It started yesterday. There are batteries in electronics woot, if anyone needs AAA to replace the leaky ones from meh. Also some 9V, which meh hasn't had yet. Hoping they will someday soon.
@communist said: "they will will the device . . . ".
To where (or when) will they will it? Because I have a few people in my life to whom I'd delightfully stick a leaky Duracell battery up their ass if but to only (finally) have them willed away.
@tranadra Yeah. Woot-offs have been mostly stuff that's available in a side sale on a random day anyways, so there's really not much of a reason to impulse buy them anymore.
@tranadra@narfcake I'm just a bit pissed at a few things there right now. 1) the items are overpriced for a wootoff 2) I don't like shipping charges. 3) I've had issues with boc yesterday
As to 3) I'm fairly good at getting boc. I haven't missed one in a very long time. But it seems like yesterday there were extra glitches or something.
@mehvermore Very true... I've even stopped trying to get crap this time... sure I'll refresh and try but it seems to be glitching more than normal... Also could do with the fact that 75% of my Woot purchases are crap... (the other 25% usually tend to be crap but not purchased as such)
I just went to see what people were saying about the freeze dried food thing. There is no conversation going on at all. Each product has 1 or 2 comments only. Say what?? There used to be hundreds for each.
@sohmageek Well... At first I was like SHIiiit When I hit the waiting room... then it became Crap... Waiting my disappointment... Honestly when you guys at Meh try to be a bad Fuku It comes out better than all of the Craps I've gotten.
I stopped shopping at Woot when they went from one deal a day to a million billion trillion and eleventy-two deals a day. If they're going to put that many items on a deal site, there should be a search feature.
@somf69 What people? I want less. Instead of offering nearly 2000 products at just a couple dollars off retail, I would rather see around 1 to 5 products at unbelievable prices. I do not buy anything from woot on an impulse now because I can wait until I need it and just buy it from Amazon for a couple dollars more.
@cengland0 Amazon has started having things sold by woot on Amazon. Woot prices but prime shipping from Amazon.com instead of woot.com. The prices on the items aren't too bad but then when you factor in shipping it kills the deals. I hope they figure out shipping. I just can't justify paying shipping on an item that is only $3 less than I'd pay elsewhere with free shipping.
@cengland0 I agree, I hate all that crap, At times there is really good stuff, but it can take a while to find it through all the pages of other crap. I'm starting to worry about meh. At some point they will grow, I just hope it's not too much.
the only things i still look for and buy from woot are the wine.woot cheese items and home.woot candy factory items. hello, i'm annwat and i'm a choco loving cheesehead.

@heartny The made-in-China Duracell batteries have had previous bouts of leakage too.
@narfcake If it wasn't for occasional bouts of leakage, many of us wouldn't be here at all . . .
@narfcake fun fact, if you buy real duracells batteries and they leak, call duracell and they will will the device that the battery leaked in for free

@Pavlov I think it has to leak only after insertion.
@CoreyK that's what sh...
never mind
Meh
I don't really care for woot anymore. The magic is gone. Thanks for the tip though.

@tranadra I still look at it, but there is no joy in it. The magic has moved to meh.
@tranadra WORD!

woot who?
@mamawoot woot beatles!
@AlohaSnackbar woot rolling stones?
@pitamuffin woot monkees!
@narfcake @pitamuffin yes, these guys.

@cedar1079 I didn't participate as much as I should have. Time/Money issues. But I wish I had made the time to at least converse.
@sohmageek Well... At first I was like SHIiiit When I hit the waiting room... then it became Crap... Waiting my disappointment... Honestly when you guys at Meh try to be a bad Fuku It comes out better than all of the Craps I've gotten.
@cedar1079 It's sad.
I did see they are scattering Bags of Clippings around again... so there is that.
The few times I viewed I didn't really see many "deals"... once you add the $5 shipping on it usually comes pretty close to amazon prime prices.
@thismyusername you are allowed to say Bag of Crap, but that would be an insult to the Original Bags of Crap

@mortonfox Not counting the changing wootoff items, there are currently 1,966 active items for sale on Woot. That's ridiculous.
@cengland0 but people wanted more......

Right now, for $34.99, you can get a "Mystery Hammock".......are you fucking kidding me? I'm embarrassed I even looked at that.....

I hate the plethora of "deals," but... I have spent more there in the past year than ever before.
