"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 grab your wallets and credit card and proceed to mash F5 while everyone buys awesome shit they don't really need!

    Yeah, the next item only goes up once this one is sold out...

    So take one for the team.

    The woot forums are possibly the funniest place on the internet during a woot off. The first time I checked them out half the people were like "I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS OR WHAT IT DOES BUT I JUST BOUGHT THREE!!!!" Then of course the massive disappointment when the next item isn't a bag of crap.

    Well, my question is can you add multiple woots to your cart and still only pay the $5 shipping? If so, I could buy like 5 and give em off as presents for only $20. Old folks like these kinda things.

    -Edit-

    I'm more interested in the Bonzai Sandles Ad. Sounds like a good Val's Day gift. Hrmm...
