Looks like Woot is getting hit by bots which look for deals they can flip for a profit then buy out the entire stock. This happens pretty much weekly nowadays.
The first woot took 9m23s and over an hour to sell out. Their business model is not socialism. If the items end up on eBay, don’t buy them at a higher price. It takes three woot refurbs to make one working item so be happy you were sparred.
Now that this junk is gone, they’ll offer you some BT item shortly. Hit F5 so you don’t miss it
It’s called Capitalism. Those buyers have spent time and energy to set up a process, and it works. No whining about how unfair it is. When I find a $2 item at Goodwill I can sell on eBay for $100, I buy it. Same thing.
Nice. I bought this from Newegg last year for $399. It’s a sweet computer and still a good deal at $440. The keyboard and mouse aren’t the greatest, but they’re easily replaced and this thing has no problem handling anything I throw at it (though I am NOT a gamer). I do a lot of graphic design in photo shop and it does very well.
One tip: look for the pyramid shaped subwoofer. It makes a big difference in the sound, which is a bit tin can sounding without the sub.
Yeah sucks as I was really considering this when I got the notification last night but when I checked, all sold out. Good for Woot, bad for customers but that is life. Everybody bought 3 of them so Woot made their money, while we saved ours. I am not going to e-bay to buy one of these things at a mark up. Such is life. The Rolling Stones got it right.
