This DVD player is nice and all, but I've decided to stop buying things that don't fit my life, no matter how cheap and tempting they are. I mean, who records DVDs with a set top box? And you know what else is a great upscaling DVD and DivX player? My laptop. I can even bring the laptop into my bed.

Hmm, it sold out a lot faster than I thought it would.
Anyway, I wonder how many people buy things on Woot purely to make it move to the next item faster? I know lots of Woot-ers do it for cheap items. What's the threshold I wonder though?
My favorite part about Woot-Offs is seeing the crazy, insane things people do/say in the Woot forum while it's going on.
Have you ever gone IN there? I mean... it's a madhouse. A no-holds-barred madhouse during Woot-offs. Last time there was a Woot-off, I didn't even look for the items. I was refreshing the forum page to see when the next thread would be formed. Sometimes it's disturbing, but if you're up for a trippy/surreal experience (or want to brush up on your vague/seldom referenced internet memes) there's nothing finer.

Probably around $5 and if they're on the fence anyway.

I've been reading them a little today. Earlier this evening something happened and nobody could post pictures in the threads, and they were all bitching up a storm.
What's so surprising about him not having his stovepipe? It's a oft-visible part of his attire, but it's not like it was stitched to his head as plenty of pictures can attest.
I'm not sure, but it looks like a cardboard cut out of el presidente in the picture and you would assume that it would have his stovepipe because it was a noticeable item that he wore ... Meh, or I could be completely wrong
EDIT: I'd explain a bag of crap, but I've only done 3 or 4 woot's and I've still not seen one ... but apparently you don't know what is inside, but it's some sweet stuff ...
Bag o' Crap, basically whatever the shipper feels like throwing in a box and sending. Last time I got a trio of 'em and received a chicken wing platter, expired deluxe doffee, and a rather nice backpack I use to haul my 360 around, though people've reported getting consoles, computers, and televisions from them.

How much did you have to pay out? And do you know if it is usually uniform?
Okay, I'm a bit of a woot newb as well. What's BOC?
Bag of Crap. They're a dollar each. On woot you can buy up to three of any item they post, and shipping is always $5 flat no matter the quantity or size. So when the BOC comes up its basically $8 for a chance at random stuff. You always get a bag (camera bag lately), and then some crap (random).
I've got some decent camera bags, some nice thermos glass beer mugs, and a Roomba from BOC's.

You got a chicken wing platter in the mail? Seriously?
Yup. Red plastic, round, about two feet in diameter. The platter has grooves for the wings to sit in, and the grooves are slightly slanted so that grease and whatnot slowly drips down and away, and it's got a hole in the center where you toss the bones. I remember that they were offering it earlier in that particular woot-off. Gave it to my sister.
On occasion they will do 3 for the price of 1 (so, $6 total as opposed to $8). There's often some overlap in what people get in a BoC if you look at what ends up arriving, but it's pretty random overall. The one I got had a random shitty manga, a useless connector, a dollar store flashlight, an American flag/bald eagle mouse pad, and a bag for laptop accessory-type stuff.

The clip-on mic that comes with those Everglides isn't that bad; I used it for TF2 for a while till my sound ports bit the bullet. The headphones, however, are freakin' gigantic. I feel like an air traffic controller with them on.
Also, it says that they're comfortable for multi-hour use, but after even one hour my ears hurt like hell wearing them.

EDIT: Because who knows when this'll sell out:
Here he comes, here comes Speed Halberd
He’s a demon on wheels
He’s a demon but I guess I just already said that
He didn’t bother with a crew for the pit
He does it all with his 31-piece kit
And when the odds are against him and there’s repair work to do
He’ll wish he’d bought his tools from someplace other than Woot
No, Speed Halberd!
No, Speed Halberd!
No, Speed Halberd, no!
His car’s falling apart because his toolkit really sucks
Well, what did he expect to get for just eight measly bucks?
Surgery’s waiting just ahead!
No, Speed Halberd!
No, Speed Halberd!
No, Speed Halberd, no!
No, Speed Halberd!
No, Speed Halberd!
No, Speed Halberd, no!
EDITOR'S NOTE: And this is for eight bucks, mind you.
