Can I give a big thank you to the staff at Woot!?

Jun 28, 2012 5:07 AM

Even though there were a ton of glitches, I got to say, I bought more stuff in this woot-off than I have ever purchased. Between the $5 all you can ship deal to seeing the percentage of product left under the yellow bar, I really enjoyed myself. I saved myself $20 because of the shipping deal.

So, thank you for some fun products and thank you @jumbowoot for the $5 coupon that paid for my all day shipping.

I too bought more this woot-off than ever before, and I agree that it had to do with the all day shipping. So I don't know whether to say thanks for encouraging me to buy more or say darn you for encouraging me to buy more!! :)

Seriously though, thanks for saving me the cost of shipping on the additional items I purchased!

Shouldn't they be thanking people for buying things?

I went nuts too! While I was a little disappointed that I (still) haven't gotten a chance at the BOC, there were some AWESOME deals. I usually only make one or two purchases during a woot off, on things that I really want or need, but this time I made 7 purchases :) Thanks woot!

I didn't buy anything this time around, but not for lack of trying. I just kept missing my chance.

Fortunately, the coupon will keep through October. I'm sure I can find something by then.

I admit, I had lost faith in woot earlier this year. Woot-offs were crappy, most things were being sold at the same price during regular woots, and then as soon as this new Amazon spam-feel redesign happened I had just about given up. But yesterday's woot-off I actually watched more closely, was pretty happy with most of the deals, and even bought two things! So it looks like I'll be staying around for a bit longer, thanks!

Glad (at least some of you) had fun. That makes me happy to hear and we'll be sure to pass this on. :)

Thanks for enticing me to save my coupons for another day.

Well you could thank them, but I think they'd love you more if you sent them donuts, tacos, and cammo netting.

Thanks a lot for flat rate shipping. I can't check now but I want to say I saved 100 dollars because of it

+1 for the UHF-referential name.

The way you all say thanks leave the developers and operations guys a little sore, but everyone appreciates it nonetheless.

@riknik: The librarian side of me tries to always be kind and very quiet. The Barbarian side of me, well....

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
