Woooot off tonight!

Hit the buy it button, but server crapped out. So no telling what happened. Prolly didn't go through.
 
Uh, can someone explain the bag of crap to me please? I saw woot.com for the first time when I bought the Zune special ... is a Bag of Crap extra special or what?
 
I placed my order but got the sold out error and now the servers are down. But why would the servers be down after the BOC sold out?

Basically, you can get anything in a bag of crap. It's a gamble. Usually you get something completely useless (a spatula comes to mind). Last bag of crap, 4 people got HD TVs.
 
Got in on it right away... went real fast on the first screen, chose I want three, came right back, hit next for the confirm page - also fast, went on to the processing screen nice and responsive and fast to that point. No idea if my order actually went through... Guess I'll see later.

They're only a $1 a piece (you can get up to 3) + $5 shipping. They can pretty much contain anything. Someone received a TV before, a PS3, a Wii, etc. Others, just some dime store knick knacks. Its just some good fun and to play your chances of getting something really good.

At least the stuff in a BOC is always worth more then you payed for it.

Yup - the actual bag is usually worth at least the 8 bucks you spent. Although I'm not sure what I'm going to do with yet another one. Maybe I'll get the controller for my robot this time.
 
I missed this whole Woot-Off, to be honest, but I STILL almost caught a BOC. I happened to see the Woot item on my iGoogle page. Got all the way to the order screen and was going to press the big button but I had to change my address. :( Bummer.
 
Saw an account page and boc wasn't listed, but now servers are down.....think this'll be the third time it's happened that server lag causes me to miss out on it.
 
Yep, missed it. You'd think they could get a functioning server so you don't repeatedly get screwed when their servers decide to bite it each woot.

you suck...
 
i didnt sleep last night, went to take a pee, came back, and they were sold out
 
I don't think that the woot off is over. It is just fubared after the server reset after the crash and the next 2 items are: Seiko SUJ055 Ladies Bracelet Style Stainless Steel and Goldtone Watch and then: Hyundai 19.2volt Cordless Drill with 2 Batteries
 
It doesn't usually end with the crap. I guess they ran out of places to store the bags of money they made from the t-shirts and screaming monkeys.
 
I was just saying that the last few ended with a stupid t-shirt or worthless screaming monkey that eveyone just had to buy.
 
That was the shortest woot off ever at 17 hours 42 minutes 16 seconds. That was more like a half woot off it was so short. As far as I know no woot off has ever gone shorter then 24 hours. Maybe it will continue after midnight but I doubt it.
 
Got my first BOC! What kind of random crap does Woot have in store for me? Hopefully something worth about $8 :D
 
Yeah, overall I give that wootoff a 3 out of ten woots.

There were VERY few good items, and the webpage glitched more often than not.

The Zune was a good deal, the TiVo, the portable charger gets a 'meh', and the Everglide headphones. Everything else either had luke warm ratings/reviews or was just plain GARBAGE.

Hell, alot of the things that are in the blog never showed as selling on the screen for me. They only showed as "SOLD OUT."
 
too much Vector and Ultrex shit, need more gadgets not household appliances or 35 different spotlights
 
You missed the point of the TiVo, it was free after rebate. If it would work in my area (Time/Warner service by the name of Cox) I'd have gotten it. With the prices of HDDs that could of been one wicket box.
