Well it seems i got the same as everyone else. Blah it is my first woot off and i am not really as much disappointed in what i got but that everyone got the same thing. I don't plan on buying another Bag of Coal until i start seeing the funny random crap that used to come. i recieved

1 x Sequined Bag
1 x Digital Ornament
2 x Clip thing from Tool Magic
2 x Texas air
1 x GPS charger.

My Bag of Coal arrived in Des Moines today. This is #4 for me. Sounds like it's pretty standard, but I have to say it's the best one I've received to date:

2 Leak Frogs
1 Sony e-Reader cover
1 Picture Time photo ornament (red)
1 Digital Photo Frame Keychain (blue)
1 wonderfully hideous pink sparkly purse

I can use/gift pretty much all of it.

Thanks, Woot!

1 heinously ugly black purse
1 Spectra Digital Photo Frame Keychain
1 Mobi Universal AC Adapter for GPS Chargers
2 of those little LED lights

My Bag of Coal really lived up to its name but arguably provided me $8 worth of entertainment.

I got the SAME exact thing. First Bundle of Coats experience. The anticipation was worth the $8...i guess

1.1 lbs, 7X7X7

White Purse
2 tech lights
GPS Charger
Photo Keychain

I received my crap yesterday and found...

2x Texas air
1x Hideous black beaded purse
1x Loose psychedelic bead (from the aforementioned purse)
2x Tool Majic clip on LED light with detachable screw driver and pen (for tightening tiny screws and writing tiny notes)
1x AC adapter for GPS car charger

So, I thought all was over until I looked in my purse (sounds weird saying that...my very first purse!)

There were two pieces of paper AND...



















...AND...



















...I FOUND...



















2x Pieces of crinkled up tissue paper.

Thanks woot! for the excitement. I'm hoping for more variety next time.

Leakfrogs

Purse that looks like someone skinned Snuffalufagus at a drag show.

Meh...not the worst.

I thought Snuffalufagus too! Especially 'cause my purse is brown. Or maybe a Snuffalufagus - Chewbacca - tribble baby. Otherwise same haul.

I read through 13 pages of this forum rather quickly, so I may have missed this if someone else posted it.

The little light/pen geeky things also have mini-screwdrivers on the other side...Woot!


..and did you notice they look a lot like Wall-E?

No? Just me, eh?

johnfalstaff wrote:If the quality of the crap bags continues to degenerate, I wonder if WOOT will eventually send actual excrement. A posting two years from now might go like this:

My Bohemian Ostrich Claw arrived today: 4.5 pounds of cattle dung. I have no use for it, but my wife is going to use it in the garden to plant tulips.

Thanks a load, WOOT!

One w00t in almost four years. You won't be missed, buh-bye.

So my wife came upstairs, and I asked her if she thought our niece would like the black purse.

"This is an evening bag," she told me.

I told her that I knew that, but I thought it looked tacky.

"But by all means, it's yours if you want it."

"It actually would look fine with a black dress."

She started taking it out of the sealed bag to get a better look...

"If you are going to take it, just do me one favor."

"What's that?"

"Just open it up, and make sure there's nothing inside."

"There's a letter inside!"

"Tissue paper, right?"

"Yes - howdja know?"

"Someone just posted that."


Har har.

If anybody is interested, I would gladly trade my 2 leak frogs for 2 of the ornaments that hold digital pictures. I got the standard stuff too, but my daughter is going to love this stuff. Send me a message if interested.

I know pretty much what I'm going to get but I’ve been waiting patiently. I checked my tracking number this morning and it said out for delivery. I waited and waited, I watched the mail man pull up put the mail in my box and speed of in less than 15 seconds. I just checked the tracking info again and it says notice left. welcome the holidays. They didn't even attempt to delivery or leave a notice. Now it looks like I have to go to the post office and haggle over my delivery since I don't have a notice. This Bundle of Coats is killing me and I've been pretty patient.I just wish right now that Fedex delivered to my door instead of relying on Smartpost.

I got standard crap:

1 pair leakfrogs
1 snowman photo ornament
1 globe photo ornament
1 ebook reader cover
1 fuzzy bag
0 texas air

Got my 1st Bundle of Coats today! Woohoo! I'm not going to complain at all. Although I don't have much use for any of the stuff, I'm still happy with what I received. Here's my haul:

1 sequin purse
1 Universal Sun Visor Mount for GPS
1 Digital Photo Frame Keychain
8 T1 Series Tech lights

jone0807 wrote:For those folks who think the lights don't work... you did pull out the plastic bit that allows the battery to connect? I suppose this question is equal to the IT employees asking "is it plugged in?"

Oops ... no, I hadn't ... they work! Thank you!!

Ya' puts in on yo hat.

Bundle of Coats came today.

I got 4 of the little hat lights.
2 GPS visor mounts, I hope this will hold my phone...
1 Digital Photo Keychain, with 2MB of flash memory)
and 1 VERY sequin-y purse.

another complete Bag of Coal adventure...
can't wait for the next one

Mine came in the mail yesterday, awesome!

1 photo ornament
1 photo keychain
1 Sony e-reader cover (I got real excited and thought I got an e-reader...oh well)
2 Leak Frogs (Was actually thinking of buying some of these last time they were up...*phew*)
1 craaaazzzzzzyyyy looking purse. I thought it was a prop from some crappy movie, like Burlesque or something. Holy beans. I mean...wow...

My Bag of Coal was supposed to be delivered today and now it says tomorrow but the USPS still has not received it according to the tracking info. welcome the holidays?

