Has this been the best woot-off! in over a year?

Dec 29, 2012 4:03 AM

While I was busy working and now traveling, I did not have a chance to particpate in this woot-off!

But, I have to say, after looking at the items that have been offered, this is how woot-offs! should be.
A whole mix of everything, not just days of sectional items, but 1 woot category offering as much as they can, with a mixture of many different items.

I say, well done woot!

It's a throwback to the old days, and I like it!

I think I have missed almost every minute of this woot off. The only thing I'm curious about is woot calendars did I miss them?

@gideonfrost: Have not seen any W00T! calendars.

I was going to go to sleep. Now I'll have to stay up another 55 minutes thanks to you.

Damn you!

And yes, a good W00T!-OFF. I picked up a few things I didn't need.

It's definitely one of the best in quite awhile. I didn't buy anything, but there has been a nice combination of items, including some great cheapo (less than $5) deals.

No difference here. I usually miss all the others too.

I bought a few things for the first time in a long time. Definitely one of the better Woot-offs.

@propaneman: Not there. It has been absent at every woot event recently.

It was a pretty decent Woot Off. I picked up a handheld scanner, a collapsible tunnel for my kittah to frolic in. I really, really wanted another shot at the Boogie Boards but, alas, they were not offered. I love the one I picked up that I never knew I needed.

The beauty of Woot: Buying random crap and falling in love with it.

@gideonfrost: Asked about the calendars on FB, was told they didn't have time to make them this year, so there will not be one. Shame, because this is what I use at my desk at work, and I got a lot of people into woot because they noticed that and my monkeys.

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.
