How does people buy these items so quickly? Within 1 min? What is the strategy?
In this case, a bunch of people purchased 2 or 3, so combined with low inventory, it went very quickly.
Scalpers. RAM is going through a rough patch at the moment.
My ram has died on wife’s PC. I have constantly tried to get just one set of DDR5 for weeks. I ordered 30 secs after midnight. Cancelled 2 mins after ordering.
Woot leaves high quantity and they get snatched up by scalping resellers. Any profitable tech on woot get snatched up by the bots. Woot lets people get Development APIs and with web scraping, bots get all of the actual good deals.
Absolutely insane it went that quick
Yup they make it too easy for flippers to get them
Can’t wait to see these babies posted up on EBay in a week for a crazy markup
Woot is absolutely not what it used to be. This site is basically just another bot infested marketplace where good deals don’t exist for real people anymore.
Granted these were priced at under half of current market value, 32gb of DDR5 is going for ~$240 currently and the price has been rising alarmingly quickly.
