Sellouts.

Hmm..i suppose it doesn't matter if Amazon owns woot so long as nothing changes ...AT ALL. Also, I predict further competition for crap...

I knew this would happen when the iPad came out. Amazon need a way to dump all those Kindles!!! As soon as that's done they will move you to the mental side of the old hospital on the hill they inhabit.

BTW will I be abe to use my Amazon prime on WOOT? Just sayin' you know.

To whomever writes the Woot! raps,

I think I love you. Please get me pregnant a.s.a.p.

Sincerely,
Nerdtasticalone

truck this. i just lost a lot of respect for woot.

What a deal! My two vendors now joined at the hip to take money from both my pockets at the same time. Congratulations.

My home state, NC, has decided to charge sales tax on any Amazon bought items. Will this affect my woot! buying?

In all my combined woot buys from each site, i have never been lucky enough to get a bagOcrap. If i could never do it before, I am sure the odds are even slimmer now.

So sad.

But... CONGRATS AND WOOHOO to you dear woot!

What kind of muffins are we talking about?

Yes. "Crap" will now be literal.

Best of both worlds! Congratulations and good move!

Congratulations, associates.

Everyone who was employed as of May 30, 2010 (one month ago) is now a millionaire. (A select few are multi-millionaires.)

But I hope you keep coming back to work, because you've done one heckuva job!

Yea for you. Hope you got a boat load of stock, cash, or stuff, or stockcashstuff. But bummer for us.

Don't know if I like this amazon thing. Jungles are large and ungangly.

WOOT IS FINE A IT IS. DON'T MESS WITH PERFECTION. YOU'LL JUST RUIN IT.!!!!!

I hope Amazon knows what they got themselves into. Poor guys. Congrats Woot.

You barely bought anything in three years.

i feel like my mom just picked me up from sleep over camp in time for her wedding to the cool kids dad and feel somehow inadequate

I hope you all get butt-ass rich, someone needs to in this crummy recession.

Congratas!

SHEEP!! You're all a bunch of SHEEP succumbing to the mega-uber corporate giants like sheep being lead to...well a happy little bluebonnet-filled money meadow in Texas. Good job, Woot Titans. Looking forward to seeing what's next...SHEEP!!

If you don't mind...I prefer to think that Woot acquired Amazon.

Congratulations my friends.

I hope this means Amazon will be shipping my Woot. Woot takes 6 weeks to get to my APO address. Amazon takes 6-7 days (even the FREE Super Saver shipping).

Us too! They took issue with that in the first draft of the press release, though.

Why? I can give you 110,000,000 reasons why.

Snapster says that nothing will change. And perhaps nothing will. But, really, Snapster has no say in this anymore.

w00t may become a slick Deal-a-Day website with the occasional good deal, but I don't see this ending well for those of us who have grown to cherish the quirky little website where you could also get a good deal once in a while.

But, at least one person is REALLY happy about being purchased by Amazon.

Well, Woot must have been doing things right. Congratulations and keep on Wooting.

Where is the Woot! kegger to celebrate this deal?
Congrats you guys!

cheers

It's a good point you make...but how about more answering of the last 14 pages of questions... then pour on the witty repartee , hmm?

Will we get free super saver shipping?

You talk about the 2 good acquisitions (zappos and audible), but what about one of their OTHER acquisitions, reflexive.com? Folks over there are a rather unhappy bunch, because after leaving everything alone for a year or so, they changed, well, almost everything.

Congratulations! That's one way to retire early. I would looooooove to read THAT letter of intent from Amazon and see your faces when you received it.

Again, congrats and good luck!

Woot has been good, don't screw it up! stay humble

Woot sellouts.

For those of you living outside of Texas. Enjoy your new Woot sales tax.

"Items sold by Amazon.com LLC, or its subsidiaries, and shipped to destinations in the states of Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota, or Washington are subject to tax."

Are you new here? Ignoring questions and dishing out witty repartee is kind of what we do.

Nice parlay, Snapperhead!

I have a question:

How do pop-tarts work?

Well, unless you've started delivery outside of the continental US, this information is completely useless to me.

And Amazon Prime will ship "Smartpost"!


Congratulations WOOT!!!

Pop-tarts have some strange heating instructions, in my opinion. The microwave instructions say to "Microwave on high setting for 3 seconds." I didn't think a microwave could warm anything up that quickly. I don't heat mine though, so I don't lose to much sleep over it.

This heres a story about billy joe and bobbie sue
Two young lovers with nothin better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose

They headed down to, ooh, old el paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobbie sue took the money and run

Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run!



Great idea....gonna miss you Woot!

Doesn't everybody have the same responsibility to pay sales tax on purchases anyway?

Congratulations WOOT!!!

Good ol' Smartpost. It gets to the west coast via FedEx in a few days. Then 5-6 weeks later, USPS gets around to delivering it to me at my APO address here in Japan. Yay Smartpost.
