I'll keep trying, but I'll never buy a refurb Sansa product here again (on purpose). In the interest of full disclosure, I do have one prior non-Crap purchase of a Sansa refurb from w00t! that still works perfectly to this day. Which makes this bamboozle all the more mystifying.

Bear in mind that it DID come in a bag o crap... Emphasis on the word 'crap'. Consider yourself lucky that it works at all...

Alright, received the letter items today.

(1) MovieSac oversize bean bag chair
(1) Empty bean bag chair cover sack
(1) Roll of cotton canvas (10 yards)
(1) Pressure squeegee hose attachment
(2) Child blankets
(2) Cheap 3D glasses

I hope I can find a place to put the chair, otherwise one of my friends already called dibs on it.







Thanks Woot, awesome stuff!

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

I don't think my chair is a MovieSac, having looked over the website none of them look like what I got. Most of the MovieSac chairs seem to have some kind of felt or fuzzy cover on them, mine doesn't, it's just plain white fabric. It really has no distinguishing markings, labels, or tags anywhere on it.

Is that it for the reported letters? Is it time to close out this thread?

maybe it's a Foof?? I had one a few years ago, I think it had some kind of inner bag, and then another cover and had the ripped/cut up couch foam type filling. I think I remember seeing Foofs on one of the sites here before, but I could be imagining that too...

What's the "MS approach"?

That appears to be it exactly, thank you!

Someone give this man one more quality post

We generally call that the response sequence for dealing with Microsoft products when they don't work as expected (which is what we expect).

• Retry the operation.
  
• Restart the program and retry the operation.
  
• Log off and back on then restart the program and retry the operation.
  
• Reboot the computer (POWER CYCLE IT!) then restart the program and retry the operation.
  
• Remove and reinstall the program then reboot the computer then restart the program and retry the operation
  
• Repair windows from the install disk, then reapply all patches and service packs, reboot the system, reinstall the program, reboot the system, and restart the program and retry the operation
  
• Initialize the disk and reinstall windows from scratch, reboot the computer, reinstall all patches and service packs, then reinstall the program and restart it and retry the operation.
  
• Replace the computer because its probably too slow to run the most recent version of windows or its most recent service pack and start over.
  
• Spend hours searching online for an answer to the problem, only to find that although several dozen/hundred/thousand others have experienced the exact same symptoms, none of them ever received a response, or posted that they had solved it, their cries for help fading off into the distance like a squealing mouse caught in the jaws of a fleeing predator.
  
• Strike a blow for freedom and justice and get a real operating system.

Package of Colgate Wisp thingies

With all the shedding my yellow lab is doing, the brushes are the best part of the package. Tape job for the box was a joke. Could stick my hand in if I wanted. Hope nothing escaped during the travels.

I got exactly the same thing, except: instead of Whispies, substitute an 8-in-1 iPod ?something? with a return number on it. Any idea whether it's worth listing on ebay?

My Big o' Cosmos was short one item. Customer service sent a new box!

One black bag with white polka dots.
A box to mount five small speakers on the wall
Two Sham Wow towels
and
A pocket size wireless speaker, Bluetooth compatible.

Thanks, Woot!

How did you know it was short one item? Which item?

I tried the "MS Approach". Still takes an immediate hard left. The rear prop is not spinning unless you adjust the trim. The top props and counter balance appear straight and functional. It's weird since it was working fine for maybe a dozen flights.

if you live near a compusa they sell, and swap out defective sansa clips for another refurb, if you "have no recipt" its mandatory swap no "Refund" lol

I received a bag, and two other items. It is always supposed to be three items plus the bag.

Grrrrr. My sales tax is 8.25%. We used to pay no tax on Amazon, but pay on woot. Now we've been added to Amazon's tax group, which is a big deal for me. I wonder if the buyout caused this (i.e. the crossover state tax list went both ways). (To make it a little worse, Texans even pay sales tax on shipping and handling.)

BTW, woot has a discount code (TAXSUCKS) that Texans could use with an order OVER (and not including) $40, including woot's $5 shipping fee. The discount code subtracts that $5. Hopefully TAXSUCKS has been activated for the newly taxed states.

I got all that except no whispies. Instead I got a leather organizer type binder and ear warmers.
