i enjoyed it when Target had WD ext. 1tb for $60

Wow, that explains why Woot's color scheme is green. It's a salad bar. There's some deep metaphorical stuff going on here!

Uh, read the description BEFORE you buy next time.

Woot isn't at fault, here, they clearly stated it is refurbished. You went ahead and bought it anyway. We have no pity for you. Enjoy your new hard drive.

Ok, whose dumbass idea was it to have the Boggy Old Creature so early???huh -stupid woot!

-and no, I still will not buy your overpriced pos hard drive. I hope it stays up forever, I am through. The only people who get through any ways are the assclowns using scripts.

There should at least be a way to cancel the order until near the end of the sale on that item.

Someone call the whaaambulance.

These drives originally had a firmware (revisions SD15, SD16, SD17, SD18 for this drive) bug that can randomly brick it at boot (we're talking 30-40% of all units). Being "Factory recertified" I wonder if that bug was fixed. It's too bad the firmware revision isn't listed. Woot?

So...it's Woot's fault that you didn't read what you were buying?

No we run Boggy Old Creature on a Vic-20.

I really love how the harddrive posts are all about the Boggy Old Creature and the few people who mention the harddrive don't really say too much about it. As for everyone saying it's cheaper elsewhere, links would be nice otherwise your post kinda isn't worth a whole lot to the community.

that's a good price for this item...

Yeah, things are slow to leave Southaven. It's like a blackhole.

jblood wrote:So you are saying that they should spend all that extra money to handle what is effectively a DDOS that happens only once in a blue moon? When they don't even really lose out, because they sold them all anyway, and were back up soon after to offer the next item?

Seems like a bad idea to me...

i am saying they could invest a little money in keeping their base customers happy as we have supported them for years.

sunnybun1 wrote:Really! What's with all the newbies getting these when there are people who've been around since 2005 and haven't gotten one? Shouldn't they like, grandfather people in for one after a while?

I agree! Just because I live in a real city who have more than 5 people on the internet and not in the boonies of the northwest doesn't mean I should get screwed on the Boggy Old Creature!

I is sad.

The Boggy Old Creature strikes me as Woot's version of a crane machine. Everyone thinks they're going to get the big score, but most will come up empty, and the ones who do win probably would have saved more time and money just buying what they wanted from a store.

If only they were 'new'. Conditioning to act fast, followed by no means to cancel 30 seconds later is something...

totally not true - I got a sling box knock-off last time e-bayed it for $200...plus about 4 other items including a mp3 player i gifted away - it was great really....

Hate to see these lock up a Woot Off but the two I previosly bought recertified crashed and had to be replaced TWICE by Seagate. Great service, but better back up and back up often!

cool...always wondered how close my competition for Boggy Old Creature's were.

Does Woot! sell Cancer sticks?

Now that the Boggy Old Creature is gone, everyone has left and POCs like this one remain forever

I bought one of these drives from Woot (same drive, 500gb barracuda, sata 32mb 7200rpm refurbished) and I've used it in my primary desktop for the past 8-12 months with no problems whatsoever. Seagate is a GREAT brand with awesome customer support. When a different Seagate drive of mine died, they replaced it with a bigger drive.

You really need to shun the little white box posters... in fact, woot should have an option to turn them off...
