Does anyone else get irritated at W00T?

[gwilks98]

I'm never up late enough to get in on the Random Crap for $1 deals. By the time I look at W00T in the morning, all the good stuff is sold out.

I'm so fed up with it, I think I'm going to stop going there.

Well... that's one way to solve the problem. :D

[MrGreg]

The only times I've been unable to buy something I wanted was when it was a woot-off or a bag-of-crap.

[MikeD]

It is annoying. I think of all those people sitting there at 12:59A EST hitting their F9 keys. I've got better things to do with my time. :shifty:

Some good deals can be had. BOC's will never happen for me, but I've still snagged some other cool stuff. It's a good site...

I'm a big fan of w00t, but it's annoying that the BOC's go so dang fast. :hmm:

I was in like Flynn, yet, the pages wouldn't load fast enough for me to get in on the deal. :angry:

Recently I got my son a set of wireless PS2 controllers, two wrist walkie talkies, and ummm... something else. I'm holding on to these to use as Christmas gifts. :)

Once again, I was really tired and didn't stay up until midnight to check on the woot-of-the-day. Missed out on another BOC. Wow - that one sold out in about 2 minutes.

It is funny that bags of crap just fly off the shelves there. I guess one way to stop that non-sense is to really have crap in those bags. Big bags of flaming crap! :thumbup:

Well, a remember a few BOCs ago when someone got a Fleet Enema as one of their "craps". :heh:

OMG. That is brilliant.

Has anyone here ever gotten in on a BOC? I've not...not yet anyway. If so, what have you gotten?

[MrGreg]

Didn't :passwird: get a good BOC once?

[InfiniteNothing]

I believe he got a pretty cool home theater system. I like woot alot but I'm definitely not there for the BOC. My time is worth more than that. Last night was my closest though. Missed it by about 7 minutes.

[ooBaKeep]

:pissed: I get irritated that at 9:59 p.m. each night my boyfriend :smash: makes his way to the pc to see what WOOT :deal: is selling. Talk about an addiction. :stupid:

Have fun with your bag of :censored: !!! :cheers:

Yea, I got a HT system that one time, but haven't been able to get in on a BOC since. Class ran late last night and I didn't get home until 10:05pm. Life's a bitch sometimes. :)

Love Woot, especially the wootcasts!

Interesting stats from today's BOC:


First sucker: latebuy
Speed to first woot: 0m 5.380s

Wooter to blame for sellout: bahamutz77
Sellout time: 12:01:55 AM Central Time

Order pace: 0m 0.026s
Woot wage: $139,956.80

Item quantity: 4500

Quantity Breakdown:
Percentage of purchasers who bought each quantity.
9% bought 1 1% bought 2 90% bought 3
How lame are the 10% that bought 1 or 2? Woot couldn't be clearer about ordering THREE.

Two random BOC's so far. Been Wooting since '04 but both BOC's were recent:

why press F9?

[Nija]

I work nights, and now I have one of my co-worker's reminding me to check at 10 pst.

[Maarchk]

I was amused by the Iriver today. It looks like a nice product, and the conversation they have on the page is pretty true with how it would go when you showed your player to most people.
I'm tempted on this one cause my current player requires freezing for it to work well all day.

[cadetevon]

This time I was way "late" on the BOC... like 2 minutes late. :( But I've been there on time before and clicked the I Want One button only to be put in que hell. Ugh, I got the processing page for over 5 minutes last time and of course didn't get my three BOCs.

I imagine there should be a way that if the button is there and you click on it, an item is automatically saved as yours, you just need to finish the process. Pshhhh... but what do I know.
