thinredline · 06-15-2011, 09:00 AM

Finally received my PE shipping notice from Meijer this morning. Hopefully get it before this weekend!

LOL . . . snuggies with book light right now . . . .

emusan · 06-15-2011, 11:18 AM

and now roomba's, which may take the next hour or so to sell out

missed out on the bag of crap... maybe PE will be up soon for cheap enough that I can buy it

Bag of Crap Description (sounds very promising):

Unless, of course, they’re wasting it on pointless garbage like this. The price of our humble Bag O’ Crap barely amounts to what you can scrape off of the inside of an empty pot of gold. But for sheer pointlessness, it’s up there with an ermine-lined swimming pool, or matching solid-gold Segways for everybody in your entourage.

Did anybody get one??? I failed.

you should be able to find it with a search for woot in the amazon app store...

Another Woot-off comes and goes, and no Pocket Edges again. I think Amazon must have squirreled them out the back door.

emusan · 06-16-2011, 10:13 AM

well some users had reported that when they got theirs it wasn't "new", so they probably used the last of their stock to replace those...

Last_of_the_PEs · 06-16-2011, 12:16 PM

That's true. And since Entourage is now gone, Woot may not want to sell a product like that online. It's unlikely that replacements of bad units and what they didn't sell came out exactly even.

benham · 06-16-2011, 02:05 PM

That was fun, though. They should have T-Shirts "I Survived My First WOOT OFF!"

mr_ed · 06-16-2011, 04:06 PM

They might show up on moofi.

(If you're an engineer, rotate each letter 180° around an axis parallel to the x axis but offset in the positive-y direction by half the height of each individual letter.)

(Otherwise, just flip each letter vertically.)

Moofi is a semi-mystical place. Moofi items for sale each have their own, secret internet addresses, but moofi itself does not.

For example, http://moofi.woot.com/moofi/spidermobile was just posted today. No way would you guess that address based on what the item is. Nor its other address, http://deals.woot.com/deals/go/a07df...4-183c39ae4e92.

But all is revealed to those who every day or so (depending on how eagerly you're watching for a particular item) go here: http://deals.woot.com/deals/search?q...ort=mostrecent.

This takes you to deals.woot, searches on the term moofi, and puts the results in order by the most recent. Now, deals.woot is a place where the wooting public (and sellers who want to reach the wooting public) post their ideas of great deals.

BUT !!! Woot staff slips woot items in there too, and moofi shows up in their descriptions. Why? Left field!

Moofi ... woot!

The Amazon store says WootWatcher is FREE, but they SELL it. (BOGUS)
Even the "FREE App of the Day" says: "To purchase xxxx please add a payment method in your 1-click settings"
SlideMe is not working for me today, and AndAppStore is cranky!
I found it here: http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDo...oad-96947.html

He means they still want you to have a credit card on your account with 1-click enabled...
