this was by far the worst woot off ever..not 1 tv for two whole days.. pathetic.. woot is going downhill fast

Sadnesss....no Bag 'O guppy for me again! @#$%& work!!

Is this a refurb? Will it work with my Mac? WWPVGD? (What Would Pole Vault Girl Do)

<< slowly sweeping the spilled popcorn and candy wrappers from the street as a solitary balloon caught in the tree stretches aloft, trying to break free from the branch that holds it - somewhere in the distance a child laughs >>

Oh, the circus is over for this time around. I can still smell the cotton candy and sawdust blowing from the woot tent as we all walk back to our cars.

About those complaining about no tv and stuff...

It makes good economic sense because with economy as it is nowadays, people is more likely to buy cheaper stuff than expensive stuff like tv or laptops.

It was slightly weak but last one was somewhat worse than this one.

Damnit woot we don't want more of your garbage lights. This is racketeering.

Mine did the same... But when I left for work it was still processing... I checked my account and didn't say I got it. Also didn't get a confirmation email. =/

I've been watching this whole time just so I could finally get a monkey

No regrets

Could use a flashlight though

Best woot off ever. Got a lot of junk, got my first ever box of carp (woot woot!) and another monkey/light set for my collection. AND through the whole thing I got plenty of sleep and had time to paint my room.

Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
What's that in the bread it's gone to my head
Till this morning is this evening life is fine

this woot off sucked big time

So this is how it ends?

Overall not bad. Snagged a gift for my Dad and ordered some good wine...

Even managed to get a Monkey, though it looks like there's plenty of them available this time around.

Still couldn't snag a damn Bustin' out chainsaws though.

Oh well, time to go downstairs and watch something in HD on my Woot-tastic 65" TV...

Yes, but then you won't know just what words I am putting into your mouth in my head. ;)

Ok, that is a really awkward sentence, but it still kinda makes sense, lol

Congrats! What'd you get? It was my first too (B-o-Carp, BBQ and Monkey Lights)

In almost 2 years I have not landed any guppy. My guppy luck is terrible.

Later folks got through after the problem was corrected

Well that's a flaming pile of monkey poo. What a rip off. Sorry but they should have had it fixed before they posted it. I got to the gold button but it didn't go through because of the million dollar guppy.

This really was the worst woot-off ever. I won't be so inclined to keep an eye on everything next time. The Brass Oil Clocks fiasco and the laem merchandise were just depressing.

Seriously, a $600 coffee maker, $200 mandolin slicer, and several other high priced (for the particular item) in a woot-off? Maybe one or two of those but they were all over the place.

OK, I'm done griping I guess. I'm going to eBay to look for a phone.

megabite6d9 wrote:Wait....what? No laptops after all this waiting? No marshmallow guns or RC toys? I only wanted those and they're always around when I don't have $$.

No RC toys? As I recall there were cars, helicopters, boats and even a hovercraft that you could push that I really wanted.

What we should really lament is the lack of Candy the Stripper.

OVER, DID YOU SAY OVER???? NOTHING IS OVER UNTIL WE DECIDE IT IS... WAS IT OVER WHEN THE GERMANS BOMBED PEARL HARBOR??? (germans? pearl harbor?),(nevermind, he's on a roll),HELL NO, WELL IT's NOT OVER NOW, CAUSE WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GET GOING..... NOW WHO'S WITH ME...... AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHRRGGGGGG.

Eh, missed the rest of the woot-off. Oh well.

ROFL, no kidding! Still can't believe someone bought 2 of those!

consider yourself lucky.

Hmmmmm, on second thought...maybe we should strike that and reverse it?

Aw, I didn't buy anything during this woot off, OH WAIT, yes I did... I got a box of chorizo!!! YAY! First time ever!!! WOO HOO!

mjfarris wrote:In almost 2 years I have not landed any guppy. My guppy luck is terrible.

Don't give up! This is my fourth or fifth Woot Off and I developed a system. When the Bandolier of Carrots shows up, I hit the buy button once and only once. In my fever I'd usually keep hitting it, which probably didn't help.

But maybe that's just me.

crazyharry wrote:Eh, missed the rest of the woot-off. Oh well.

You missed nothing. It was time well spent, trust me. I was following it on my phone while out at dinner, hoping for something good before it ended. I was let down.

QUALITY POST!



^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Yow!

It is the End! Now I can fall asleep and dream of monkeys scream their butts off. I missed the Bustin' out chainsaws, I guess when I got into the order screen it crapped out and did not take my purchase. Damn, I always wanted a Bustin' out chainsaws! I got quite a few gizmos, but I missed the little boat. I was going to use it to terrorize my friends pet turtle and stimulate my girlfriend. Oh well maybe next Woot Off. I enjoyed using Wootoolbox, it let me know an approximate time to the next product. For a first timer of watching the entire, minus the high blood sugar nap, I enjoyed it. Yay!!!

strike the head and reverse the mouth? or head the strike and mouth the reverse?

Nope...that didn't work either. I got through the full process 3 times (with correct shippingcosts) and three times was bumped back to the home page while waiting for woot to check inventory. Very frustrating.

You're just becoming desensitized. Turn off your internet connection for a month. That'll fix it. ;)

Yeah, that would be more comfortable...

Totally agree.
Only one item I was interested in, and it was put up at like 4am yesterday.

Been a wooter since 2004, have wooted MANY, MANY times, and it seems to me, that lately the deals on woot just aren't that good anymore.

I left the amount alone and it went through just fine??

They are very good, just few and far between...
