I have a 3/26 battalion of crabs coming too. So double the excitement!

I wondered if you could order more than 3 bags of cats. I got my order in at 12:20am cst checked back at 1230 and it still wasn't sold out. very rare.
I doubt woot would limit orders, they want the business.
and what is a "quality post?"

A quality post happens when you tickle the woot staff with your words.

Short answer: no. Long answer: yes, but we will hate you for it, and will probably egg your car.

A quality post is when a woot moderator thinks that you were smart/funny enough to be posted in the tracked discussion section on the main page. If you go to the main page and look to the right of the photo of the item, you'll see things like "person A gives up the product website". That is an example of a quality post.

You can try, but the Woot! system will reject it and tell you that you already purchased the item on this account.

Usually.

This time two orders got through for me, and I got double billed on each of them. The next day, the second order was deleted, but the extra charges are still there. So at the moment, I've got one $8 charge and three $8 holds on my account.

And no, no bot. Two computers with browsers.

Does anyone know how many of the Adventure CrAaps were sold during this?

For some reason I just like to know every time there is a Bowl of Cereal but I don't know how to figure it out this time. So I guess I'm asking the Woot Gods.

3113 total.
2000 right off the bat, then another 1113 were added sometime later that day (6pm cst?).

But the "complete stats" page says:

FIRST SUCKER:FrostByte
SELLOUT TIME:12:41:54 AM Central Time
WOOTER TO BLAME FOR SELLOUT:mycr0ft
ITEM QUANTITY:3073

WOOT WAGE:$13,368.95 (revenue per hour)

Part of me wants to stop reading this forum until my epic adventure arrives so I can be surprised, but the rest of me knows that's not going to happen.

Hmmm. Must have changed. I haven't checked it since the day after it got done. I know that a lot of people got double or tripled charged, so I speculate that they reduced that stat as they found and eliminated the errors.

No, the "short" version is as you said. The extended report is what I posted. I'm not sure which is correct, although it doesn't really affect us.

Maybe it's Woot's version of keeping two sets of books! Hmm....

WAIT

they added more hernia later in the day?!??!?!

Yeah. On twitter they posted " woot Learned: Carrots, while orange, are not technically a fruit." and they posted another group. It was at 2 pm CST.

Nice little bandoleer of carrots reference

Well aren't they just clever! That was nice to let people who weren't up late have a chance.

Hmm, I looked at the total around 1am CDT, and it was something slightly over 3000. And if you look at the full stats, it shows 100% of the bags were purchased in the 12MN to 1PM hour.

I looked at page 28 when I saw the carrots reference, but it still said sold out, unless I missed it.

I saw 3000ish as well around 1:30a. The claim of the sale reopening later was just some joker's idea of fun.

Hmmm. I don't know then. I could have sworn that the total was 2000 when they sold out that night. When I saw the increase and the Twitter post, I put 2 and 2 together and assumed the twitter post was a hint to go look again.

Lots of sh it went down on April 1. Got all crazy up in here.

I know I should be patient, but I want to see how much my bag weighs!

What stats are you looking at? Cause I think the ones on the I like to smell my armpits are for the earbuds or for everything put together and not just the bags. I also know that people were snagging everything else it seem on the way to the bag, such as the monkeys and lights and even the earbud's

Eh its not that important, I was just wondering if there was an actual number.

lol "I like to smell my armpits for." Fairly epic word filter there.

Uh... Did someone frag the spreadsheet? It currently only shows 4 orders worth of data. We were over 100. Can anyone do an UNDO?

OK... whoever reverted to an old version of the spreadsheet, could you cut that out? I think the pop up said swimminmike or similar. Went from many peoples info... to 4.

persianmastah, Castor27, Brking, and whammypower788 are the remaining ones... everyone else, guess you have to post back up.

If everyone is ok with it, I *think* I can fix it. I'll be sure to back up the current version first, of course.

I hope I get something woot in this epic adventure, I never have a chance in normal ones (got one 2 april fools ago too)

Nevermind, someone has already fixed it.

These days it happens every month to only 2 weeks. Is that really enough time to get those junky items to accumulate around the warehouse??? Or are they raiding the dollar store to fill those bags??

There's three days of the year that hernia is always offered, regardless of when the last Woot-Off was. (To stave off questions, it's April Fool's, Woot's birthday, which is July 12, and Christmas. Those are the only ones I ever manage to try for, since I work weeknights.) I know there was one time that there'd been a Woot-Off the previous week, and TPTB just consolidated the two threads for Bowl of Cereal reporting.

Here's a very old list of epic adventure dates, you can see they even had three within about five weeks in summer '06. No word on the quality of said craps, though, heh.

Thanks for the spreadsheet, currently it looks like I had the earliest order tracked (other than some typo above me)..

I found the epic adventure pretty quick, but when I went to place the order, it kept giving me an error. I am guessing I probably was one of the first 50 orders if not first 10.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see if order placement has any bearing on the carrots!

From what I've seen on past spreadsheets, placement(whether it be late or early) has had little or no effect or the aforementioned carrots. In this case the carrots may be affected by whether or not we picked them in the first batch or the second though?

Me and my girlfriend both got a Book of hernia due to the length of time it was up for sale. I am also excited about my glow monkey.

Glow Monkey's is good! I can't believe they are still available and not sold out yet.

Not the ones on the first page, the ones on page 28. They are still there if you want to see the time distribution.

Still no tracking email for me, track by reference isn't working either. Hopefully we will start getting the info today since threepiecewoot said they shipped yesterday.

I can't wait 'til my glowing monkey arrives. My wife and cat, however...Much more reticent.

if they truly shipped yesterday then I will probably get mine before any info at all shows up on FedEx. That's what usually seems to happen with my woots.

Thanks!

What constitutes "shipped" exactly? 1. Put in the box, 2. printed a label, 3. gave to FedEx?

My Track By Reference still shows nothing, not even shipment information. I've always gotten the shipment information the next morning after the label is printed...

When you post your info to the spreadsheet, relink the spreadsheet so others can find it:

I got the March 26th epic adventure as well. No reference # was used for that one at all. We got the tracking # and still couldn't track by reference.

I just received three different tracking numbers for the Philips Sound Machines I ordered. If they actually send me nine of them, I'll wire them all together for 18-Speaker Surround!

No info on my Epic Adventure yet, not even tracking by reference. Tom Petty continues to be correct on this matter.
