For my first Blogging Old CEO

1 Tootsie Pop charm
10 Nike armbands
1 Targus memory card case
1 Compaq usb notebook fan

My three bloated old cadavers are sitting at the local post office decomposing, delivery tomorrow. Should have been here today but it took FedEx 29 hours to get the last 150 miles from Brooklyn Park. Maybe they really do use snails?

Yep, except that's the starter kit- I just got 2 additional monsters...I'd have to buy that in order to use it....which I don't see that happening!

Want to trade the pocket PC for a sweet guitar kit? Used just once to prove that current owner doesn't know how to play guitar...=)

I'm so in love with it that nothing can take us apart!

I have a really sweet Memory Card Case that I can trade for your kit plus some money ;)

Also: I also don't know how to play guitar

My Blogging Old CEO arrived and delivered:

10 nano ipod armband thingies
1 Tootsie Roll pop hinged box
1 targus memory card holder
1 Virtual Reality Sound Labs Stereo Headphone (VRDH200) with free VR3 ear buds

Yeah, reminds me a lot of those stupid garbage pail kids we use to collect in the 80s...

i got c.rap ;/ but hey thats what i ordered ;p

10xnike ipod nano armbands
1xmemory card case
1xnvidia 7900GS (broken, shows artifacts all over screen)
1xbudweiser bottle open (broken)

I totally got my Blogging Old CEO today!

1x Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-in-One Printer
1x Verizon Bluetooth (I think)
1x Loose Screw (looks like one you use on a hard drive mount)
1x Targus Digital Memory Card Case
1x Birthday Card

I'm very pleased! I already have two printers so the Kodak is going on Ebay.

FYI, I purchased 1x Blogging Old CEO and emailed to ask them to change it to 3 because the "I want 3" button wasn't working for me.

Happy Birthday Woot!

I'm jealous. And I totally have a right to be carp envious.

*giggles*, my post was a bit wordy, which might have been acceptable had I been the first one to get the guitar, but then, I couldn't help it...it was exciting! ;)

I ordered 1x carp, because the page never loaded for three.

She said I got

Cheap Memory Card case (no memory card)
Spotlight (she said its "just a really nice flashlight")

Apparently it was a very large box, that weighed about 4 pounds... Talk about a sham for size!! When she said "its really big" i was excited, then just 2 small things inside. weird...

I don't care what i got, just don't sham me with a huge box and 2 tiny things inside. I feel as though this was done on purpose to get my hopes up.

At least ~80 people out of 5886 are happy. Thats 1.3%

Well, significantly less than 5886, since 72% bought three, but I won't pick at the math, I'm satisfied with my cr@p.

Got my carp today two days before the delivery date. My best Blogging Old CEO to date for sure!!

X12 Bags of Sweet Texas Gale Force Wind Air (Hurricane Edition)
X3 Black and Decker Power Packs
X1 Netgear Wireless N Router (respiffied)
X1 VR3 Stero Headphones and Earbuuds
X1 Targus Memory Card Case

I consider it a great Haul!!! I was really hoping for the Power Packs

Thanks Woot!!!!!!!!

Hah, while I'm sure I'd look cool sitting around playing a guitar, I'd rather have the money. Do you want it?

One Targus memory card case.
One Voice Buddy Interactive Game Control v.3.0 sofware.

1x targus APD10US mobile 70 universal auto/air adapter

Nothing I need, but this was great fun.

Let's have a bidding war. I am interested in the guitar too. What should the bidding start at?

I'm loving this whole thread so much I can stop reading although I've already received my loot! I'm not seeing anything new being added to people's packages, but again and again I refresh my screen to see what else people got!

I received my Blogging Old CEO x3 today

1 x tootsie roll pop charm
4 x X-box live wireless head sets
1 x memory card case
1x Oregon Scientific weather phone with non-functioning handset.

Ordered carp - received carp
Hope to have better luck next time.

They all seem to be in fine shape, my mailman likes me.

I'm 28 and I still have my garbage pail kids! :-P

Okay, I have a dumb question. What's the difference between ordering 3 and 1 Blogging Old CEO? Do you really get more stuff if you order 3 vs 1? Should I be expecting 3 packages? I ordered 3 and got one package with 4 items in it:

1 x memory card holder
1 x porcelain hinged box
1 x Logitech Xbox headset
1 x Oregon Scientific phone/weather station

I definitelly got my money's worth so I'm not complaining, I'm just curious if ordering 3 did me any good...

As I arrived home today, I found a rather large box sticking out of the deck box we have on our front porch for packages. Woohoo, Martinsburg has finally set my Basket of Cats free! I dragged in a somewhat heavy, unlabelled box measuring 44"x19"x7", only slightly squished. Within the box were:



Zero plastic compartments of sequestered Woot-gas ($0.00)

One Targus DMC111 Memory Card Case, like everyone else ($12.81 on Amazon.com)

One 3 oz Bottle of Jordache imitation ANAIS ANAIS by CACHAREL perfume ($8.99 on EBay)

One April Fools Black & Decker Pocket Power Backup Battery Pack #CP120B ($10.99 on Buy.com)

One Esteban Master Class Black Cutaway Guitar Package, which includes
.....Cutaway acoustic/electric steel string guitar with case. One damaged string, but there were a set of spares, the replacement works
.....Complete 5-DVD Instuctional set, cases cracked but disks intact
.....Poster size chord chart, polishing cloth, picks, straps, spare strings
.....10 watt Guitar amplifier, no sound from the speaker, but headphone jack works
..........(easily repaired - I took the box apart, and found that one of the wires to the speaker had fallen off. I put it back on, and the amp works perfectly)
.....Signal cable to go from guitar to amp, with damaged connector - can be easily repaired or replaced
.....Masking taped labelled "Damaged" holding the cable to the box the amp was in - not sure if they meant the cable or the amp
Amazon.com lists this exact kit as selling for $139.99 as a "Blem", and $699.99 at full price.

