which is why i dont buy it. but then again that makes me wonder. why the hell do i play the lottery sometimes then? same fucking thing really. except this has better odds. for an engineering guy like me youd think id be a little smarter.

It's that time again

Lol, that's a pretty good deal.

How does that site work exactly? You just go and buy them, or is it an auction or something?

Usually its

"I see only one item, do you sell anything else?
No. We sell one item per day until it is sold out or until 11:59pm central time when it is replaced (see next entry for details). However, each item we sell is in stock and typically ships within 2-3 business days."


But during a woot-off...

"I see some orange flashing lights on the main page – what do they mean?
No, you aren't seeing a side effect from your allergy medication. You have found a Woot-Off, a short term frenzied mutation of our product posting procedure. In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally.)"


Oh, and I believe its restricted to american addresses as well.

An item that doesn't sell, like this one, is known as a woot killer.
