Shirt.Woot

We're going to have such a young reckoning. I really wish I wasn't poor. I really want "Spring to Life", "Lifetime Achievement Award", and "Schrödinger’s Equation".

Must. Make. More. Money.

It's really weird seeing a Reckoning where besides Nevermore and Binge, there's only one shirt in the top 20 over double digits. And even then, it's only at 18 weeks. Geez.

EDIT: Whoops I missed See Me Rollin'. Okay, so 4 out of 20 shirts have lasted double digit weeks. That's crazy. I wonder if that's a sign of new buyers or not.

Glad to see aVEGers make it another week. I have my copy and it's such an awesome print. Colors and everything. Great job Wences.

You know how we all cheer when a shirt hits the 52 week mark ... yeah, it looks like 12 weeks is the new benchmark now.

So come on, lil' turtle - you're almost there!

Yep, the cat was done in by the veggies. It had a good run, though.

I will admit to being very curious about next week's Reckoning. I have a feeling something momentous could occur.

I think it has to do with the quality of the artwork. The designs getting printed now are more consistent in terms of quality. Whereas, circa 2008, the designs seemed more amateurish and a really good design stood out more.

Quality is a subjective matter; even 27th place finishers found a good number of buyers, so to them, it was still something of quality.

I think it's a shift in audience and sales patterns. With a higher debut day cap, the sales are more and more "front loaded". It used to take a year or more to hit 10k. Nowadays, it's measured in weeks because 6k of those sales happened the first day already. Shirt nerdery aside, those who bought one on the debut day are unlikely to come back to buy another one. Even discounting the return rate of buyers who faced a sold out sign, that's several thousand sales that would've been spread out in its life in the reckoning that doesn't exist anymore.

On another note, my predictions for #241:
1. Lucky at last
2. 1971-Floppy Diskette
3. Shhhhhhh
4. WET||SLIPPERY WHEN
5. They’re too Short
6. Curiosity
7. Nyan's Dream
8. After All This Time
9. Critical Hit
10. 1981
11. NOT TRICKS, MICHAEL
12. Family Breakfast
13. The Binge
14. Family Portrait
15. All Sails Ahead!
16. They See Me Rollin'
17. Not Like The Others…
18. Pirate (space)ship
19. Nevermore
20. 1985: Year of the Plumber
21. The Artist
22. Read
23. The aVEGers!
24. uniCONE
25. Almost Free
26. Puss in Boot
27. Nacho Champ

Are your predictions for the places they will be at midnight or the ending predictions next Monday?

Midnight tonight.

Wootbot broke the reckoning, I was clicking on buy for various shirts and it just reloads the main page, tried both on firefox and IE.

At first I was like, "what's so nerdy about that shirt?" Then I saw it. Sad, hilarious, and awesome all at the same time.

The bird falling again was expected...

Narfcake wrote:13. The Binge

however I wasn't expecting binge to begin its descent. A couple of weeks ago and this would have been danger zone.

... But
wait
there's
more!

Impressive. You are indeed King of the Shirt Nerds.

???? Where is the bird!

My reckoning page shows:

Longest Survivor:

Say No To Scurvy
survived 214 weeks

Did it come back to life or did somebody miss a pointer?

That was worthy of a screenshot... wonder what's up?

What the? Say No to Scurvy? Since when was that a reckoning shirt?

What a week for the noobs! 20 survivors this week, and 7 going home...

Something is obviously going on with woot currently as it has all the shirts marked as noobs with no # of weeks, and "Say no to scurvy" is in the hamper of fame for the longest survivor!

Okay, here's a few possibilities about Say No to Scurvy being back.
1. This is serious. Woot is going to sell this shirt again.
2. This is some weird glitch.
3. Woot has been hacked
4. This is an early April Fool's joke by Woot.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Say No to Scurvy has been in the reckoning for 214 weeks. You guys just haven't been paying attention.

Reading the comments, it says the shirt came back in Dec 2011, for a special event maybe? Anyhow, the final sale date is now Dec 9th, 2011 and wootbot seems to have decided that it must have been available all the weeks in-between too.

Wootbot must be hitting the sauce again. Maybe wootbot is celebrating spring?

I have the chance for one more, but I won't now because of this.

I did pull off this too, however.
