Wootoff is Over

No list, you need to pay attention all day, sometimes two, if you want to get the really good crap.

The best is at the end, if you have a fast server and a fast finger you may get the elusive bag of crap

 
Typically? Crap. The site says so itself. Generally it comes with a hodge podge of things you generally wouldn't buy, though at the really low price of $1.

To be fair, every bag of crap comes with
1) at least one bag
2) crap

You can only buy up to three of anything on Woot, and it goes for bags of crap as well. So generally your total will hopefully go to $8 ($5 shipping is standard), assuming you get three bags of crap. If you are lucky enough to select the 'I want 3' option and come away with three bags of crap, generally they'll give you more than three craps, but not always more than one bag. Sometimes they'll even pack in bags of Texas air!!!

For the record, in my last (and first) three bags of crap, I received:
1) 1x An ipod pillow that you can hook your ipod up to on the inside and it'll play through a speaker inside of the pillow (not that comfortable sadly)
2) 3x 6-slot wine carrying bag
3) 2x 1-slot wine carrying bag
4) 1x 45 gramophone record of... something along the lines of 'My First Classical Composers' songs
5) 2x Electronic Sudoku handheld games
6) 0x bags of Texas air... I guess they assumed that, living in Austin, TX, I already had my own Texas air

Generally they sell out within 30 seconds of being posted though, and Woot servers are easily bogged, so unless you're really looking for it, you're plum out of luck.

I've been on at the right time during a few woot-offs, and the server always takes a dump before I can get through the ordering process.
 
They've got the HP OEM X-FI Xtreme Musics for only $29. I've heard there are modified drivers that allow nearly full software functionality, and that there are very cheap mods to greatly increase the quality of the card. I'm down for one.
 
Wow... Refurbished SONY VGXXL3 for $800... Sonystyle has it (refurbished) for $1960!!!

I could not resist... finally mediacenter made right...
 
I missed out on a 10 pack of Kensington optical mice for $19.99. I have a wireless Kensington, they make a nice mouse. Not sure if the optical in this pack are any better than Logitech but for $2 you can't go wrong. Anyone know if there is a particular time during each hour when they put up a new deal? I'm new to woot so I don't have a clue.
 
According tot he FAQs, they put up a new one at midnight every day.
Right now though, it's some sort of "Woot-Off" event (the spinning lights) so they put up new stuff as soon as the current item sells out.