I would be interested in some leap frogs, anyone wanting to get rid of them, PM me.

I got the purse, some GPS mounting stuff, clip on LEDs and the keychain photo gig.

FYI, if you got one of the hairy purses it makes a rather warm hat.

So I s'pose it's the thing to do. I got a green wookie (immediately repurposed as a joke gift...but topically), the ornament (red)/keychain (blue) digital grouping, Sony cover, and teh Leakfrogs.

Sorry, traders. The frogs are my favorite part.

I admit, I wish there were more variety. This consistency has made this thread awful dull.

I simply cannot believe that a package that going to San Antonio, TEXAS is taking longer than everyone else's.... welcome the holidays?

Sony E reader cover, brown shaggy purse, snowman digital photo ornament, ball digital photo ornament. Not a let down but wishing there was more variety in what people were getting.

In my opinion that IS the let down. The fun was the anticipation of the unique junk you might receive. Now if you somehow scored two Bags of Crap you'd probably end up with two of everything with the purse color being the only difference. How sad.

I have the same feeling now that I've had when I was disappointed with a movie I was excited about (like Matrix II/III, and Starship Troopers without the armor), or when Futurama was canceled. Or Reaper.

Gosh, I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just being silly and having fun. I will refrain from further posting because I know you will be watching.

I regret my actions, and thank you for letting me know that I am not wanted.

I got a really great Bag of Coal last time, got a digital photo frame that actually works! the rest of it...mostly calendars..sucked, I did get this one, but it appears it will come into my campus box on the weekend (after a ridiculous delay in West Virginia), and I will have finished finals and be home by the time it arrives :-(

WOOT! No Bag of Coal for Xmas...:-(

got my first Bag of Coal this morning.

1 - Digital Frame Keychain
1- Digital Picture This Ornament
2 - LeakFrogs
1- pink fuzzy purse
1 - sony reader leather cover

very happy, thanks woot....the frog rocks!

Bluetoothed wrote:So i thought the Ornament was kinda cool and i tried to test it out. Looks like the 128mb memory is corrupt, the program does not detect the ornament and randomly crashes! Anybody got their ornament working? hmmm perhaps ill try it again later

I have gotten the ornament to work in Windows vista but it will not work with Windows 7. The software program just stops in Windows 7. I tried the compatibilty procedure but that also failed under Windows 7.

2 Leak Frogs
1 Sony e-Reader cover
1 Picture Time photo ornament (red)
1 Digital Photo Frame Keychain (blue)
1 wonderfully hideous pink sparkly purse

A step up from the last bac lol

Delighted with my Brown Old Cardboard that arrived yesterday in northern VA. No leak frogs, but 2 different cute digital tree ornaments, sony e-reader cover, funky pink beaded purse, and 2 neat little LED lights with a small screwdriver and mini-pen built in to them.

Even though there is a lot of similarity in these packages, the overall quality shift from odd lots and broken doo dads to an interesting assortment of stuff in working order is a good move. And I'm sure we will hear soon from a few folks that receive the notable exceptions.

Thanks WOOT for an interesting holiday box o' surprises.

I wish everyone didn't get the same thing, too. I mean of course a lot of people are gonna get one of the same thing, but I think it's more fun when the boxes aren't almost exactly the same

Same here, except for an ugly brown purse.

My 3.0 lbs bag will be waiting for me when I get home today... I hope theres something different, but it seems like there isnt me diversity

You could set up a virtual PC with VirtualBox.

got pretty much the standard fare in my first Bundle of Coats...

1 black purse (my daughter loved it)
4 clip light thingys
2 universal gps sunshade mounts
1 pink digital photo keychain

sadly no texas air or letter but...

it is what it was said to be... though ill put a vote in for more variety next time.

Thanx Woot!

You may have noticed I post a lot. If I ran away every time someone hit me with an insensitive comment, I'd be on Pluto by now.

You know, the planet Pluto...

Have there been any posts indicating someone got a letter yet? I haven't seen one.

Imagine if someone gets a pallet of hat lights. That would be, like 50,000 units.

BTW, the cheapest I can find those lights is $7.32.

And they're much less of a geek horror show than forehead lamps or bug-eyed brim lights.

I got the same as everyone else.

Regarding the purse... I got the pink one, and my 11-year-old daughter thinks it's the greatest item I have ever bought or ever will buy, and she hasn't put it down since.

Got my Bag of Coal yesterday!

2 Leak Frogs
1 Snowman Digital Ornament
1 Round Digital Ornament
1 Leather Sony E-reader Case
1 Fluffy crazy Pink Purse


Overall better than my last Bag of Coal(this is only my 2nd). Thanks Woot for the excitement and the stuff!!!

PS: If anyone has the Penguin Digital Ornament and would like to trade for my Snowman, let me know.(My wife is obsessed with Penguins).

i just want to clarify i am happy with the crap i received. i was just hoping for more variety. it took a bit of the excitement away knowing what we all are getting but i would still get one again. it was fun thanks woot.

Received my Bundle of Coats!! Oh Happy Day!!

1x Totally rad Pink Sequined Phyllis Diller prop bag (she's wearing it as a hat)


2x Teeny Tiny flashlight clipon Munchkin props

Exact same for me. Not a bad haul overall.. no clue what to do with the e-reader cover though, the rest has already been parceled out as xmas gifts. wootness!

Depending on whether or not they'll drop it at my door or not, I should have mine waiting for me at my doorstep when I get back from work.

It arrived in Columbus two days ago but sat around for seemingly no reason so it could be delivered today.
