Funny thing is, a co-worker who used a woot watcher website with an autodirect to the buy page on a bag of crap failed him and hung, whereas my old fashioned "hit F5 on his 'Bindle of Carrots!'" shout succeeded. Well, one of two pages succeeded. The second page gave me the "your account has already ordered" message.

Suffice it to say, he was put out.

Well its over, I guess 3 in a row was the limit for me. Still sitting on the 'This Info Is Correct' Screen. Got to it really fast, alas, 10 minutes later still spinning!

I hate Woot. I don't know why I even bother to click on the damn bag o'crap. I've NEVER, EVER gotten one. BS!

I pressed Buy the first instant it came up on woot and I am stuck on the shipping/billing screen. I really hope this goes through. There is a new woot already :-(

I dont see how I can get one of these, they seem to sell out before they even pop up.

Doing the happy dance! WooooHooooo I got my Bundle of Crops #2. This is a great day-after-birthday present! Thanks Woot!

Is it too early to go sit on my porch and wait for the package?

FINALLY! After five years and countless refreshing, my first Crappy Bag! My wife will be pleased.

This is the first time I get a Bindle of Carrots. Hope I can get a roomba or a TV which I really need them. Exciting, exciting...

Yes! I got one... This will be my second Bindle of Carrots, I have tried 5-6 times to buy one. Hope I get my than just Woot Lights this time!

Seriously. even with frantic F5-bashing, I never get to see it, because the servers get so suddenly overloaded that NOTHING happens.

On the rare instance it gets to show the picture before it sells out (usually not), I then get to wait for it to try and get to the order screen.

By the time it churns through to the order screen, of course, it has sold out. This is usually within about thirteen seconds, tops.

Seriously.. All I want is a chance at what the greedy bastards with the Bag scripts are hogging. Can we add some sort of Captcha or something? Please?

I did not use a "script", an automated webpage or any sort of program. In fact it was half gone when I clicked the "I want one!" button on the main webpage. Took forever (at least it seemed like forever) to get through ordering it, but I got the confirmation email!

It is possible to score a bag without using the cheats.

I can't believe I got one, and on my phone! This means I can't complain about ATT's network for at least 6 months. I clicked it right when it came up, and by the time 10 minutes passed, I thought it was a futile effort. I think I just barely squeaked in right before it sold out. Thanks woot!

wooooo Bundle of Crops for me! What a wonderful birthday present to me this will make! So excited! Thanks be to the woot godz!

My first Bundle of Crops WHAT A MARCH.

I timed out on the confirmation page. No emails so I am guessing I have FAILed at the Bundle of Crops sweepstakes.

All my monitors failed, but I got to the page just by chance right at the start, clicked "I want one"...50 minutes later the order page finished loading. Should I continue??

Awesome. More crap for us. Bye!

I am a casual Wooter, and this is my 3rd Bundle of Crops I told a coworker and he got his first today. I've never used a script, and neither has he. You just have to be a combination of lucky and patient. Once you start the "I want one" process, you have to be patient. If you reload and start it over again, you're only increasing the time until the page loads and if you do it too much then the Bag will sell out before you can finish the ordering process. I've had that happen too, where I've gone through the entire process and it said "we've sold out of that item" or something to that effect. Luck can come in in unexpected ways, such as when I got my first one, it was the day the iPhone 4 went on sale, so everyone was out standing in lines for one, and the Bundle of Crops that day was surprising easy to get into. I even tried to buy multiples and it said I'd already ordered it, that was how much time I had to order. So it comes down to luck and patience. Just hang in there and keep trying and one day you should get it!

Mine did that too... and then when it finally went through it took me back to the shipping/billing page and said "This sale has sold out."

Mine's STILL spinning after putting in my password for Paypal payment on the order page. I never got to the big gold "confirm order" button. At least give me a "sold out" after already putting up the next product.

Still spinning... you tease, you. I had to X out of the tab.

At the beach in Maine! FINALLY a sunny day! Come back to the room, washing up the younger two, and everything's perfect!
Check the Woot!Off, and the Bindle of Carrots is almost sold out! I feel OK though! Finally stopped raining on my vacation!

Good luck to all you Bundle of Crops#39;ers !!

Got one! I was nervous I was going to miss it as I have to leave work early today to host a dinner for friends. I'm serving brown butter and sage sweet potato gnocchi and chicken piccata so it takes a while to put everything together. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Thank god I checked my credit card information yesterday, because somehow it got deleted from my account. Are you messing with me Woot? Or should I just worry you've been hacked?

the Box of Chemicals has eluded my grasp yet again, Bundle of Crops YU NO LET ME HAVE?!

FINALLY! After five years and countless refreshing, my first Crappy Bag! My wife will be pleased.

I got one! Two in the last three woot offs ...........swwwweeeeettt!!!!

Thanks WOOT!

Actually, I just walked into the room, hit F5 and the bag o' crap stared me in the face. I hit the "I want one" button, waited for an eternity and the order screen came up. I filled in my crc and hit the small gold rectangle, and waited another eternity for the confirmation screen to show. I hit the Square and waited again, sure that I would get a "Sold Out!" screen, but it didn't happen - I got a receipt!

Got my lucky number 15th today. No scripts, just dumb luck as always.

As soon as the Xoom ended, I hit order on the Bundle of Crops I got to the order screen after a few minutes of loading. When I hit the gold button, it timed out. I refreshed the front page and there were still half of the Bundle of Crops#39;s left. I don't understand. I agree on the captcha thing as well. The scripters ruin it for everyone..

I was so hoping for some complex algebra or anything but the bots/scripts

Really excited to receive my first Bandoleer of Clutter. Preparing my box opener knife...

Nope, not this time. The items Woot seems to have over the past few years are less and less a great deal.

Wine Woot is really the only woot site that has something that I can't get elsewhere for about the same price.
