1 Lexmark wireless printer, apparently complete with cables (!) and manual. Looks new, but it could be a reefurb.

1 Belkin XM Radio case.

1 Slinky.


I have mixed emotions, as this appears to be a 'Jackpot' for this Boggy Old Creature, but all I need to do to have a working printer is put the ink cartridges I already have in the old Canon printer I already have. I'm not completely sure I want this, so anyone have a trade to offer? Anyway, thanks, Woot.

Seems to me your Boggy Old Creature is missing one Carp.

My SOC arrived today, the poor mailman looked pissed carrying it to my door. I said to him "they didn't make it too easy on you did they?" he grunted and said "nope."






Heres a link to the previous wooting of the car seat.

Total Contents:

My Scaffolding showed up about 3 days before FedEx said it would. Hang in there guys/gals.

My scaffolding showed up yesterday. FedEx had the box at 3.5lbs.

The contents:
1 Red Bucket
1 Fact or scaffolding Music Edition Day by Day Calendar
1 Package of 2 Calculators
One Box containing 6 Burpmaster pens. (Press the button on the side of the pen, and it plays one of 3 burping sounds.)

Pictures can be found here: http://www.twitpic.com/user/thesuss

My 14.3 x 10.5 x 8.7, 3.5 lb Big Orange Crane showed up today, 2 days ahead of schedule. Amazing, since it only got to Leetsdale, PA yesterday around 6pm.


2 Arouzer stress balls
2 2010 Fact or Poop Desktop Calendars (still wrapped in plastic inside, not broken like some reported)
2 PHD Mechanical pencils
1 Belkin XM radio zipper case
1 Captain Kirk bobblehead


AND.....!!!!!








0 letters.

my scaffolding has finally reached its destination post office but the update said the following:

Arrived at local Post Office - Allow one to two additional days for delivery

my question is: how does it take an additional 1-2 days in a small town of no more then about 500 people? Unfortunately I dont live there and have someone hold my package for me so I'll have to wait to make the drive to pick it up until it says delivered.

hip hip horray for smartpost!

Today's scaffolding, brought to you by the letters B, O and C, is:

2 x mechanical pencils
6 x Fartmaster talking pens
1 x Texas tissue
1 x Cap'n Kirk Star Trek Quog
1 x Belkin XM Express zipper case

Nutz, scaffolded again!

Automated messages can't tell wether or not you are in a small town. The computer is programmed to say it, even if only to cover their rears if they wish to be lazy (or if the Boggy Old Creature needs a break from traveling so far or long).

fedex tracking said the same thing just now.. and on usps.com it shows it as being out for delivery already.. so you might want to track it on usps.com instead at this point..

Thanks for the tip. I diddnt know you could move over to usps and track it there. It actually does say out for delivery... A day early too. I guess I'll have to make the hour drive to pick my scaffolding up tomorrow night

Anybody in Columbus OH, wanna hit Hound Dogs for a pitcher and pizza and unbox a couple of these on the 14th?

Other than that there can be no possible way.

Maybe the calculator works in base 14?

Thank you Woot Gods! My 7th Boggy Old Creature was far and away my best. My 6.2 lbs, 18"x12"x12" bundle of joy arrived a day early:

1 Omnitech 4.3" GPS (refurb, but sealed in the box)
1 5th Generation Video iPod 30 GB (refurb, but sealed in the box)
1 Altec Lansing 360 degree MP3 speaker system (package is beat up, but speaker seems fine)
2 Belkin XM Radio cases (the iPod should fit into one nicely)
1 American Tourister Camera bag
1 G.E. 5.8 ghz satellite phone (has base unit and a/c plug, but pretty useless without the base phone I'm afraid)
2 Sanford PhD Mechanical pencils
10 packages of 4 Tens pads from Medisana, for use with a back pain mediation system (which I don't have)
1 random set of ear buds (might have fallen out of the Altec Lansing speaker system)-edit-nope, they have a "Sansa" label on them.
9 bags of glorious Texas air!

So then, collections of scaffolding similar to this one are like coal?

That is fantastic! I hope my 7.4lb box is similar!

Lucky you! lol Mine just arrived at the post office, but I work 40 minutes away, and don't get out until after 5. I guess I'll just wait for it to be delivered tomorrow.

anyone ever tried to sell one of these first years car seats? looks as though I may get a pretty penny out of it if I decide to sell it. I am only 22 years old and single after all.

First - check manufacturer web sites for any recalls. Seems like a lot with car seats and it's kind of a big deal. Then I'd suggest Craig's list. I think someone who could see the thing would be more likely to purchase that ordering a non-new car seat.

i already thought of that too and checked their website.. they have a few recalls, but none for car seats.. so no worries there

Goddamnit...

At USPS facility; ATHENS, OH; Tendered to USPS for delivery - Allow one to two additional days for delivery

FedEx tracking is just a blatant tease now. I've never wanted a c-rap this bad in my life

Congratulations on jinxing yourself, your child is due in approximately 9 months. Good luck!

Take your tracking # and now paste it into USPS.com since FedEx will no longer provide further info.

I just got trolled By FedEx. My Boggy Old Creature is in the adjacent state where SmartPost normally tenders the package to the Postal Service and they delay it from 1/13 to 1/15.

FedEx = Trolls.

check usps.com site now.. fedex is useless once it's been passed off.. it might be out for delivery like mine and someone a few posts before yours was

No luck... or rather no luck yet. Thanks for pointing out I could do that though, I wouldn't have thought to do it.

I may swing by the Post Office this afternoon to see if I can pick it up.

No pregnant friends or relatives? You could regift it at a baby shower or something.

Hmm, I'm sort of torn as we have a baby on the way I think the kids.woot stuff is great.

However I think it would be better if there where a Woot Boggy Old Creature and a seperate Kids.Woot Boggy Old Creature.

Ha.. thanks, I needed the laugh.

PM me if anyone has an extra set of woot lights or an XM case they'd send me for shipping.

I'll trade an XM case for Spock. (Like I need a toy... right.)

I agree! I mean I would've been stoked to get most any of the kids.woot stuff

(I didn't, but if someone want's a Kirk Bobblehead or something I'm open to trading - ah heck I just like to swap scaffolding with others, I'd be stoked to trade for some sham-eze clothes or whatever they are called too! - also my hubby is just going to toss the platronics bluetooth thing since it has no charger, so if someone wants to play with that, I bet it'll fit in an envelope easy enough.)

I'm happy to say that after 3+ years of trying, I finally scored my first Barge of Cannibals.

9.4 lbs according to FedEx

1 HP AC adapter (laptop or printer?)
1 iPod USB cable (a lovely dirty white color)
2 PhD Pencils (fat and sassy)
11 Bags of Texas Air (robust and unpopped)
1 XM Express Bag (stinky)
1 RCA Jet MP3 Player (with rma note and totally unusably borked)
1 Invisio G5 (does not hold charge)
1 baggie of Tens Pads (sticky and square)
1 GFX 35mm Camera (old school)

1 Vtech Phone Set including 1 base, 4 chargers, 5 handsets, wall mount, all necessary cords and instructions haphazardly thrown into the original box. (Despite everything being tossed into the box, the base works and all handsets appear to hold a charge and function properly.)

That's the first complete phone set I've seen so far. Woot must love me!

It's been fun. Thanks Woot!
