Wootoffs would go much faster and more efficiently if we, the consumer had some prior warning as to what was going to be sold in advance. I understand that this is counter to Woot's (Amazon's) business model but most people cannot just sit in front of their computers all day HOPING that something worth buying will be offered for sale.
Bottom line: I would do a lot more business with Woot if I knew what they were selling and did not think I would be wasting my time.

Neato XV-12 All Floor Robotic Vacuum System
$299.99 + $5 shipping
Who is buying this thing ?!
I really doubt they sell out.
Actually, I'm betting Woot just pulls items like this off their website after an hour or so. Otherwise the Woot-Off would simply stall.

Well I can tell you,in advance it will be mostly crap at fair to midlin prices (with a few pieces of uninteresting junk at pretty much regular price). How's that !
Wouldn't it cool if they just offered up really neat stuff at great prices and just popped up the items at random until they sold out. And people would be all excited and tuned into their webpage just waiting for the next cool deal to spring up. Wouldn't that be neat !!!! They could call it a Wootoff or something like that.

This has by far, been the worst Wootoff I can remember. I really figured Woot would go South after the buyout, and it sure seems to be heading there. I have found myself buying things from Woot's competitors more than Woot now. I think the only thing I have bought at Woot this year are my Xoom and my wife's Galaxy 5.0. Oh, and I had to send back my first Xoom for a bad pixel.... love it to death though.
