Shirt.Woot

Happy Dependence Day!

http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=4472

My first random shirt buy too. The building worlds shirt would be amazing to get. I've been playing old nintendo games on the G Tablet I got off woot!

It's soooooo tempting. Like opening a randomized booster pack of clothing.

Alright now I really want to buy 3 shirts. I really do. But I need to make a pros and cons list.

Pros:
1. Woot shirts! Awesome!
2. If I don't like them, I can always try and trade.
3. 3 shirts for $20 is a pretty good deal.

Cons:
1. College student on a budget.
2. I'm pretty lazy, I might not want to make the effort to trade. If I get 3 Sirius GPP shirts, I could be stuck with them.
3. ...College student on a budget.

...I'm still stuck. I want to buy 3 shirts but I'm just not sure. Any thoughts?

EDIT: Removing Sirius GPP joke about ? mark shirt.

Question: Are the shirts guaranteed to be amongst the ones listed in the description? Because, if so,
A)That kinda ruins part of the surprise for me
B)There's not enough I like to take a chance on.
C) I really thought I'd have a chance to get a sugar skull this time around; guess since it's not out of the Reckoning yet it's not gonna happen.

wish i could buy random shirts.... my parents won't let me buy anymore.

*sigh*

You can ALWAYS buy the Random Shirt Shirt.

It's okay. Someone always asks. I'm off to help another!!!

Yeah. But it's like getting all Epic and rares in the pack. Totally worth it.

As much as I love Random Shirt Day, I'm afraid I will have to pass this time. Bought 3 the last 2 times and I've been quite satisfied with both the shirts and the trades I got, so if anyone is skeptical, don't be!

Yeah, I realized right after I posted how Sirius GPP it was. Sorry.

For what it's worth, in May's random, the answer to this was "no". My husband and I did get a few that were in the description, but some that weren't as well.

Bought 3 again this time, though not many I like in the description (wouldn't mind the last cupcake though, or world 1-1 -- just please, no business shirt...), but worst case, I'll just try and swap em. With the $5 coupon from the last random sale, I figure it's worth a shot.

Short of a thrift store or buying blank shirts in bulk, I can't think of any other place you can buy USA made shirts for this price.

For those who end up trading ... 1 shirt usually go USPS first class (in reused Woot bags) for about $3. 2 shirts, USPS small flat rate priority for about $5. 3 shirts ... it runs closer to $10 in one box.

YOU CONVINCED ME. It's the American way! In for 3. May the Woot! Gods be with me...

Currently writing a novel for Campnanowrimo.org so maybe these shirts will give me some inspiration!

I wonder if you can help me.

My math skills are a little rusty, i would like to know, what is the probability of me getting shirt I like when:

- i like 5 from 12 designs
- i would buy 3 shirts

What is the probability, that i will get one, two or three shirts I like in the shippment??

Narfcake wrote:There's going to be more than 12 in their pile. My guess is that they'll be drawing from at least 41 different shirts (#194 to #199), plus perhaps some oldies for good measure.

Short answer: If antonkozon buys three and he'll have an 80% chance of getting one he likes.

Long gambling geek answer: We know antonkozon likes 5 out of 12 shirts (42%). If we assume that he'll like other shirts in the same proportion, it doesn't matter how big the pool of shirts is.

For an order of three shirts, there are eight possibilities for shirts antonkozon either Likes or Dislikes, which I'll call "L" or "D". The chance that he'll get all three shirts that he likes ("LLL") is 42% x 42% x 42%, or 7%. This is row one of the short table below. The chance of him liking the first two shirts he grabs out of the bag but not the third is 42% x 42% x 58%, which equals 10% (see row 2). And so on...

1) LLL 42%x42%x42%=7%
2) LLD 42%x42%x58%=10%
3) LDL 42%x58%x42%=10%
4) LDD 42%x58%x58%=14%
5) DLL 58%x42%x42%=10%
6) DLD 58%x42%x58%=14%
7) DDL 58%x58%x42%=14%
8) DDD 58%x58%x58%=20%

Thus, to answer his question, the probability that he will get exactly one, exactly two or exactly three shirts he likes is as follows (only adds up to 99% due to rounding)

Exactly 0 = row 8 = 20%
Exactly 1 = row 4, 6, and 7 = 42%
Exactly 2 = row 2, 3, and 5 = 30%
Exactly 3 = row 1 = 7%

If he's asking "at least 1, at least 2, or all 3" then it's

Exactly 0 = row 8 = 20%
At least 1 = everything except row 8 = 80%
At least 2 = row 1, 2, 3, 5 = 37%
Exactly 3 = row 1 = 7%

Oh, and the house always wins :-)

Darn. And here I WANTED a shirt with a blurry question mark. Oh well.....

I've become addicted to Random Shirt Days. My kid has become addicted to Random Shirts Mom Doesn't Want Day. I've also become addicted to Woot's Not Random Shirts. Most regretted missed purchase, "Coughee". Anyone with "Coughee" want to trade or sell??? Worn, but undamaged would do.

If anyone gets an Emperor Penguin shirt, I am willing to trade my impending Random Shirt for it.

Is there a limit? Can I buy more than three?

SilentLegend wrote:Is there a limit? Can I buy more than three?

Limit three per account ... so if you have a significant other, sign them up too if you want more.

I want to buy three of these but I keep getting the following message:

your order is NOT in.
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR ORDER:
Order denied.
Billing address does not match.

I have moved since the last time I ordered something here but I've updated everything and it all matches. Any suggestions?

First time Wooter bought 3.

Tempted. But I really don't need another Exclamation Point shirt.

Where does the trading discussion go on? I've got a shirt from the last batch that I'd like to trade.

I have the 'gingers' shirt in Large that I'm looking to ditch.

I didn't knooooow about the ABT rule! I bought only 2!

Do you ALWAYS get a $5 off coupon if you buy three? Do y'all think if I buy one more shirt I'll still get a coupon code for next time?

Not always, and it's probably not possible to purchase again anyways due to the one-order-per-day limit.

In the thread titled Random Shirt Trade Center. Or TeeTrade.

Narfcake wrote:In the thread titled Random Shirt Trade Center. Or TeeTrade.

Thanks! Is there a way to upload a shirt on teetrade.org without downloading/uploading the image? They have the images linked, but I don't see a way to just enter a URL.

Narfcake wrote:Not always, and it's probably not possible to purchase again anyways due to the one-order-per-day limit.

Huh. I thought the limit was on shirts per day, not also orders per day.

Well, I'll know for next time! Thanks!

All three I got last time were less than "meh". I'm skipping out on this random, maybe another time.

I'm so excited!!!! In for 3!! =D

All orders will ship by Monday July 11th. Due to the holiday, overnight orders will ship July 5th.

Ahh, it changed now. Last night when I looked at it, it said tuesday. Now it's saying wednesday.

Been drinking since morning. So I bought 3 even though I don't need no shirts. The end.

Maybe not ALL of them are Monday holidays, but they do overwhelmingly seem to occur on Mondays!

6:17 pm Eastern and no sizes are sold out yet. Hmmmmmm? Where are the Snowdens.....er, WOOTERS....of yesteryear?

The great thing is, if I end up not liking a shirt, it'll make a good birthday present for my friend. The only problem that could arise would be if I like all three...

This is only my second purchase from shirt.woot, but it'd be a great way to figure out which is the best size for me.

I checked the sizing chart for my first order and got a WS because it seemed like it would be big enough, but when I got it, it was smaller than expected.

Ordered 3 this time. WM, WL, and WXL. Hope I get something good.
