Notice nearly every long stall in the Woot-off has been on a bread related product. I guess Woot customers are avoiding their carbs.

They had some serious problems last night. Items would come up, then be instantly sold out with 0 items sold. Then next item, same thing, then items came back. Whoops for Woot.

That was one heck of a Woot-off!

43 of the 64 Woots each sold out in under 15 minutes!

Here are some eye-popping stats from those 43 fastest sell outs
  • 43 Woots (67% of all Woots in Woot-off)
  • 6,695 Items (36% of the total item counts for Woot-off)
  • 156 - Average Number of Items per Woot
  • 6 Hours (only 14% of total Woot-off Time)
  • 8 Minutes - Average Sell Out Time
  • $221,000 In Sales (over 40% of all sales from Woot-off)
  • $_37,000 - Average Sales per Hour!
Woot sure knows how to pull in the loot!

That's about the 16th time they've had these TV's up, isn't it?

What's wrong with them? Why is no one buying them?

If you look at the responses in the woot blog most people can't afford to spend $2500. My cousin's wife works for InFocus and I gathered that due to poor marketing and prohibitive pricing (IIRC the 61" display was around $6,000 MSRP) this product line failed. Woot.com has been the primary liquidator of its stock of these products. I've heard that the displays are good though.
