If I had to guess, I'd say the fact that it's available in a long-sleeved version has hurt Reckoning sales, though they don't list how many of the long-sleeves have sold...I mean with the wintery theme and all, it's perfect for a non-short-sleeve shirt.

These numbers were actually taken at 12:01 CST ... I was distracted by the Ugly Sweater ... and the three Woot-offs.

Legend: Current rank (Baseline rank) Shirt Name - (Additional sales) and total quantity as of this posting . Refer to the beginning of this reckoning for the baseline sales numbers.

97 (97) Inevitable Betrayal - 3975

Speaking of Woot-off ... if they do end up doing the sale hour today, I wonder how that will affect and/or screw up the noon-time reckoning.

Seriously, can't imagine how 'Thanksgiving' will make it through Monday. I have to buy one more for myself before it's gone...



Ouch - now I'm feeling guilty, I'll buy TWO more...

Yeah, I think that's part of what threw me off... I've gotten compliments on shirts before but they'd already been reckoned. Hey Woot, here's a thought: print up some inexpensive,business card sized inserts. Something simple, "shirt.woot.com - a new shirt every day" or "check often, the Reckoning is a hungry beast" and throw a few into the bag with every shirt that is shipped. I would absolutely keep them in my wallet and hand them to people who comment on my shirts.

Edited to add: to be honest, the first thing I thought was, "Ha! a math geek!" She was pretty and dressed real cute, but she couldn't supress her geek when she saw the shirt! It wasn't until I was standing in the checkout that I realized I could have told her where to get her own!

It's the same here. Sometimes, I'll mess with them instead.

- Is that a real zoo? Yes, yes it is.
- What's on the background? Oh, just the real ingredients of a hot dog.
- Oh, that's so cut-... OH GAWD, that's so cruel! Nah. Squirrels are just naturally pissed off creatures.

For the times in which the shirt is still available, I do try to plug with a simple "thank you - it's a woot shirt". It's usually Unstealthiest Ninja and The Binge that gets the most comments.

Doesn't the woot-off sale happen at 1:00 CST, though? So that shouldn't affect the noon reckoning, unless there's some weird "not gonna buy it yet" psychology going on with shoppers.

Does it happen at 1:00pm CST? If so then I'm in luck, but if it's 1:00pm EST, then I will miss my chance on some discounts. Unless I'm late to class by, say 5 minutes.

Can some one confirm the 1:00 pm CST (2:00pm EST)?

I guess I don't understand this ranking system. Hats That Are Hatty has been outselling Easiest Thanksgiving Recipe all week and has even sold more shirts but it is in the Danger Zone. I just would love to see it survive at least one more week because I purchased that one for me and my 3 years old son (WHO LOVES IT!)

Not saying I don't like Easiest Thanksgiving Recipe, I own it. I just would love to see Hats That Are Hatty around another week!

Time again for the Reckoning, folks! While you're busy putting off your holiday shopping we're busily throwing off t-shirts. Seven of them, to be exact! To make room for the incoming new blood we've got to toss our worst sellers, and today's the day they'll find out we won't be letting them play in any reindeer games. Take a gander, and if you've been wanting one of these guys as a gift then buy 'em today, because it's your last chance to get:

I bought two shirts at around 12:45 EST last night, and I was soooooo bummed 15 minutes later when today turned out to be a Woot Off. I would definitely have waited. ;)

ETA: Even though it's not a discount per se, I would have liked to get the free shipping upgrade on the shirts I purchased (which are meant to be presents). But I'm just gonna chalk this up to another appearance of the Krampus Kurse.

Well, there's a shirt.woot diversion from the main site right now, but it's not a sale, so no difference today.

Tossing in another vote to expand the reckoning. I get paid every other Wednesday and miss a number of shirts I'd like to grab because of the timing.
