Oh totally, if it's not an emergency, may as well wait as long as possible. :)

Woot used to list these large football player action figures, and my nephew loved them. Because you could only order three at a time I would have to wait for them to list them again so I could get more for the set. They were only like $1.99... I remember some of the players were Brett Favre, Jason Taylor, Shaun Alexander, Marvin Harrison... I think the checklist was pretty large...

I'm looking for a good multi-handset cordless phone set.
My batteries are about to poop out on my old ones.

The good news is that until one appears on Woot, I have an excuse when I "accidentally" hang up on the mother in law!

I waited for the enTOURage eDGe to come again after buying one in June. Bought 2 the next time around (September/October). Missed them the last time during the Woot-Off!, but I didn't really need them. They are fun to play around with for custom roms, and family members love'em when I am done.

Same exact story with me for the Dyson! I also passed on the Viewsonic Gtab 2 or 3 times before I finally broke down and bought it.

Oh, yeah. Just recently, the HP 32gb TouchPad.

Every time the Roku box came up, I kept saying I was going to buy one. Then, I finally made the decision (thanks to @jumbowoot coupon) and wanted to buy one. Which, took another month before one came up in a Woot-off I was watching.

I have been waiting for these Razer m100 Pro|Solutions Pro|Tone In-Ear Earphone (black) http://www.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=2399 to come up again. By far the best in-ear earphones I have ever had. Awesome sound and built quality. Come on Woot sell them again.... Please.

I'm doing that right now. My Shark steam mop arrived broken, so woot refunded my money - but I still want one. I'm also waiting for the olive wood pepper mill to come up (I'm expecting March). I'm hoping to use my jumbowoot coupon on one of these things.

Impatient wooter is impatient.

I had the same experience with the Dyson. Wanted one but wasn't sure I was willing to pay for it. Finally decided I was and bought one next Woot off.

There are a few things that I would buy again if/when they come up. Some specific headphones (I'm picky) and Buckyballs (make great repeat presents...everyone always wants more than just one set) specifically.

I've been waiting and trying to get a bag of crap ever since I made my account... 6 years ago.

I did that with Buckyball's a few months back. Was looking for a new desk toy so waited, and luckily had just gotten a Jumbowoot coupon making it that much nicer that I waited for Woot. I have been thinking of picking up a Roku, might have to grab one next time its listed, tho have always been a bit nervous buying refurb which is what seems to always get listed here for Rokus.

I am waiting for a dyson too. Around Christmas they were on a couple of days but of course I didn't grab one then.....

An Art 101 deluxe art set from kids.woot. They've always sold out by the time I find out they're on sale. Finally snagged one last week. Felt like Ahab harpooning the white whale.

Always check Amazon if there was a hot Woot item. If they have a bunch on-hand it probably get transfered over to Woot. Another reason they bought Woot to get rid of old inventory.

I've been waiting months for them to offer the personal rice cooker http://home.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=4735068 . Saw it for sale as I was turning everything off for the night and planed to get one in the morning but they sold out. Missed it again when they offered 3 last wootoff. And apparently it's been in every bag of crap except the ones I get by the looks of the search results.

Those stupid 2 D cell 120 lumen flashlights. Somehow I've ended up ordering 12 total.

I'm currently waiting for the Kindle DX to make an appearance again...

i was waiting for a cuisinart griddler after i dropped my girlfriends in a move. then costco had it on sale, so i pulled the trigger there.

Husband was dying for some buckyballs. Couple of days later, a wootoff started, so I planned on grabbing em, thinking they were practically guaranteed, as I remembered a recent wootoff with practically every other item being buckyballs or cubes.

A couple days and a huge lack of sleep later, no buckyballs, and the end of the wootoff. I'd soured on the idea of buckyballs and we put off ordering for a little bit. Finally decided to order on thinkgeek (where they were buy 2 get 1) with some other gifts. Was ready to place the order, but refreshed woot on a whim, and what was there? The buckyballs I had been just sure that woot were out of, of course, at a slightly better price than thinkgeek's special.
It also awarded me my second QP, because I could explain the pricing difference between the two stores so quickly since I had the figures right in front of me. Hehe.
