Woot-OffSaw this on Dealnews.com...

Woot.com takes $5 off orders with no minimum required via coupon code "SERENDIPITY". It's the only such dollar-off coupon we've seen from Woot.com.

Good deal?

Decent computer for a college kid?
Anyone?
That links to a couple of model cars. What kind of college is this kid going to?
The deal changes daily so a link that pointed to something back on 8/1 could now point to something completely different on 8/18. Moreover, when a woot off is going on the page will display something new as soon as the previous item sells out during the same day.

Confirmed that the coupon code works - I just used it. Thanks Kirby.
Yup, got an email from Woot yesterday about this. Although it is probably a one-time deal per username, it looks like its valid until 9/30.

O RLY?
 
Trying for my second bag o' random crap right now, but their server isn't responding very well.

Ah, sold out. :lmao:

I ordered it the second it came on. But the order page took a long time to load, and then after I hit the order button it took a long time to send.

:lmao:This is your punishment for trying for your own bag o' crap instead of rushing over here to let us all know that bags o' crap were available.
 
Got myself 3 back slings for $14: http://www.petshop.goolian.com/index.php?c...=12&pid=414

If they wear out, I'll need the replacements. If they're great I can use them as gifts. If they don't work...well, how the heck can something like this not work? It's not rocket surgery, after all.

So far this woot off has been a hit with me. Used the coupon to get a T-Shirt for my boy (the knock knock one), got some stuff for Christmas otherwise:

3 decent binoculars for $30

A crappy HD camcorder for < $50

A "defuse the bomb" pipe fitter type game for $5

Woot!

:lmao:

Keep us posted.
Same thing happened today. As soon as the bag o' crap was offered, the woot servers slowed to a crawl. By the the page loaded and I placed my order, I got an error. (Something about a code being invalid, but I wasn't using a code.)
 
This wootoff was kind of lame, actually. I bought an Energizer battery pack for $10 (5 for the unit, 5 for shipping) but otherwise there was nothing good that I needed.

 
Woot pretty much jumped the shark a couple of years ago. Every single woot off now is a constant rotation of roombas, a refurb computer, some crappy MP3 player and a bottle of wine. They stopped even offering cool stuff on woot forever ago.

Sour grapes?

Nah, just saying they don't offer cool stuff anymore. Seems to be a constant rotation of the same crap. I remember several years ago they offered a video card that was released the same day for an amazing price. That was cool to see. Roomba Elite Pro 10,000? Not so much.

I disagree. I bought a Roku XR two weeks ago for $60. I never would have considered something like that on my own, but the price and explanation on Woot had me saying, "Well, Apple TV is going to cost more and its not even out yet....I'll give this a try." I LOVE the thing.

I do think the good deals are a bit rarer now
 
Weeee! Just got my first Bag o' Random Crap.
contents?
By "got" I meant ordered. I haven't received it yet.
I just received it but haven't opened it yet. I'm going to open it right now.<pause>

:lmao:

1. A Western Digital hard drive (IDE). It doesn't have any packaging -- it's not even wrapped in cellophane or anything. It was just in the box, naked. It also doesn't come with any cables to hook up to the power source. It's 120 GB, and has a "29 Aug 2003" stamped on it along with a smiley face. I think this is it. This by itself surpasses all my expectations.
Update. I finally got around to trying to use this. It's actually a SATA drive, which is cool. But I can't get my current computer to recognize it. I've got an enclosure that allows me to use an internal hard drive as if it were an external drive, and the enclosure works with two of the other hard drives I've tried it with (one PATA, one SATA). But with this one, when I connect the enclosure/drive to the USB port, my current computer doesn't know that it's there. It shouldn't be an issue with drivers. I think the hard drive just may be no good. (Not too surprising the way it was packaged for shipping, I guess.)

3. Two jars of Todd's Bayou Dirt Creole Seasoning and Spicy Rub. I considered purchasing these when they were wooted, but I passed. I'm happy to have them in my random bag, though.
On the other hand, this stuff is really good. From the random bag, this is the only thing I'm getting any use out of; but it's well worth it.
 
Haven't bought anything from Woot in a while and I got a packege from them today. When I opened it up it was a Valentine letter from Woot (including a gift This Mini Monkey) plus a few Valentine cards.

The letter was funny.

Dear You,

We were walking through the warehouse and we ran across the very first item you ever bought from Woot. Such wonderful memories. The way you used to giggle at our writeups. That gasp of anticipation when the sale changed at midnight. The way your cursor felt against our bouncing button of instant gratification as you dared yourself to purchase something you really didn't need.

What happened to us? You left so suddenly we never even got a chance to say goodbye! Just give us another chance. We can make you happy again, we swear. We know we can be the Deal-A-Day site you want us to be, as long as you don't expect us to change or grow in any real emotional way.

<Then the gave me a "special" valentine just for me - coupon code for $5. Then ended with this:>

Please, baby. Don't let it end this way. If you think our servers are strained, think of the strain you're putting on our hearts.

Dreaming... waiting... hoping...,

Woot

Woot, I like the cut of their jib. I'll probably go buy something just because of this. Their marketing is great.