A small piece of crinkly clear plastic, randomly stuffed in the box.

Ginger the cat did not come in this Basket Of Cats. She came in a rather different basket.

I can use the Memory Card Case and the B&D Power Brick. My wife saw the bottle of perfume and instantly said that it was going to the Goodwill Store.
Not sure about the guitar kit. If someone has a good offer for a trade, I might be interested.

All in all, a theoretical value of $172.78, and the anticipation was a lot of fun. Can't wait for the next chance!

but does he have his muscles? Though im the right age for those things, I never collected them

Check the description of the Bandolier of Carrots - you ordered one bag with three cräps, not three bags of cräp. The memory card case is the bag, and the other things are your three cräps.

I think the cat is more suprised and excited than you are...She/he is like "is it Christmas already?" You win for most excited kitty. I was going to put my kitty and doggie in my picture of my stuff, but I was so excited, i didn't have time to wait for them to come over and investigate!

So for those of you who only got 1 ordered, you likely only got one carp? That makes more sense. Thanks!

paulbram wrote:So for those of you who only got 1 ordered, you likely only got one carp? That makes more sense. Thanks!

That's right, if you only order one cräp, you should get one bag (the memory card case for this go-around), and one other hopefully not-too-crappy item. It seems that Woot! counts multiples of the same item as one thing. This time many got three of the B&D Power Bricks, counting as one item.

Sometimes, Woot! gets generous, and folks get more than they ordered. Some lucky folks who order three get dozens of items, some that order one get several. There do seem to be the occasional folks that get shorted. At least you should get a container of some sort, and as many craps as you ordered.

First bags o carp for me...got some common stuff in mine

- 1 x Targus Memory Card Case
- 1 x Porcelain Wrigley's Gum Decoration
- 1 x Vector Rechargeable Lantern (lantern works but charging light turns on only when light is also on, won't charge when lantern is off, doesn't work off the power adapter, suggestions?)
- 4 x Logitech Wireless Headset for Xbox

Can't wait for next Blogging Old CEO day!

1x Loose Screw (looks like one you use on a hard drive mount)

1x Birthday Card

I'm very pleased! I already have two printers so the Kodak is going on Ebay.

FYI, I purchased 1x Blogging Old CEO and emailed to ask them to change it to 3 because the "I want 3" button wasn't working for me.

Happy Birthday Woot!

Ha Ha, now I don't have to take pics of my carp, you got my sister Blogging Old CEO, except you got a screw, lucky. The headset it carp, just paired it to my new phone and I could barely hear my buddy. As for the card, it's going in a box with some monkeys and I will totally use the card case, the printer I am undecided on, I have a large format photo printer that I cringe when I print papers off of because ink is expensive, I also have a scanner I got from woot, hmmmmmm.

Wow -- a very interesting shipment.

1 Memory card case

1 tube of Acne Cream

1 broken vaporizing humidifier

zero bags of Texas air.

shipment arrived in the box for the humidifier.

all told, pretty amusing but it seems a bit light for 3 BOCs compared to the other posts. I just imagine woot using the Blogging Old CEO birthday sale as a fun opportunity to shovel out the accumulated returns of broken equipment they have received along with the treats sprinkled in the mix.

what a fun diversion! let's do it again soon.

Yeah, when I put it up on ebay I noticed that the automatic ebay information said it had a wireless interface... that almost tempted me to keep the thing (it would solve a lot of our printing woahs in our multiple laptop family). But it is a bluetooth solution that requires additional equipment... so it's staying on ebay.

Plus, I've been an HP Printer man for years now... always seemed to be the most economical on ink and pretty decent quality.

Today I received:

1 x Kodak EasyShare V1003 10.0MP Digital Camera (respiffied)
1 x Pinnacle PCTV To Go HD Wireless (respiffied - missing IR blaster and composite cables)
3 x Black & Decker Pocket Power Backup Battery Pack
1 x Targus Memory Card Holder

the carp has arrived, two days early.

in it:
- xbox headset (will need to mod or sell)
- targus memory card holder (know someone who might be able to use it)
- oregon scientific weather phone (actually kinda cool)
and i think this is the first i've seen posted -- a White Breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis) Songbird Collection PHB. Will post a pic soon.

Looks like it's on Amazon for $140. I'm willing to part with it for $100. Plus shipping, of course. Unless you can offer a tempting trade. Like a Q1 that a couple of people got...

OK...

Here is what my wify got :-)



Here is my carp :-) - yep both of us were able to get in for x3 carp!!!



And, yes as you might have noticed...a SURPRISE note...yep...its a special one!!! look........................













































Oh Oh... There is no WOOT logo on the note... Hoped that note was actually a note about BIIIIIIIIIG TV like the other fellow got :-)

Anyway...we are happy for what we got as first time crappers!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday WOOT!!!

You have a great attitude.

Was the humidifier beyond repair/use?
