I've slept most of the way through this one. My wife and bank account are much happier that way.

This Woot-Off has been quite a gift for me--I'm getting very little sleep as a result of piles of schoolwork and looming grad school application deadlines, and checking in on the Woot-Off has served as a cheerful distraction.

Plus, as a result of thie Woot-Off, I can now say I've purchased 144 glow sticks. If I ever run into that weird rave kid I had a crush on in high school, WE'LL FINALLY HAVE A TOPIC FOR CONVERSATION.

Well, I didn't use to Woot but then once I started it's been impossible to stop. It hurts so good.

There is no possible way I can disagree with that statement.

Ever since woot! sold out to 'the man' the woot offs have been shallow and pedantic. The recycling of the same stuff each time and the sheer frequency of woot offs make it hard to get excited. And, to top it all off, the last 2 Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia#39;s I have gotten have been exactly that. Before the sell out, the items were often more fun than functional and it was a good time had by all. I used to get up and play the woot off song for my kids and they would dance around singing at the top of their lungs wondering what magic wonders I would be able to purchase this time, but now they just here it and smile wondering how long it will take to be finished.

If the woot off just ended with the whimper it appears to have then I say it sucked.

Yeah it appears to have died with a whimper and I'll agree it sucked. Bring back the old woot-off's, they should have never sold out.

It could be worse... MUCH WORSE... I remember wootoffs where it was nothing but Zune accessories, where battery chargers for iphones were the rage, where they sold just about every imaginable iRobot thing...

At least we haven't had 2-3 sightings of inflatable giant screens or $1000 Shun knife sets. Wait, I just jinxed it, didn't I? Oops, back to the derby!

It hasn't ended yet... but, I would say, as usual "Worst Wootoff ever..."

any woot-off is awesome.

I guess since everything I want hasn't come up for less than half of its normal price, it's been lousy.

I really hope they bring back Zune stuff. My OG Zune's battery is starting to last less and less every week. My first Woot purchase, and one of the best Woots. Zune HD please!

I'd say this is a pretty good review as far as woot off reviews go.

But I chose 1 star because I LIKE TO YELL. AT YOU, WOOT.

I agree, and I got one of the Milano wool blend rugs, so I'm beyond deliriously happy today. Whatever else this Woot does, it gave me the much-longed-for rug for my bedroom, and that makes up for everything.

Its amusing to watch and I am really hoping for a Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia to show up

EDIT:

The Big ol' Cornucopia showed up and the server crashed every time i hit the big gold button to confirm my payment (9 times) so now I am wallowing in self pity and stare blankly out the window.

Given that I've bought nothing so far during this woot off, I'd say its really only been useful as a distraction from boring projects at work. I'd hoped I'd find some useful Christmas gifts, this time around.

Shoot. I was in for the full Monty last time and this time, too. I hadn't thought about it from that perspective. If I'm subjected to a lie detector or to some evil overlord's truth serum, I will have to admit that as old as I am, I bought 144 glowsticks in just a matter of weeks.

As for this WootOff, there seem to be a lot of onesies and twosies, which at least encourages you to pay attention.

It was also sneaky that they posted the survey before the expected violence of Los Ba_gos De Cra_pos.

I thought the Woot-Offs were going downhill for the last 6-8 months. No Vornados (my favorite deal) and the prices on most of the products can be found cheaper elsewhere without beating an alarm.

I'll continue to support community deals and pop-in daily to catch what's shaken but you asked for an opinion.

I miss the giant inflatable screens, and the Leakfrogs

I too miss Leakfrogs, and when magnetic desk toys were spherical, now they are only cubes. Come back old Woot-offs come back...

Also, kids.woot is so mind-numbing, it defies description.

Um, also, the post that it says I made at 9:40pm today when it's only 3:47? Maybe one of your servers is having NTP problems or something, which may be why it's taking so flipping long to get new products up sometimes.

Someone's been getting their vocabulary words from Family Guy again.

awww...just missed the Bundle of Carrots...sad day :[

Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia is POS! Had a WootOff Checker open and got to the checkout page BEFORE Woot even had POS up on their site and I STILL didn't get sh*t. Screw you Woot, you just lost another customer.

You sir, are a festeezio.

On a side note: I enjoyed this woot-off. Gave me something exciting to do while I was distracted from chemistry homework.

Yeah, Baby!
I was deemed worthy to order the Boundless Olympian Cauldron.

This is definitely THE GREATEST ECOMMERCE EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.

I scored a Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia so I'd like to change my vote to THE GREATEST ECOMMERCE EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!!

I want a Big ol' Cornucopia!

i was a mere split second away from getting my first bag-0-crap. please get your servers updated. Feel free to pass on any idea of when the next bag-0-crap will be coming down the pipe.

Tried to buy one thing, clicked on buy as soon as it came up.....sold out. (and it wasnt a Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia. So far I have bought the electric knife that isnt even in the woot off and thats it!

I find this particular poll particularly silly. None of the answers work for me. Not that I really get the whole silly poll thing anyhow, but this one seems less useful (interesting??) than the rest...

Or maybe it is just me. Meh.

Haven't been able to be around much, but from what I see reveiwing the items offered, it is one of the better wootoffs in a long time. More variety, less refurb, decent prices. I give it a B+. I no longer compare the wootoff of today with the 2004/5/6 variety.

I got a Bucket Of Chicken AND 3 Blanket O Cowboys. Today was a good woot-off for me.

Thanks for fixing the servers up a lot. It was very nice to see the BofC here and gone in ~5 minutes instead of kicking around for an hour!

While it was still slow to make the order (about 3 minutes for me) I appreciated not getting any error messages or timing out on the order pages.

I'm bored, Woot-off.

I get double-bored when it takes forever for a sold out item to leave the front page.

Once again work has prevented any participation on my part, as a realist I don't fret "might have been" only what may yet be.

The only thing I really wanted came up while I was at a baking class.

Anyone want to trade an Oomba for some flaky biscuits and butter cookies?
