If memory serves, Leo did tell us that he wouldn't get it until 7pm Eastern, so hope that your F5 key doesn't wear out in the meantime.

I bought an "Almost Mystery Box" from ThingFling yesterday. The one item they tell you you will get for sure (a projection alarm clock) was worth more than the price. We'll see if the additional items are interesting.

Every time I've seen it discussed, the consensus is that the items received from other sites in grab-bags are truly crappy. At least from Woot!, some people get some interesting stuff.

My Crap is out for delivery a day early!

My 5.8 box came yesterday!

3 Gold's Gym tote bags
2 PGA hats
1 PGA back pack
1 refurbished Linksys router
1 CorelDraw Graphics Suite program

No complaints here!

Yay Leo is getting his pallets later today and I'm probably getting my Bag of Coal today (a day early!) unless the Post Office is particularly slow but they got it yesterday at noon so I would imagine I'll get it with today's mail stats are still the same 6.9lb 18x12x12 within the "standard" ranges we've been seeing so... I have a vague idea of what's in store but we'll see (plus some people's measurements/weights from fedex have been way off so who knows!).

Update: it's OUT FOR DELIVERY!!!! Yay!!!!!!! Definitely getting my Bag of Coal today

I haven't received my box yet, and looks like it will be a day late. BUT not matter what I get I will have gotten my $8 worth just from reading this thread!
Thanks Woot!

Thanks for nothing.



Both of you stop your whining and bitching...

You bought crap, and you got crap... It's a (no pun intended) crap shoot...

Look at the HUNDREDS of other posters who shared their hauls: some got crap, some made out like freakin bandits...

Are you still buying lottery tickets?

Jackasses....

Now Now be nice that means 2 less ppl trying to get it!!! Think of the positive!! hehehe

In my 7.4 lb box:

- 4 fact or crap 2010 calendars
- 3 aqua globes
- 2 supremely ugly beaded purses
- and a partridge in a pear tree!... urm... no, I mean a pga sling backpack

Thanks for the fun Woot! Now waiting to see Leo's...

my Bag of Coal has been out for delivery since the 31st.

That's worth a call to whoever claims to be delivering it.

6.1 lb box was at the post office today, all the expected stuff, but unlike the other Bag's I've had in the past, I have a use for almost everything.

Aquabulbs - kids might remember to water their plants with these.

PGA Backpack - I'll have to hide this from my daughter until I fill it with my own stuff.

Philips Universal Remotes - Ok, I really only have a use for 1 of these, but I'll be I can find homes for the other 3.

Gold Gym Bags - Between grocery bags, daughter's sports stuff, and other stuff that needs to get from place to place, these are great.

All in all, had someone offered me this box of stuff for $20 I would have taken it, and that wouldn't have included any of the fun of reading about everyone else's crap.

For those unhappy with their crap... Please, don't buy any more of these. They're already hard enough for us "jolly" folks to get.

can't wait to see Leo's.

also... Does anyone want to sell me their 16 gb iPhone that they got?!?!?!

10.3 lbs of crap

1 pga bag
1 pack aqua globes
1 case gold's gym bags
12 fact or crap books

I am looking for some of those tech lights for my scout troop

I could really use one of those extra universal remotes. I'd of course cover shipping.

My wife and I both got our BOCs yesterday.

My haul:

The usual:
2x PGA Hats
1 box (3x) Gold's gym Bags
1 PGA Backpack

The bonus item:
1x Eton FR1000 Voicelink Self-Powered Hand-Crank Flashlight - :D

My wife's haul:
The usual:
2x PGA Hats
1 box (3x) Gold's Gym bags
1 PGA Backpack

The bonus items:
12x Hand-Powered Flashlights (Shake to powerup) - :D
A Power Ranger knockoff mask and figures. - :S


Overall a successful Bag of Coal party. All those who came over to join in the fun left with great new party favors. The flashlights and hand-crank radio will go great in our emergency kit.

Got mine yesterday as I was on vacation until then.

1 PGA bag
1 2010 Facts Calender
1 Ugly-ass purse my girlfriend instantly gave to our dog
1 Pack of Mini-AquaGlobes


Not the best haul, but happy for my first Bag of Coal in 5 years of trying!!!

Got mine today.

2x PGA hats
1x PGA Backpack
1x Backscratcher
1x HP inkjet printer

What kind of a backscratcher?

