How many Whiskey Stones will Woot sell this time?

Mar 15, 2012 4:34 AM

Thanks to woot.clue we all know whisky stones will be sold in about a half hour.
In November they managed to sell nearly 50,000

I thought it would be fun to have a little guessing game and see who gets the closest without going over (price is right style)

I don't have a prize for the winner...maybe a nice greeting card from me to you... Or maybe @jumbowoot could be really cool and sponsor this game with a free shipping coupon.
(That's just pie in the sky dreaming on my end of course.)

EDIT: No you're not dreaming. See the note from @jumbowoot here...

Like I said, I just thought this could be a little fun for all of us to guess. Especially since they sold so much last year.

What's your guess?

Thanks for playing everyone. I couldn't believe the turnout.

Thanks again @jumbowoot and @wootfast for helping out with prizes and announcing winners. I didn't expect this much of a response and it was very humbling. Thanks again.

@cowboydann: I got a beautifully (typed) letter from jumbowoot, hand signed (priceless)! Nice paper too.
1 set of the Whiskey stones (go figure). :D
1 Puss in boots shirt.
1 flying monkey! The special one that after some search was only given away at the woot CES 2012 stand.

Very grateful. Very fun. And thank you cowboydann for having this guessing game.

From @olleewood:

What did the other Whiskey Stone Winners get?

Because this chick here just got a ton of stuff! I didn't realize I had won first place and was freaking out over the boxes that showed up on my door. One was an HP Pavillion laptop and I made quick calls to make sure there weren't any big purchases, nope! Saw they were from woot and opened them.

The laptop was actually a Whiskey Stone grill slab(heavy!!)
A Whiskey Stone round pizza slab (also heavy!!)
1 box of Whiskey Stones
1 Flying Woot Monkey (which my son has claimed as his)
1 Random Woot Shirt

And a lovely signed letter from @jumbowoot. Thanks so much jumbowoot and woot! You guys are awesome! I was having a pretty lame day, but this made me squeal like a little girl. I never win anything! :D

What did all the other winners get?

Thanks for the awesome contest & prize!

I didn't realize I had won & my bf was questioning me about what I bought... I've become addicted to Woot lol

I was sent a set of whiskey stones (now I have 4 sets!)
A Woot flying monkey
A random Woot shirt (family breakfast, ironically the one my bf wants)
And of course a lovely letter!

Thanks 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.
