[Keylime]

Someone buy this fucking monstrosity of a device so we can move on!

 

[VAIL]

Was gonna grab the mouse they had earlier, spaced on it and I missed it.

 

[Keylime]

Seriously...someone buy that god damned thing :lol

 

[-NeoTB1-]

Let's see how angry I can make my wife today...

 

[Runus]

The item before this was a 200 dollar meat slicer. Not going well so far, lol.

 

[-NeoTB1-]

I have my woot-off lights spinning on the top of my monitor here at work.

Oh man...Every time I buy something at random I've thought the same thing about my fiance :lol

Tell your co-workers about this kick ass iPod dock that's on sale right now.

Yeah, I can already see how well that would fly. I work with a bunch of tech geeks. They'd take one look at it and laugh.

Ah...but do they know that it has built-in bluetooth? No cable connecting to your computer at home!

For 90 bucks I can't imagine a better deal.

Hey! I am not a tech geek! Well....maybe. But I am still not buying that POS.

I should start putting something in the first post, but I am to lazy, lol. Basically woot usually sells one item a day until it sells out or until the day is over. During Woot offs they sell tons of items that switch after the previous item sells out. They also tend to do a random bag of crap during woot offs which is like stated generally crap. However sometimes you get awesome stuff in it for 8 bucks. Last time I got a digital photo frame that was easily worth 40 bucks. It sells out in seconds, but it's a lot of fun trying to get it. That's about it in a nutshell.

Damn you OP! I just bought the Philips Micro Hi-Fi System with Bluetooth, CD, SD, USB & iPod Dock. I hope it truly fits the iPhone like it shows.. (cool, looks like the info at the bottom confirms it does).

Do I have to buy some bluetooth adapter to plug into my computer to make this thing work? Never really understood that.

Not to mention that the prices are usually very good.

Thanks man... i appreciate the info..

 

[Keylime]

Come on...

COME ON!!!

YESSS!!!!

 

[ShallNoiseUpon]

Damn. Forgot my woot-off lights at home today.

 

[-NeoTB1-]

Jesus, someone at woot really loves Philips.

 

[Runus]

At least it should sell out faster than the ipod speaker thing.

 

[Meier]

Damn. Forgot my woot-off lights at home today.

:lol :lol I can't believe two people have these.

 

[ShallNoiseUpon]

:lol :lol I can't believe two people have these.

They're awesome.

Spoiler

I lied, they were an added bonus. I really just wanted the monkey:lol

 

[-NeoTB1-]

:lol :lol I can't believe two people have these.

I'm a pimp with these lights. All the guys with pocket-protectors wink at me as they pass.

 

[ShallNoiseUpon]

Wow. There were only 4 of that DVD recorder.

 

[Keylime]

Cordless phone...

Get with the times damnit, everyone's on a cell phone now.

 

[-NeoTB1-]

Looks kinda cool, but yeah, I don't have or want a home phone.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Aww the woot off just happens to come the day I'll be working for 10 hours straight. Hopefully this is an extended one that goes until tomorrow, even if it just lets me get a shot at that BOC

 

[ShallNoiseUpon]

Who thought to combine a photo frame and a wireless phone? :lol

 

[Malleymal]

that device that could transmit tv to PC was pretty damn cool.. then it was gone... damn

 

[-NeoTB1-]

Someone who unfortunately gets paid more than myself.

WootOffs kind of force you to make snap decisions.

If you already know you want the device than it's an easy decision, but if it's some brand/product you've never seen, you're much less likely to quickly buy, and in turn much less likely to get the item at all.

Tread lightly and don't make any irrational purchases!

 

[tenritsu]

Tread lightly and don't make any irrational purchases!

Pfft easy for you to say

 

[Runus]

:lol :lol I can't believe two people have these.

Three.....I bought them when you had a 1 in 10 chance at a bag of crap or woot off lights. :lol

Edit: Actually four! My dad bought some too. lmao

 

[-NeoTB1-]

I was curious what the first thing was I ever bought in a woot-off. Boy does this bring back some memories.

:lol

 

[Meier]

Gonna take a long time to sell out it even at $28.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

My woot-off lights came broken. Luckily woot said they mailed me a new set within 5 minutes of me firing off the email. If they have a 32 inch tv up, someone send me a pm.

 

[Keylime]

Random advice:
Make sure you're already logged in, and even better, make sure that Woot already has your CC information on hand.

If something great shows up and you need to sign-in/enter your CC info, there is about a 0% chance of you getting the item you want.

 

[Downhome]

Yeah really, and already have your security number on the back of your card in mind also as well. Gots to be prepared! :lol

 

[Runus]

If you do paypal you don't have to enter anything like a CC security number. Can save you vital seconds, lol.

 

[Costanza]

How quickly can I pay if they have my Paypal info stored?

 

[CrankyJay]

They must make a boatload of money off of their ads with people spamming refresh on the index page.

 

[Keylime]

And the next item up for bid is...?!

Edit: Uh...they better only having fucking one of these or this is never going to sell...

 

[Costanza]

$429 FOR A 5 PIECE KNIFE SET?! WTF

 

[The_Reckoning]

this should be a slow mover. Smoke break, grab a soda/snack. Stretch...
