Woot...

[wvjules]

I don't understand.

Yesterday every 15-20 mintues an item sold out and then a new one was put up. Today it has been the same LCD TV ALL DAY! It has been sold out for about an hour now and it is still there. When do they change things?

for the past two days there was a "w00t-off" going on. Today it is back to the normal deal a day site that it normally is. Key is the flashing lights that you saw yesterday. Flashing lights means w00t off, no lights=no w00t off. It's still a great site. Two for Tuesdays are great also.

ETA: w00t off is where they put an item up until it sells out and then replaces with a new item until it is sold out. This can last a few hours or a few days. Normal w00t operating is to change the item once a day at like midnight PST.

Yesterday they were having a "woot-off", where they replace the item with another one as soon as it is sold. This happens infrequently, randomly, and lasts 24-72 hours, depending on what they feel like doing. What you see today is the way Woot works the rest of the time. One item per day. When it's sold out, they don't replace it until tomorrow.

Sorry, just saw that the pp told you while I was posting!

Yesterday you experienced a "Woot Off"...it was posted here on the boards...That's when they change the items often...as they sell out. As a rule, Woot is just ONE sale item a day...changes every 24 HOURS...whether sold out or not. I am fairly new to Woot myself, but in my experience there are "Woot Offs" maybe 2 or 3 times a year.....I know someone more experienced will be along soon to give more information....

Thanks all.

I kept checking/refreshing the page today to see a new item and got nada! Now I know why.
