I totally fail to grok The Binge, but then I never once got drunk during college, so I'm not the target audience.

Yeah, it's definitely a YMMV environment. Binge doesn't do anything for me, but Nevermore is a favorite.

My (adult) son's preferences are just reversed. What in the world, he wonders, has kept Nevermore on the list more than a week or two??? Weak-minded buyers, he's sure.

That annoyed me so much that I bought a third one during the next woot-off. I showed him!

Honestly, I think the new Four Classmates is clever and original. I bought it.

I think I'm going to buy Evermore for my fiance for Christmas. It's not my cup of tea though.

You would think I have better things to do ... but obviously not. So here are the numbers for tonight.

Maybe with PixelPants getting the print today - and everbody begging for black tees - Shelf Life will pull off a come back?! Poor Soap Opera - I wore mine with my held held high yesterday, but I love a good bad pun!

It's possible, though it won't be easy. It's not just this week's sales to make up, but the previous weeks' too.

It does seem to have impacted positively on Shelf Life sales, but you're right about the baggage of previous week's sales. It hasn't been enough to shift in the ranking and I'm not sure what sort of volume it would need to get any upward momentum. Little did I know the added meaning the name Shelf Life would gain as the design prolonged it's stay here in the reckoning. It's not the sort of design that prints every week so I'm grateful people gave it the opportunity they did, and hope as many as have possible to got pick one up for themselves.

Apparently 5000+ others agree with you. I think we're looking at the new number one come Tuesday.

Edit: and if not Tuesday, then shortly after.

Silly dragons, couldn't you have held on for just another couple of hours? Ah well, thanks to everyone who picked one up! I finally got mine this week and it looked as good as I'd hoped. Many thanks to Woot for the opportunity to have it printed. ^__^

Commiserations to the other poor reckoned souls. I'm surprised to see Shelf Life go this week, it seemed to have pretty good numbers.

Spiritgreen wrote:Silly dragons, couldn't you have held on for just another couple of hours?

It was only earlier this morning that 20th and 21st swapped places. The lack of activity in the final minutes can't confirm whether it was just one shirt that made the difference, however, but they were close nonetheless.

Commiserations to the other poor reckoned souls. I'm surprised to see Shelf Life go this week, it seemed to have pretty good numbers.

I'm sad to see it go too. Alas, the past two weeks weren't as strong, and that dragged down the average.

The coming Reckoning should be interesting - Classmates should blast to the top and there are several others that, if they continue to sell well, should get out of the basement quickly. Anybody complaining about too much pop culture or not enough diversity need only look at Oak's performance this week.

Can anyone post pics in the "Show Us Your Woot: The Official Post-Your-Shirts Thread"? Seeing how they turn out could make it easier for some people to decide to pick one up ...

I bought both and I do like Four Seasons in One Day better, but I'm wondering how much of the difference is the central leaf [biggest complaint in the thread] as opposed to Seasons getting a boast from the RamyB fanclub?

...boost... although the other could be a Freudian slip

I bought two more dragons this week for friends from Japan. Mine looks great.

Sad to see Fire Maker and Shelf Life go. Both are gorgeous designs. Compared to the last several reckonings there was almost no movement at all in the danger zone not to mention 18-20.

I like Four Seasons better myself, but haven't bought it yet due to having way too many brown shirts at the moment. The leaf doesn't really bother me, but it must bother some enough to pick Ramy's design over it. Guess we'll see in the next week or so.

Maybe it was one of those "Oh, this one won, bird in the hand, wot wot, cheerio chaps"

Also if people wanted a 4 seasons shirt they likely bought the 1st, then failed to buy a second.

Observationally, we seem to be seeing quite a few more >3000 first day shirts. Someone's plan is coming together nicely.

Honestly, it's very hard to say what the buying habits are when it comes to Woot's audience. Case in point, Just A Little Paint versus Odd Bear Out. Both out of the same derby, both kelly green shirts, both white and panda bears, yet a big difference in sales and longevity through the reckoning.

And I bought Odd bear Out - although it took me awhile - and Just A Little Paint was cute, too, but didn't do it for me.

The day after it reckoned and I finally hold Shelf Life in my hands. Really happy to see how it printed on different sizes. Super pleased it got to print considering what it took to get it done. Can't thank people enough for giving it a go and especially want to pay tribute to the those who have been such vocal supporters in the forums and bought extra copies to extend it's shelf life.
Now it's Four Season's shot and I'm just grateful to be in the position of having two prints here. It's interesting that the design polarises people for the reasons it does. Quite a few commenters suggest they would buy it if it was done differently, but that would be a different shirt. This is the one that was submitted more than a day into the derby, hit the fog in less than 24hrs and people are now choosing to buy. Anyone wanting a different shirt are not short of options on this and other sites.

Here's another comparison of a similar situation with fewer variables (e.g. artist). I'll leave the speculation to others:

Well, it definitely adds to the time variable, since they were out of different derbies. Nonetheless, others will have to speculate - I bought both of them.

Yeah, funny. The older one is lasting much much longer.
I only bought the scarecrow one as I'm not a fan of cute zombie kiddies.
