Are you disappointed with the woot! off already?

Aug 21, 2012 1:11 PM

I just looked at all the stuff that was posted from 1am, lots of electronics, again.....

they are calling this a 2 day woot! off, no added suspense.....

Is it possible there will be no BOC.because there were so many on every social network last week?

In my opinion, woot-offs have been overall disappointing for the past couple of years. They are essentially selling the same items at the same price they were selling them a couple weeks ago. Woot-offs back in the day used to have at least a decent mark down from the original woot price. I did purchase the Klipsch 5 speaker set for my dad but I'm not sure how much more I will be purchasing. If I didn't purchase the item on the first go around, its highly unlikely that I'll go ahead and purchase them now.

As for the BOC, being as "random" as they are, it wouldn't surprise me either way if they sold them again or not. My only BOC experience was simply put, terrible. (only got 2 items, emailed service..got a replacement. Got the same two items again...gave up) So I'm not at all going out of my way to try and score one.

My two cents.

@lichme: Well, I know I've already got a post-woot-off game in mind if that helps? :)

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.
