You would think with $157,000 woot made in 5 minutes they would offer more Baggie of Cthulhu.
One of these days I might just get through to buy one.

they made about $24k (assuming you count the $5 for shipping for all craps)... the Woot wage is the equivalent hourly pay that would yield the same amount (since the craps never last long, the woot wage is usually astronomical).

tell me about it.. been watching from the beginning. didn't sleep at all last night. I didn't miss the Baggie of Cthulhu but I couldn't get past the "I want one" button. pretty wack.

YEAH!! I finally got one!! My co-worker told me it was up, and I got it! Unfortunately for her, she didn't
All this time I HAVE A Beautiful Ocean Cabana!! Can't wait to see what I get! Will let ya'll know!

They say ask and you shall receive. So woot, can I get one of those battery powered water guns that sold out so quickly? I'm sure you can dig one up somewhere. Please?

Sweet - got in late and used my coupon code. $3 total. Bring on the crapple!

No - actually just like always : click - screen freeze - time out - crash!!

Three years later, and thousands of refreshes over the last three days, and I finally have my first Bucket of Carp! Thanks, woot! Here's hoping for one of those sexy camping mats. It'll come in handy while rafting the Canyon over Labor Day >.>

I can't believe it but.. I got one =)

paypal worked way faster for me

Happened to me the last Baggie of Cthulhu. And, I live right next to Comcast...I almost went over there and throttled someone. You know, like they do my bandwidth, daily.

My first Baggie of Cthulhu ever! Woot!

Long time wooter, first BOCer! Thanks woot!

The first? 7/18/05

One crap every 5 years is pretty good right?

Just found out the fiance got a crap too.

We have determined that this is a sign Woot! wishes to be honored at our wedding. We have no choice but to comply. Therefore, all our guests will be receiving Random Craps (in brown paper bags and all).

YEA! Baggie of Cthulhu for my birthday! Could be the best or worst gift I get this year, but either way. I'm excited.

Don't know what WOOT! did but I love it, sitting in stopped traffic on the interstate, and bought a Basket O' Carrots... Guess I found something else DROID DOES!!!!

Just missed it... Got all the way through the buy screen to have "an un handled line error" Congrats to all who got it tho. The anticipation is the best part!

I'm spoiled.

I went 4/4 winning the bag.

Now I've gone 3/3 not winning the bag.

Not bitter, just wondering what I'm doing wrong.

wonder if I should write a looping test case in selenium that does it for me.

to all fellow wooters who managed to get a Baggie of Cthulhu. we have officially made history getting "The First Amazonian Baggie of Cthulhu"
i would like to thank the woot gods...tear

YAY!!! After 2 years of wooting and waiting I finally got my very own Bundle Of Chorizo.

It's gonna be like Christmas ... except that at least you know when you're going to be able to open Santa's stuff. **sigh**

WAHOO!!! I didn't think my order went through because it switched back to the main screen.

Just checked my account to be sure and there it is! My order for Random Crap!

YAY!!!!

Seems like those that already have gotten one should be locked out until those of us that haven't do. I don't use gallivanting alpacas or any other tech help so it seems like I am doomed...

Not everyone uses tricks and cheats. All I ever have open is Woot.com and I work the F5. Of course, I almost always lose the Baggie of Cthulhu...this is my second one, the last one I managed to get was a year and a half ago. Keep trying!

Finally got one - WOOT!!!!

Anybody know what to feed my Box of Chupacabra when it arrives?

That makes 2!

Wow, haven't got a non-gimmick Baggie of Cthulhu in 3 years (did snag the Christmas 2009 one though). Nice to get one again.

first time trying for the buggle of crapadopolis

and I got all the way to the gold box... and i thought i didnt get it... but I just got the order confirmation... YAAAAAAY!!!

Why didn't you get any sleep?? It's always between 3pm-8pm EST

Argh...was in a meeting with the boss and missed it!

Ah well, they only sold 3k, so there's a possibility they'll put up another later, I suppose. They usually go 5K on these.

Anyone else keep hoping if they leave the sale page that says "this sale is sold out" open, and keep entering their password over and over that maybe some gremlin will sneak the sale through?

I really wish it hadn't of crapped out on me. Server timed out while the order was going through.

I've gotten 15 mins of sleep in three days, and it's over now. But I feel as though I've accomplished something here.

Thanks Woot! for giving me something to get excited about

I heard a coworkers wootalyzer alarm go off and managed to get one.

WOOT!!! Got my Baggie of Cthulhu! I can't wait!!!

So we now pay tax and get out of date Kindles pushed on us but not better servers. Well at least the owners of Woot got some benefit out of the Amazon buyout.

After a truly craptacular week, this makes it all better. Just scored my 4th Baggie of Cthulhu

Well I don't what happened but my first try failed as apparently there was something missing. So I had to fill it back out and it said it failed again. So I tried again and it went through and I got one, three, uhhh, an Amazonian bag.

You want 1

Random Crap
You ordered 3 Random Crap.
which each cost $3.00
for a subtotal of $3.00
plus shipping + $5.00
minus discount - $5.00
for a total of $3.00

I think the patience of using my coupon paid off in this. Every page loaded with no lag or delay and my confirmation email came through as quick as the page said my order was in. Been smiled upon by Woot today I guess.

wow... I think we all need proof of this :D, a screen shot or something cause that takes ALOT of "cajones" to pull! And if it did go through, you sir(or ma'am) just pulled the most EPICS of Baggie of Cthulhu bought ever!

Famous B of C excuses:

"It was not random it was radon.
I got carped on by radon."

"I think those internet tubes were misaligned again."

"Why did you come to Carpablanca?...
for the Carp......
there is no carp in Carpablanca!...
I was misinformed...."

Yes Virginia there is no Carp in Christmas.

apologies to Bogie

Be they zombie or human
