Who knows, maybe they will have a confession later, especially if there are people to thank.

Oh WOW! I didn't even notice they were doing closeup fun! Teaches me to not click on the items today...

That's what made me go look. I've been catching up since I've been kidwatching and not reading much farther than the last few posts...

I know that feeling.

Well, gotta go for a bit. The 2 year old is getting... rambunctious again.

I hope so! I want details on the whole thing! how long have they been planning this, who was in on it, how'd they get the pictures, how long did it take to make all the write-ups?

Well I am not sure you would get all that, but I am curious too.

Hello again. I hadn't left for my nap yet when the c r a p came up, but still didn't get any. *sigh*

You are not alone, and I could really go for a nap.

I was driving home from work. Hubby tried but couldn't get any. Maybe next time.

Would be interesting, but it most likely will not happen.

Better luck next time.

I don't see them opening up another round of crap. 4.5k is normally the limit but I think that I do remember one in late 2k6 with 6k.

true, then getting one is kind of mixed, because the bags aren't as good if there are tons, although it has been a while since we've had any. Maybe they have been stocking up.

i suspect they will end with one final crap, or possibly monkeys... something people will want to finish it off, 'cause these sure won't sell more than a handful once those flashing lights turn off

Mr. Qubed,

point. When did woot! become a shill for B&D anyway?

I'm confused. . . . I got to the order screen and got all my stuff going, and it came back and said I had already purchased with my account and with Orcs. Now even if Orc was checking in from somewhere else he wouldn't get both of our accounts. Neither account shows a purchase for today.

Woo Hoo! I done did been Criznapped, foo! In for three.

It's Over!

And you are not showing any crap? Sounds like a partial commit on the data base records from when everything seemed to crash down around us this afternoon. Verify that you card wasn't charged.

I got the same thing... and apparently it's the case with hundreds of (angry) folks on the boards for the B of C. Never got a confirmation, couldn't order, and by the time I switched to the wife's account, it was sold out. Plus my browser was having the obligatory issues. Probably just as well anyways.

so if I email service, I want to get in line, eh?

I'd be equally happy (okay happier) if 3 craps magically appeared in the accounts.

KtCallista wrote:so if I email service, I want to get in line, eh?

Well, good luck with that... I'm cutting my losses and calling it a day, "woot-purchasing"-wise. Jes gonna chat now...

spongebrain wrote:point. When did woot! become a shill for B&D anyway?

well, apparently it's better than Netgear or some of the other crap...

KtCallista wrote:I'd be equally happy (okay happier) if 3 craps magically appeared in the accounts.

Thanks. I hope that the service team makes it happen for you and the Orc. Lots of unhappy campers in the product forums. Appears like that happened a lot on this last one.

According to what I've been reading, if you got a b o c today, that's all you could get; you couldn't get another one when it came up. Considering that if you post on the b o c product thread that it all goes into one long thread, that makes sense. Interesting.

jqubed wrote:well, apparently it's better than Netgear or some of the other crap...

I remember about 6 months ago when Woot became the official liquidator for tons of Vector stuff... at least B&D is a somewhat respectable name...

jqubed wrote:well, apparently it's better than Netgear or some of the other crap...

Oh, without a doubt. I am not a big fan of Netgear crap.

I tried again and I don't think I got anything. I got the same thing KtC got and it told me that I had already ordered on my account but nothing shows up. Oh well the hunt is what's fun. I'll try again next time. Supper is ready got to run.
EDIT: Servers seem to have held up better than usual for a bag of foo.

the stats show from all of the offerings, not each one seperately

though, from what they were saying, this does not sound like a necessarily reputable product

It is all part of the chase.

Yep.

spongebrain wrote:It is all part of the chase.

I was watching closely, even though I never even try (and I'm pretty sure I would've gotten it on the last one)

I remember that in the first quarter of 2007 they split the crap into three rounds of 1.5k each a few times. They used the same behavior for those bags as well....one item with three presentations.