My 5.2 box arrived today, 2 days early even though smartpost (misnomer) says it's still in Kent WA. What I got was:

I McGladrey Team Championship sling bag
1 x3 Aqua Globes, mini
I x3 Gold's Gym fitness totes
1 size medium Tickle Tinkles shirt (

and

one "Braves" stuffed mascot? Which puts an end to the idea that Woot somehow researches us Wooters or they'd never have sent anything from that particular team (with their tomahawk chop) to THIS Indian!

Thank you Woot! All in all, this has been a fun experience for my first Bundle of Coats!

NOW, waiting (impatiently) to see what LeoF got!!! Please let it be something nice!

Super happy about my haul.
Thanks woot. 4rd time was a charm. Last Bag of Coal I got was 3 swiffer dusters that never saw any use.

Ditto. This is what I got also.

The projector will be cool for a day or so. I actually have a few friends that are going to the gym now, so I will give them the bags. Mostly just happy I finally got a Bundle of Coats!

I got two decent Mystery Box items from Dillyeo recently for $4.99...but besides the Logictech headset with mic, I don't remember the other item. I just remember that one of the regular items I ordered didn't come and it took nearly a month for Dillyeo to get their heads out of their a$$e$ and sent it to me. And shipping was $12.95 but when I complained about how ridiculous that was, they refunded the entire charge!

If it weren't for their shipping charges, I'd order from Dillyeo again.

On further research it's a MLB Atlanta Braves Lubies.

I'm waiting for my Cul De Sac from Easystreetdeals, in the past the culdesacs i have gotten from them have been pretty decent

also I've too been glued to this thread just to see what the 2 pallets will be that Leo is getting, knowing Woot I bet it will be a bunch of pre 1997 cell phones or crt monitors, lol

So, I just checked again, and it is out for delivery after all. I have only tracking information for 1 box weighing 8.1 #.
So I wonder what this means? Does it look like there are maybe 2 boxes?

Sorry Frankier...Jan 4 12:30 PM FedEx signed off on it, tendering it to the USPS. Jan 4 at 10:24 AM the USPS took delivery of the box (FedEx was on eastcoast time prolly), USPS on Pacific time.

The good news is today you will get your craptacular box of 8.1lbs delivered to your front door today! Can't wait to hear what you got and I hope there is a card lurking in there among your PGA bag & plant watering thingies...

Thanks, that explains how it arrived twice at a 12:30 PM and then at a 10:24 AM. East coast time!

My second Bag of Coal ever. Unfortunately this one was almost identical to my other a few months back!

1 PGA bag (my other one tore out already inside)
2 PGA hats
3 Golds Gym Bags
1 Totally random USB cable. No idea what this thing is for! Random cable. HA HA HA.

4lbs of crap!

I'm ready for the next one.

Got mine on 12/31. Wasn't scheduled until 1/4. That was the first bonus. Contents are as follows:

1x Plantronics BT Headset ~$80 Amazon
3x Golds Gym Totes
1x PGA Tour SlingPack
2x PGA Tour caps
2x 3 pack Aqua Globe
1x Lego Obi-Wan Star Wars watch minus Obi Lego Guy. (One of my kids wanted one for Christmas. he tried it on and said it hurts. I am glad Santa was cheap.)

Got mine last night, 9.5 lbs -

(1) PGA Backpack

and

(8) 2010 Fact or Crap Calendars


Prolly the saddest Blatant Orange Cone I have yet received, but the calendars will make great gag gifts later in the year, and I'm sure I can find a use for the backpack, thanks WOOT!

I just opened mine 8.3#

PGA Bag (nice I will use it)

2 PGA hats (nice I will wear it)

box of 3 Golds Gym bags (I have 3 now 6 but still nice)

Box of 4 universal remotes (1 sold to a friend)

Box of 12 shock tape measure (cool kind of hurts and don't know what to do with I am willing to trade)

I am very happy with my Crappy stuff, Thank You woot! keep up the crap we love it

I got the same 10.3 lbs. of crap. I actually kind of wanted the mini aqua globes (the "small" ones were too big for my plants).

Hoping for another box, got one today with the PGA bag and 1 box of off-brand legos.
I'm thinking since there's only 2 items here, another box is on it's way? ::wishing, and hoping::

Has anyone seen a letter?

I would love to know where my Bag of Coal is. It has been in New Jersey for 5 days now (I live in NJ) and 2 days ago it departed a smartpost location that is 30 minutes away from my house. USPS didn't ship anything today either so the estimate is off..
