I'll probably turn a profit on my Santa's Sack, as I don't need a projection screen, but that's not the norm. I'm either buying for myself or for a gift.

I woot to woot. For the price and the entertainment value (and of course the item). BOC items that I don't use = gifts to people that will use 'em.

I woot to woot, usually for myself, but if a woot is cheap enough I'll buy three and give two away.

Always woot to woot since you never know when you might not make the sale you thought. Nothing sucks worse then ending up with product and having to take a loss.

@wisenekt: That does suck. I buy 60% of my woots for me or gifts, Always buy 3 to make it cheapest. Sometimes I sell stuff to co-workers but I will sell my other 2 straight fast if the profit margin is unreal. I did buy 24 snuggies Kids+Adult over 2 sales to sell 19 of them though... that's probably my worst offense.

Always Woot to Woot. Pure entertainment nothing else.

For myself or as gifts, though I have sold a few items (usually because someone says, "Hey, that's cool! Where can I get one?" for an item that I'm not especially attached to).

I've never made any money selling stuff.

Not sure I could make enough from resale for it to be worthwhile. I do have a regular job and a family - not that much extra time!

I mostly woot to woot, but I have bought some items and sold them on ebay or amazon. Made a little money re-selling some Lego's from woot. (lego prices can get a little crazy during the holidays) Lost a little money on some knives I bought and tried to re-sell.

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.
