Have you ever missed out on a Woot deal you really wanted?

Oct 18, 2012 3:57 AM

So I was really hoping to pick up the Prospera PL009 Electronic Pulse Massager on the Woot! main page and the Prospera PL009-P Pulse Massager Replacement Pads - Pack of 8 on the Moofi page to try and help with neck and shoulder pain that I have been dealing with for the better part of six years now and tried nearly everything else to ease the pain. I managed to get the Pulse Massager but missed out on the replacement pads. Didn't think they would sell so quickly! Hopefully the four that come with the Pulse Massager will last a while. Anyways, has anyone else ever miss out on a Woot! deal they really wanted? If so what was it and why did you want it?

Yes, there have been several off items, especially electronics like laptops, and MP3 players.

Yes. I missed a shirt from the Halloween sale a couple weeks ago. Was limited on funds and when I got paid the sale was over.

Don't worry about missing out on the pads. I didn't up-vote that deal because they were actually kind of expensive. I use a TENS unit and you can get replacement pads all over the internet so the competition is keeping the prices low.

Here's a quick google shopping search so you can see for yourself what others are selling them for:

https://www.google.com/search?q=TENS+pads&oq=TENS+pads&sugexp=chrome,mod=0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=TENS+pads&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=KflUIuxKIW69QSKjoD4Dg&ved=0CNMBELMY&bav=on.2,or.rgc.rpw.rcp.r_qf.&fp=8a55e9f607225fbd&bpcl=35440803&biw=1542&bih=1340

Edit: Okay, well, you might have to copy and paste or do your own search. The link doesn't seem to work probably because it's too long

I assume you mean aside from monkeys and bags of crap. All of the time. I can't even remember all of the things that I either told myself I'd come back for later or that I missed out on because they sold out too fast or that were for sale when I didn't have internet to check on Woot that day.

And I bought a bunch of replacement pads for the TENs on Amazon. I've never had to use them, yet, so I can't speak to their quality but they were very affordable.

There was a power washer that I really wanted. Called my husband to discuss the purchase and by the time I was back at my desk it was sold out. Luckily it went back on sale a few weeks later and I jumped on it then.

I've completely missed out on a few shirts through forgetting about them, but that hasn't happened for a long time.

There were some lock and lock bowls I was talking to @agingdragqueen about and then I got back to my desk and they were sold out.

Fortunately not long after they came around again on Sellout and I was happy. (They are good bowls.)

I missed out on the Dyson Vacuum. That's too bad because I know that will never come back on Woot.

I had 2. First was the "Donut Panic" shirt, regretted not pulling the trigger for about a year or so and finally I got my redemption last year on National Donut Day (last printing on AA Blanks too so thankfully I grabbed it)
Second was the 2 jars of caramel cream with one jar of fudge on wine.woot. came on a few woot offs but was during the day while I was at work, I did my best but never to be seen again.

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.
