It's that time again. Woot-off

It's that time again, folks. Hasn't been very long since the last one, but so it goes.
What is Woot and who's behind it?
Woot.com is an online store and community that focuses on selling cool stuff cheap. It started as an employee-store slash market-testing type of place for an electronics distributor, but it's taken on a life of its own. We anticipate profitability by 2043 – by then we should be retired; someone smarter might take over and jack up the prices. Until then, we're still the lovable scamps we've always been. But don't take our word for it: see what the online community has to say at this Wikipedia article.
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.)
So what do you do?
Well, you could watch the front page, found at http://www.woot.com/, or you could use one of many Woot-off checkers to try to keep the main site moving at a sane pace when you find something you actually want.

Aside from that, go nuts and look for some Blinged out Cabbage.

Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
Come-on Bag of Crap!
-edit-
Or a monkey.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
Fuck! I would have bought one... They sell normally for like $70.
Dammit.
I've always been curious, what have people gotten out of the bag of crap? What is generally the expectation?
Roomba of some sort, usually.
I have never even gotten one. The site grinds to a halt and they are gone before I can get one.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
I got a thermos bar drink cooler, a camcorder case, a few keychains, two CD players with FM radio and remotes, and a red lacy thong that I gave to a friend of mine (it was the wootoff right before Valentine's Day :P)
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.

Damn grill/iriver/wifi sensor thing all in a row.
That'd be nice. I just got a new cell phone this weekend and it's the first I've ever had that uses microsd cards.
Edit: A watch. With a UV...thingy. Well that...that's great.

If they put up "Used Hypodermic Needle" I would read the description before determining I don't need it.

But it's only ten dollars. At that price you _need_ one.

So that's why they need the watch! To make sure they don't accidentally get some sun.

missed out on the projecter
somebody shoot me in the faces
for the most part its substantially better than my current rig.
And I did manage to get a BoC once, but let's say it wasn't just a clever name.
i'm sick of my AMD XP 2700+
It's better than my circa 2004 Dell lappy in every way.
besides being compaq. Pretty sure I swore up and down i'd never get another one again after the family one.
I'd buy it for that alone, if I lived in the U.S. The price seems like obscenely good value for what you're getting.
and it has PCI-e so thats a plus.
for shits and giggles, whats a DX10 card cost?
What did you get?
I've never bought anything from a woot off, but I did buy some cordless phones on a regular woot day once.
I got a sweet Roboraptor for my Secret Santa from a Woot-off last year, and I got one of those USB dongles that lets you attach game consoles to your PC, although mine doesn't work (I blame the PC). Just a few weeks ago my friend bought an off-brand GPS setup from Woot for about $140 that he said is great.
