was the worst woot off Ive ever had the pleasure of partaking in

Whoa... I'm seeing flashing Woot! lights wherever I look now. Kind of like when you stare at a lamp or the sun for 2 hours or so...then you still see it everywhere...

My wife is wondering why I'm staring at her so intently now. They're...flashing!

Curious my dear Wootson... Wine Woot/Off ended and the Lights went out on the Monkey.... Something linked here maybe???

mrktshop wrote:To be honest, I did see the last posts but thought if I sounded like I was new to the situation that maybe they would end the missery.....AND THEY DID

Honesty IS the best policy! and, seeing your woot stats, I already figured you had. wow, you must have some serious clout to have FINALLY convinced them to get those lights off. We ALL thank you, mrktshop!!!!

And, really, I got my monkey, so I'm not really too too upset. Just don't like feeling like Im being Frankensteined with. As whomever said way back when, guess we wooters are a bit bipolar. Bipolar lab rats. yup. and this one will likely be back for more.

But, seriously, a glow in the dark monkey and/or zombie monkey would make it allll worthwhile.

Who Else is very upset with woot.com.

Taken for a ride? Howso? You got the items you bought at a good price, and presumably they're things you wanted. That's the purpose of a wootoff- for them to clear out inventory. And no, they don't get revenue for ad refreshes.

What exactly is so disappointing about this woot off if you managed to find $600 worth of items you wanted?

It's just a code, not a law. Basic flag ettiquite and is totally ignored except by the military and government (one and the same).

On the bright side, my toothbrush will be the cleanest in town! Thanks Woot!

I hope they sell a "Dummy's Guide to Reading Comprehension Book" at Midnight for you.

I'm disappointed because most of us sat here for 1 and a half hours pressing refresh because the lights were still on.

Many of us were expecting an additional item.
