Do you Woot?

Any other "Wooters" on here watching the woot-off today over at www.woot.com?

Between hitting F5 for that, and F5 watching this site, I'm not getting anything done today!

My woot usage has been trailing off. I've gotten 4 or so BoC and they have been steadily declining in terms of quality.

Only ever got one BoC, and the one good thing in it (a high-end headset) I ended up flipping on eBay for a profit. I don't have the patience (or apparently the bandwidth) to capture a BoC on a regular basis.

I've bought a lot of stuff from them over the years (I joined in 2005 and am 7 away from my "black box") but its definitely trailed off lately. I bought more stuff when they sold more tech gear and <$50 items.

I liked the site better before Amazon bought them out.

They have a great T contest every week. There's a theme, then the top three are sold on F/S/Sn. They continue to sell as long as they stay in the top 20, with some getting the ax each week as the sales decline. Anyone can submit so if your an artist its a good way to get your work seen.

I definitely bought more "stuff" back when it was more tech/geek content than it is now. I still check every day though, just in case.

Half of my TShirts are from woot. I have bought lots of items off of the site. For larger items you cant beat the flat rate $5 shipping.

A good percentage of my 3 sons T wardrobe came from there as well. If its video game, zombie or ninja related they have it.

I personally own a couple but don't wear t-shirts much.

My personal favorite (worn when working out of course) is:

Yep, there are some artists making what has to be a nice side living off of the site. They pay you a fixed fee for day one, then a per unit sold afterwards. Detail are on the site.
