So is Woot going to start selling shirts on Amazon now?

Apr 10, 2012 10:54 AM

Like everyday I took a look at what Woot was selling at Amazon. Today I noticed they were selling a shirt (http://www.amazon.com/Shirt-Woot-1971-Floppy-Diskette-T-shirt-Large/dp/B007Q4KSEQ/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&m=A1KWJVS57NX03I&s=generic&qid=1334055128&sr=1-6).

Has anyone seen this before? This is not intended to be a deal, but instead is being asked as a question.

What do you think?

Interesting find. I thought maybe it was a marketplace item, but it looks like it's on a regular amazon page. with the price inreases and quality issues, this may be another big change to the woot world

Good find!

It does indeed look like a normal Amazon page, but this doesn't even have "fulfillment by Amazon" nor a Prime option.

It looks like a "marketplace" item. It says "ships and sold by woot" and then links to their Amazon store (which leaves a lot to be desired). http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&isAmazonFulfilled=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&isCBA=&asin=&seller=A1KWJVS57NX03I

Very interesting find. Maybe this is just some new "overstock" store they're experimenting with. If this is the case, so long woot-off!

This could be a sneaky way for woot to sell derby winning shirts without paying the commission to the people who designed the shirt.

Let's keep our eyes open and complain if any derby shirts appear for sale anywhere other than on shirt.woot.

Since Amazon acquired Woot a couple of years ago... It was bound to happen

Next thing you know we'll have to order three shirts on the first night just to qualify for free super saver shipping. Yikes!

Wow...that is a good find. This was/is a test of the process for putting shirts on Amazon. No final decision yet if we'll pursue, but to alleviate any concern: we will continue to pay artists for any shirts sold regardless of on the Shirt.Woot site on in the Amazon marketplace.

@gojomoso: And if you have an Amazon Rewards credit card, you can potentially get something for free* using the points.

@joelterrific - If the shirt gets reckoned on shirt.woot, will the Amazon page for the shirt still remain available? Or will the Amazon product page disappear?

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.
