I’m waiting to hear about someone writing this off as a business expense… anyone an accountant? What’s the likelihood of being able to write this off?

For example an influencer who buys this to unbox live and calls the purchase a business expense?

Yeah, an influencer/content creator absolutely could. Or someone who takes it and uses it as a giveaway through their own business.

That’s actually a really good idea.

I’d totally do this, if I were one of those losers who pays taxes.

It’s not something I personally would have purchased, but who am I to complain about what other people do with their money? If it’s worth it to them, have at it!

The pay is, as should be expected, very crappy.

Quick follow up: did that work? Because it seems like the only genius strategy was for woot to manage to say “this is worth $2000” and get people to basically pay that, sometimes more.

Evil geniuses.

most likely influencers who bought up these boxes and will be posting unboxings and making the cash back that way… i wouldn’t be surprised

I am just going to assume that the people who paid more than $3,000 are also among those who gave $1.99 for cans of Fancy Feast cat food that are 88 cents at Walmart. :man_shrugging:t3:

I had actually originally thought that those were just fellow cat owners who maybe wasted a buck to take advantage of a cheap way of buying something, anything from Woot!

But, to knowingly waste a grand is on a whole different level. :man_shrugging:t3::rofl::exploding_head:

tbf, they were the only really good thing to spend $2 coupons on yesterday. Good cart filler to round a $6 item up to $10
