Happened to check woot.com, and today's (August 3) woot is a package of three box sets: Volumes XIV and XV, and the anniversary set. $49.95 plus $5 shipping.
I didn't have XIV or XV, so I figured it was a decent deal and bought the package.

Just in case anyone isn't familiar with Woot, they only sell one item a day, and whatever they're selling only lasts for one day. You won't be able to get it tomorrow, and if they sell out at some point that's it. So if you want to do this, you need to act fast.
EDIT: I didn't look at it before I posted. It's apparently sold out already.

Thanks for posting this.
That's a terrific price for 3 sets!
I've since joined W00T! and today I bought my first item. 12 movies for $29.99, includes shipping.
IF that hasn't sold out, of course.
Now I have a reason to stay up 'til midnight...

That looks like a great deal, but it has just enough movies that I already have to make me not want to spend the money.

Is there some kind of catch to this site or what? Sounds like you could get some great bargains.

It's a pretty good looking site. Doesn't seem like a fly-by-night outfit or anything...
The catch is you need to check it early, or they COULD get sold out, I guess.

Yeah, the only catch is the whole "only available for one day" thing. You can tell if an item is close to selling out by watching the "I Want One" button. If it's bouncing around, that means they're running low.
Also, if you see strobe lights on the site, that means they're in the middle of a "Woot Off." A Woot Off is a special where they sell more than one item in a day. Instead of waiting until midnight, a new item will go on sale as soon as the previous item sells out.

That 3-sets of MST3K sold almost 3000 units, and was sold out by 9am...if I'm reading the data correctly. Sounds like a heck of a lot of sets.
Pretty cool site, the way they show an item's selling stats.

My wife and I are both avid DVD collecters, and her mouth dropped when I told her about this site. She and I may become new members very soon!
