i remember when a woot off was an event important enough to alert family and friends, but here lately wootoff's have been terrible just plain terrible. Could Woot be losing its MOJO?

Come on Woot gods, loose the damned lights already, everyone's already got them, all we want are the monkeys.

Please split them up next time!

Actually, there was a Zune, I think

Didn't get anything I was hoping for but did buy bacon salt and a monkey. Just nice to see the ups man once a month..LOL Hopefully the next time they will have the bag o guppy straightened out. Nothing more disappointing to go all the way through, see that you got it and then for it to go away.

Time to unplug my own woot off lights. I only run them during wootoffs (woots off?). Thanks woot for the keyboard and especially for my bandolier of c's

Bummer, dude, they had the Clips over at sellout yesterday! All the colors too!

You sure you wanna admit that?

I've always disagreed with the "worst woot-off ever" posts, but damn. I got 6 new customers to stay up and watch and not one of the normal items showed up I told them about. No RC stuff, no laptops, no marshmallow guns...sheesh. If I had been a wino I woulda been set tho.

Funny thing, all of us will be here participating in the next wootoff too. Ironic? mebee.....

Enjoy your monkies people.

I feel your pain. I felt my own, earlier, just like yours. Pain, that is.

didn't get the box of chorizo, didn't get the magic flashlight - wanted Candi, but didn't see her - sigh.

at least I got a monkey and lights! night, all.

Yup worst woot off ever, though I did get the iphone charger. Crazy $600 coffee machine to guppy projector and one cent guppy. only two flavors of bacon salt when I tried to get it. It's getting badddddd

not even one hard drive

apparently they left the 'million dollar shipping' price from April Fool's Day in the system so if you got through, your order did not process even though you got through the entire process - your card was probably denied

Later folks got through after the problem was corrected

love the lights - hate the monkey.

I wanted a pony!

No pool salinator... sniff, sniff. Still want one....

But I did get an Energy Center Channel Speaker for a steal of a price!

(And Icemat headsets, and a PCTV HD stick, oh and those easy park garage signals....)

This was NOT the worst Wootoff ever. In fact, except for the fact I took lunch 3 minutes before the box of chorizo, not a bad run at all.

It's OVER! WAAAAAA!

It was the woot before the wootoff started.

I really needed a flashlight damn it,

Ahhh, available online......hmmmmmm.....tempting...

in for 3 the lights and monkey are my favorite!.


p.s. wts different capes.

Adieu, w00ters. I'm not usually one to complain, but I've been w00ting since 6/06, and this really was the worst w00toff I can recall. It wasn't, however, the company...it was the "merchandise."

Off to bed, perchance not to sleep...

I got my first screaming monkey.

my lips are sealed... Or should I say locked?

Curses to you woot!! Stealing away my box of chorizo!!

Yeah, they stole my bag too. More bags, better servers, shorter woots.... Night!

I have bought EVERY SINGLE WOOT MONKEY ever offered (even the highly-sought red ones), but I refuse to buy this one because it is paired with the lights.

I won't pay $15 just to get the monkey... did that last time, but not again.

Shame on you woot for pushing the crappy lights to get the monkey. This monkey will NOT be playing along.

Well, didn't get the big orange cornbread (darn my daughter's gymnastics class), but at least I got this consolation prize. The cat will like chasing after the monkey as it flies through the air!

Montana really hates the monkeys and woot lights - they are boycotting big-time

I don't think I will be back next woot-off, it's just getting tedious now.

Well, at least I have the last monkey with whom I can cuddle up with in these turbulent times.

/cracks another brew

Which is quicker using Paypal or a cc ? I was trying to get a baggie, but got delayed because I didn't know the cc security number. Is Paypal quicker ? Do you have to enter account info during the checkout process ?

There were several RC toys, and a USB rocket launcher. Click on "community" and look at the list.

Well, I finally got me a monkey. I picked up a beginner geetar for my fledgling rockstar son, and, for the second woot-off in a row I got to the order page for a Bustin' out chainsaws to watch it spin and spin and then bounce back to the front page. Sigh. What a silly game.
