So... Did you get any crap?
I didn't :(
nope, have yet to get one :(
I got lucky and actually scored one today!!! Right place at the right time!
Edit: Anyone else notice that it shows up in purchase history this time as "Bag of Crap" rather than "Random Crap"?
Noooooooooooooooooooooo
No, Woot hates me.
@unclefrog: Congrats!
I had a streak going, but missed the one today.
I tried the multiple tabs trick, patience, everything I could think of. I got it in my cart, but it wouldn't do anything.
I scored my 3rd one today. Apparently my lucky crappy days end in a 5: 12/25, 1/25, and now 6/15.
@hackman2007: I specifically avoided multiple tabs today. I've tried multiple tabs the previous few times and never gotten anything.
I used to try for them when there was an outside chance of getting some really good stuff. After having read the contents of what others have received lately, I don't want to spend the money on such foolishness. I would rather give it to the drunk sitting on the corner uptown. He just might eat instead of imbibe.
I was mobile and my tweetdeck didn't update when it was suppose to. Fail for me as I didn't pay attention to the time, oh well, there is always next time.
Nope. My boss was on the computer and I'm already on double-secret-probation for being here too much. Gotta pick your battles.
nope, clicked the buy button, no response...
A few minutes after I logged of and had to run to a dentist appointment, I checked my phone and there it was. I swear woot waits until they don't see me logged on to release the kraken, this is the second time that this has happened. But, maybe I'm just paranoid. ;)
I'm proud to be able to say that I have never missed one that came up while I was at my computer.
Nope, didn't even see it. This thing called work and production got in the way.
Nope woot hates me too!
Was kinda hoping to get one this time though I doubt woot would of shipped it out in time for my birthday lol.
Oh well maybe next time.
@msklzannie: The multiple tabs trick normally works for me. This was the first time in quite a while that I've come away empty handed.
BUT, one of my friends managed to grab their first. All they did was open one browser window (Google Chrome) and wait.
Yes, first one I've ever gotten, and I created my woot account at the end of July in 2005. It's been a long hard wait, but victory is mine!!!
I get crap everyday.
yes i got some crap. just not from woot :)
No BoC. I got a "connecting" message, then finally the order screen, then a "connecting" to PayPal..then a sold out. Bummer.
No. I stopped trying for a BOC. It has been about 2 years that I have been part of the "Woot!" family, and I have given up trying. Good luck to those that do.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
What's this "letter" I keep hearing about?
I couldn't even get to the order page,and I was all over it the second it came up. Spin, spin, spin, belch! I am blaming the full moon/eclipse, NOT Woot, although having gotten 1 bag of crap last time, maybe they love those of us not getting it the best.
Why was it so dang early -_-
[sigh} I finally have the happy coincidence of a day off AND a woot-off, and I totally forgot to check the time; realized around 7:30 that I'd missed the BOC.
Rats.
@threepiecewoot: The thing you are supposed to mail to me :)
@hackman2007: uh this guy got a letter, but no big arse TV

be careful!
@threepiecewoot: lol it is the thing that you are adding to my box since I have been an excellent boy this year! and my whole family loves you threepiecewoot!
I passed on this one, though I saw it when it popped out, the site said:
"No way, bro, come back a bit later. It's chaos up in here."
So, I let someone else nab one. Oh, and btw, the first sucker is most definitely a cheater. 1.5 seconds? BOT USER!
/end rant and please Get off my lawn.
@w00tgirl and by the way, I did sell my bag of crap amalgamation to one Jamie BootsBoots Marshall. If you're on Shirt.Woot, you know her.
Retail value of BOC: like $150
eBay sold value: 6.74 with a reasonable 7.50 shipping on a 13-14 lb box.
How come no one heard bout it? Cause I didn't post it to Woot like some lady did here a bit back and got $66 for hers, with a ludicrous $25 ship charge.
@bmw66x: what is it you expected us to hear about?
@threepiecewoot: The one with a Rock Stars autograph at the bottom * Threepiecewoot*
It makes people do the Happy Dance, all the while feeling the Woot love. It's magical!
Yes - my third one, but first since 2009!
A woot staffer posted an answer as to what to expect in the BoC (on page 13 of the replies in the community). Which reminded me - the pursuit of the elusive Blue Oyster Cult is more enjoyable than anything in the bag.
I'd never sell mine - although each one was truly full of crap as was able to wheel and deal to my advantage. My first BoC had two returned, broken Zunes. Neither was registered, so I did, then returned for repairs under warranty, got back to refurb's and sold them on eBay for $75-100 each.
My second BoC contained a Flip, in the same condition. Same deal - register, return, refurb. That one went to my daughter who still uses it.
Funniest item? A Polaroid point-n-shoot digital camera. In pink. It was a return, but worked fine, except for language being switched to Spanish (which made it very difficult switching it back to English) and the internal memory was full (5-6 shots). Nothing nasty, but just .. errr ... odd ...
@fern617: I deliberately chose not to post it to Woot so only cool people could nab it. I wasn't profit crazy like that one girl for the March BOC she sold on eBay. Jamie was happy, and so am I. :)
