What is the best or worst thing you have ever received in a Woot Bag-O-Crap?
I have been waiting for the B-O-C to come up during the woot off. What are some of the entertaining, valuable, stupidest, etc items you have gotten in your bags?

I received three 2010 "Would you rather?" calendars with one month left in 2010. The only good use for those are either fire kindling or scrap paper.
If you read some of the 'jokes' then you would understand.
The best that I've received was a shocker cell phone. When you press a button, it gave the person quite a shock. Ironically, that was in my April Fools BOC. It is broken now, but while it worked, it was quite a fun time.
Just a note that said "Psych!"
The coolest was a screaming monkey, the weirdest was a thermos with a straw that only went half way down.
I've always wondered about what's in a BOC. Anyone get actual crap?
@loubriccant: really?!?
I remember, a while back, someone got 3 BOCs and received, something like, 7 types of knives/axes between the 3 bags. I may be exaggerating or delirious.
Some (5) Disney Cinderella camcorder software things
anyone else get a bunch of live puppies in their BOC? just me?
I got crap a couple of times and it was great -
about 12 cracked and busted jewel cases
a placemat for a Vermont restaurant
a red marble sample tile
Best - Probably the universal remote
Worst - Non-functioning pod speaker
Funniest - 8 of some Disney item that worked with a camcorder or something, I forget the name but it made a great gag gift for friends.
@theoneill555: This made me LOL! Now, I can go off to see my clients, knowing I don't need to wait for this!
hm, as it is a bag of crap I am assuming best is crappiest, right?
In that case best was probably the back pack with a broken zipper that had a terribly dirty sock inside.
The flush light was pretty crappy too.
Best: Cyber Acoustics Speakers
Worst: Musical Winnie the Pooh Toothbrush Holder
rlapid2112: Yes, and a love doll with a hole (no, not that one) and no patch kit!
@loubriccant: So far, this question and the resulting answers have been the most entertaining part of my morning.
Big grins & thanks for answering, all of you!!!
Best: Satellite Radio Boom Box
Worst: Broken Wooden Box
I will let you know if i ever get one.
@rlapid2112: We are only here for your amusement. Do you require another cocktail?
Best: Several broken Sansa MP3 Players that I fixed, a GPS that worked perfectly and a new Timex Ironman Watch.
Worst: Flush Light, Dennis Miller Talking Doll, a 3D Camera, and some Mysterious Plastic Pieces (4 white, 1 black).
@loubriccant: i wish. just finished coffee, gotta go to a drug clinic now...
I got a rock.
Once a great box came that had a great video/baby monitor (this was the gem as we did have a new baby), and a Pirates of the Caribbean mp3/game unit with a case, and maybe some other decent thing. The other 2x it come with...you know.
@apfhrem: I also received one with alot of Pirates of the Caribbean video discs that were only supposed to work with a certain Disney player.
I heard that a guy here at work got a bag of douche. Douche? Really? What a bag!
I couldn't buy!!!
best: 2x screaming monkeys with flame capes (in the BOC that shipping was delayed due to ice)
worst: cheap beaded purse and/or the breast pump. My mom liked the purse (it reminded her of one she had as a little girl) so I gave it to her. Mom volunteers at a couple of crisis pregnancy centers so I sent the pump with her as a donation.
eta: We'll see in a few weeks if my best or worst changes. I successfully wooted today's BOC.
Best: A broken 120gb media player with a 4.3 inch screen. The power supply was broken; everything else worked fine. Also one of those pens that does math for you when you write and stuff. Litescribe pens?
Worst: Twelve sets of cords. Literally, just cords. None of them connected to anything, nor were the connectors anything I've ever seen before. They had spanish written on each cord.
With at least 15 failed attempts over the last 5 years, I have only managed to score 1 and it wasn't too bad.
I got a Wowee Rovio (a remote control webcam and mic on wheels) with a note saying "bad antenna" and a AC adapter that liked to smoke when plugged in.
After getting a RadioShack AC adapter, the little guy worked great with the exception of him not being able to find his docking station like he should.
I wouldn't mind parting with it if someone could actually use a Rovio.
Only crap I ever got was when they had those chicken wing sarcophagi (sarcophaguses?) - they sent me just the bottom half of one. No top, it was just a plastic disc with a small raised lip. It also came with a Mr. T record with an ancient looking K/Mart sticker on it, and a broken digital watch.
The bag was okay, though - my son still uses it today for a backpack every once in awhile.
63 satellite antennae and 71 sticky dashboard mounts for the XM roady XT. Yes, all in the same box...
Returned, ripped box breast pump. There may have been a hair on it too.
@gatzby: OT, do you know what is going on with the voting issue?
@gatzby: Did you swallow before you found out or are you just assuming?
@gatzby: in the voice of that lady on the Zoosk commercial
nassssteeeeee

i'd take that item back to work and switch it out with some other crappy stuff. no BOCs at your office? no problem
@gatzby: at least mine was still NIB
@gatzby: Didn't you also receive one shoe?
I don't recall anything horrible. The funniest was 2 cases of army men action figures followed by another case or two a month later in another BOC. My co-workers just couldn't grasp where they were coming from but they willing took them off my hands. Brothers of Arms, if I recall correctly.
@skippykj: I can't remember if there was a hair, or I just imagined it to make the situation worse. I figured full disclosure was important.
@thunderthighs: I think so. And about 100 Brothers in Arms figures.
@w00tgurl: I was remote at the time. I actually had to smuggle it out to the dumpster before the move to Seattle, because I did not want to explain it to anybody.
Of course, it was probably creepy to anyone that I brought over before that. There may be a reason I'm single.
@gatzby: lies.
@threepiecewoot: Which part? I guess there may have only been about 80 figures. The pump, however, is 100% true. Jerk.
@gatzby: I remember 3P sending a pallet of those army dudes to one BOC guy. He lined them up all over the reception desk at his place of work. Great picture. Probably too hard to dig up though. Perhaps @threepiecewoot knows where it is.
@thunderthighs: so is that who packs the BOCs? @threepiecewoot? hmmm...
do people send you guys pics (woot directly) of their BOC goodies?
@w00tgurl: Threepiece is, indeed, our Crapmaster General, among other things. We have had people send pictures, but more often they get posted in the discussion thread for the sale.
We're always up for hearing how woots are being used and, if cool enough, we're keen to do blog posts on that sort of thing.
@threepiecewoot: OMG!
"28 boxes of "Brothers in Arm" action figures (48 per box)."
@threepiecewoot: that is the most awesome sight!
@threepiecewoot: Somehow, I knew you would know where to find it! I love that one still.
Best thing: 2 sets of cedar grill planks.
Worst thing: shattered glass aquaglobe in a box.
I want to buy a BOC. :(
