For those who know Woot offs, there's currently one in progress. Of course, who knows what kinds of deal they have but they literally change in minutes, so there's tons of good deals to be had by checking the site. Last woot off 2 months ago I got my husband a really cool outdoor cooker for a lot less than it retails for! So I'm on the hunt for other stuff--I think they've had Recaro car seats in the past too. I'm waiting for stuff like that!

Good luck!

Right now there is an iRobot Roomba 415 for $139.99 + $5 shipping. I did a little bit of research, and you can get the same on on ebay in an unopened package for $130 shipped, but it seems like most retailers are selling it for $199.99, so it might be a good deal! I'm not sure whether or not to pull the trigger on this one, anyone have this model?

I'm tempted too--did the other ones come with the self charging Home base and extra pack of 3 filters? If not, add that to the cost too! The one on Woot comes with all of that....

It seems like the filters are not included and many of the models on Ebay are remanufactured... so this may be a good deal! Anyone else have any opinions?

I did it, I got one... the yellow lights were flashing and I didn't want to miss out! I kept reading all of these good reviews on here, so I caved!

Darn. I missed it. Stupid me for asking DH first and waiting to hear back from him. I should have just done it.

I tried to buy the Roomba, but by the time I checked out, it took me to the next deal, so I don't think I got one. Darn! I really wanted that!

I wish they'd move on already! I don't want a guitar. However, DS keeps saying guitar, guitar,...

Love me some Woot!!

They change it when it's sold out--some things sit longer than others, which is why you have to be on all the time...some things literally sell out in seconds! So you might miss things too...depends on their stock and the prices!

Just saw digital photo frame sell out in 10 seconds! Wow this is fun! I may not leave my seat!

I'm kicking myself for not being more decisive on the portable DVD player. I use this woot tracker, which makes a noise when a new item comes up. I just keep it minimized at work. ;)

I have to stay away from this site. Impulse buys + tough times = dangerous mix.

OMG! Why oh why do I check this website so religiously (probably the inner cheapness in me). Now, I have another site that I'm addicted to. Well at leat this woot off thing is "temporary".

I haven't bought anything yet, but I like reading the leads for each item. Very entertaining.

I know, isn't it? I would love to write those....it would be a really fun job, I think!

I haven't bought anything during this woot-off , but I have bought in past woot-offs.

I bought a 'Bag of Crap' - which is anything they feel like throwing in a box. Mine turned out to be a backpack with about 12 sewing kits in it. It was worth the $1 I spent on it :)

The second thing, I actually bought two of. We needed surround sound speakers for our new tv. I bought a set for us and a set for my in-laws.

These Woot offs can go on for days! I think the last one was like 4 days or something--depends when they run out of stuff! I got something the last woot off in December--an outdoor cooker thing for my husband and he loves it!

I'd love a bag of crap! The last BOC I got was awesome. I'm keeping an eye for it this time.

Do they ever offer the same products again during a woot off? I would still love to buy that roomba.

aliciamt7
02-19-2009, 12:08 PM
haha I wanted a bag of crap too...will be on the lookout for one this time! I missed it last time!

I don't think they repeat products in one woot off--they may have similar stuff (maybe a different model or something) but it's a toss up!

those BOC's go soo fast. I am always too slow. Any tips on how to get one?

Aw CRAP! I missed the Bag of Crap!

i am totally convinced after reading the text that the entire company is three stoned guys in a basement of their parents' house somewhere. They are hysterical.

So, anyone pick up the oh so useful ski speedometer?

I have two that I purchased awhile back for the kids from BabyCenter. They are pretty bright.

We love them at our house.

You are right on! This site is hysterical. I am a new fan!

I am loving the Woot lights and screaming monkey that is up right now (not to buy, just to look at).... and I also love how it took 1m 15 sec for someone to buy one.

I NEED to know what is in the BOC. Seriously, someone has to post when they get their shipment.

Boo, Woot off is done! Hope some of you scored some good stuff! Post when you get your bag of crap--I love hearing what people get!!
