Shirt.Woot

As of this moment 'Acquired Taste' is both the best and worst seller. Is there nothing this shirt can't do?

I wish there were more bright colors. The Reckoning is always so gloomy! Let's see some lemon or something.

So the Reckoning is based on a shirt's sales from the monday through monday after the week it premiered? I am simply trying to understand here...does it only take into account the current week's sales or does it factor in sales from weeks past as well? For example, does Nevermore really keep selling shirts week after week or is it helped by the fact that it's been in the reckoning for years? Thanks folks.

I really like today's woot shirt...

Myself personally I would be up for some red in that mix. Was kinda hoping for a ramby win in the derby last week. Oh well.

Could someone explain to me how "Invasive" sold 898 shirts, but it is BELOW "One of Those Days" (that sold only 554 shirts)???


They printed at the same time (March 16th and 17th), and neither one had a big run of sales after their first day.


How is this possible??????


I honestly think woot just ranks shirts however they want.

Saw that and wondered the same thing - hilarious

Woot does not count day one sales to the ranks. All this shows was that invasive has been able to sell less shirts than one of those days after day one. Dont let the total number of sales fool you.

me thinks the bot used last weeks post for the copy pasted reckoning post.

You know you really screwed up when you get a Simpsons themed pop culture shirt to print and it doesn't even break the 800 mark on it's first day of sales.

Not exactly... It's based on the shirt's average sales per day, excluding its launch day, over the past 4 weeks. I thought that Invasive and One of Those Days right now weren't following that logic, but just realized that since the percentages shown are rounded to the nearest full percentage point, it's impossible to know the exact number sold on launch day. And the uncertainty in that number is definitely enough to have Invasive above One of Those Days. Spirit Animal does still seem a little odd, though. There's no way to tell for sure, since the 96% on Tuesday includes both the launch day and today. But, at the least, it would have to have sold about 4% of its total sales today, to be above Wizard Magic Party. It's certainly possible, but seems odd.

As far as Nevermore, since it's averaged over the past 4 weeks, it's possible that its had a drop off in sales the past couple weeks, but more likely people are still buying it at a steady rate.

The red shirts were all killed off unceremoniously before the second commercial break.

That just goes to show how serious of a situation the reckoning really is.

I am surprised at how many of the shirts (9 to be exact) are nothing more than an exemplification of the Sesame Street "One of these things is not like the other things."

I'm NOT surprised, seeing several originated in Derby #186 - Oddball.

I am just proud to own some serisouly original Woot shirts that have since been reckoned away.

Red shirts, brown shirts, green shirts, blue shirts, black shirts, grey shirts. All, to me, are spshul and superawesomefantastic. The Poe and TMBG shirts are favorites of mine.

And, due to the turn over of the shirts and fast rate shirts get reckoned, I have been buying a second shirt of my favorite designs as a back up. Just in case, you never know.

Woah. When did Impostor reckon?!

Dammit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a T-Shirt designer.

Obviously the Meh fans are not apathetic enough.

whatever

I'm apathetic about the Reckoning shirts this week. Does that mean I get a free "Meh" shirt?

Two thoughts this week:

1) I'm plum stunned that the "meh" shirt really ranks so high in the Derby.

2) It's a shame some of the really quality designs didn't wind up placing ahead of the usual 3 we get shirts on the derby list from. I have a feeling most of them won't last more than a couple weeks or so.

Best of luck in the next derby!

Where was the Simpson themed shirt? I missed it. Is it still around. Please let me know where it is. Thanks

Look on the reckoning page at the row of "Bystanders" - it should be the first from the left, I guess.

It fell two reckonings back. I remember it as if it were just this month..the date was March 14th. Not quite the Ides of March, but certainly a momentous day nonetheless...

Patrickspens and ramyb are dominating the line up with 3 shirts each...great shirts but 6 out of 20 by 2 people?

Well, if it's what the people vote for and buy, and continue to buy, then that's what it means.

FWIW, two of the bystanders are by them too. So if none of their shirts are reckoned in the next 20 (or 25) minutes, that'd be 8 between the two of them next week.

Agreed.

And there goes the only shirt (Gardening at Night) worth buying. Anyone have a $5 off coupon they don't want to use?

No, wish I had one to use for myself, the shirt is amazing I own 2 already and am thinking of picking up the third just in case.

Decisions, decisions.

Does Woot normally end sales 5 or so minutes before midnight their time? I tried buying Gravity a few minutes ago, only to show it as sold out....
