And again. 2 minutes of refreshing and getting the sold out page of the previous item. And not until 12:58 when this item is already sold out do I even have access to the webpage. Don’t know what more I can do…
This is the closest I’ve gotten yet. Got to a waiting list page and then this:
Denied
What’s going on here?
Look, we really wanted your mon… uh, to sell you that awesome thing, but here’s the deal: we ran out. We waited to see if anyone else would drop the ball so we could swoop in and take their stuff and give it to you, but not this time. We have other, probably even more awesome things you can buy, though. Maybe don’t wait so long to snap those up.

Are you refreshing the Community page instead of the Woot home page? For some reason the listing on the Community page updates well ahead of the home page. From the Community page, just click the picture of the item to go to the “I Want One!” page. ALSO, just before an item sells out (~10% or so), add it to your cart, then proceed to checkout as if you were going to buy it. After re-logging in, remove the item from your cart. This will save you from having to input your password when trying to score crap.
Same here. It’s one thing to be too slow to get one, but what dictates someone’s page loading with the new item and some else’s page continuously loading with the sold out item.
Seems everyone was buying while I was still seeing the previous item. I’m fine with missing out if all things are equal, but this is ridiculous. By the time I got the BOC showing I hit I want one and the next page said “sold out”. It’s not even physically possible to sell out that fast. Well, if not for the fact on certain user’s are permitted to get a true and timely page update.
