The problem isn't in remembering the security code - mine's easy. The problem is that during a woot-off, it's hard enough to get through one page without the item selling out or the server crashing, much less three!

Well the URL for the page after you press 'I want one! ' looks the same for every item??? So could you refesh that page till it shows you the option for the Box of Cobwebs - thus you only have to load two pages insted of three - there needs to be two pages so there isn't any accidentally purchases - my laptop trackpad freaks out and accidenty clicks the I want one button from time to time

I pay with PayPal. No security code for me. It's not like I'm going to forget my PayPal password.

Threepiecewoot God is the only God for me. I know you exist, I can only hope you listen. Be good to me on this blessed occasion, may my Bucket of Candycorn be bountiful. And if the Threepiecewoot God decides I am not worthy, I shall be satisfied with whatever I receive.

Even cooler is that we all share the same first name and last initial. EVEN COOLER than that is that it's both their first Box of Cobwebs

I'm hoping they both get really awesome stuff. Sure, some bags of crap are... crappy, but your first one is always special.

My first one had a GPS, a busted mp3 player, and a set of Woot Off lights. Maybe a Woot monkey, too.

Hope they get something better than my first Box of Cobwebs I got one of the April 1st ones with a calender, 2 6in usb extenders and a keychain woot monkey. Not special at all other than actually scoring a crap. Second one turned out better though and hoping the third gets even better :D, that is woot god willing of course. Oh and heres a pic of what I think the woot gods, mainly TPW, look like link

No. Each sale has a unique "Want One" url. Once you clicked that link, you'll be directed to page for buying THAT item and only that item. While the order details page appears to have the same URL for every item - it tracks the specific sale with session id (or maybe some hidden html tags within), so it won't kick back to the next sale. When it sells out, as you refresh, the server will either give you an error or kick you back to main page. So you'll only be wasting very valuable time if you do that.

I'm hoping for some limited edition Woot halloween themed headbands like the USA ones earlier this year. It's getting cold and my dog needs a headband for her early morning runs.

My second Box of Cobwebs in a row! Got one last wootoff too. I must be leading a charmed life, been trying every woot-off since 2006, and only once before had I been successful. :D

Best part of the last Box of Cobwebs was my umbrella cockatoo, Opie, shredding the box it came in. I put him in there, and he ate his way out. One of his favorite things to do. Should have video'd it, it was quite amusing.

So nowadays we suck up to threepiecewoot to get the good crap?

Our wootness who art in bag,
hallowed be thy contents.
Thy tracking number come.
Thy wait begun,
anticipation at work as it is at home.
Give us this month our monthly wootoff,
and forgive us our server crashing,
as we forgive the servers that crash against us,
and lead us not into buying more crap,
but deliver us good crap when we do.

Amen

i dunno it felt like 1:30 minimum, but yeah maybe it was 1:00 to 2:00 pst not 12:00 to 2:00 pst

Yes. :P

Ended a six-month drought this time around! I love the chase, but it's nice to get on the board again. Bring on the scaffolding!

Surprisingly, I'm actually hoping to score a Screaming Monkey or two. I've had two and the batteries are gone in both of them

You know what they say, the family that craps together...

uh...

I don't know...

Unwraps together???

Threepiecewoot is the one to such up to, but it seems even he has his limits. The last couple of times I've asked for a bucket for my monkeys it's not worked. So I'm guessing he doesn't have any, or I may have unknowingly offended his kind nature during another wootoff.

Nice!

I'm 3 for 3 in the last 3 woot! offs. My first one had the typical junk, but one unique item... a refurbished 30gb ipod video (5g, and my first ipod ever!).

My 2nd Bucket of Chum had nothing but chum. Take a look at the forums...

http://www.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=4631480

Everyone who posted pretty much got the same worthless crap, there's even a guy who followed the thread so closely he tracked everyone's crap score.

I'm so excited to have finally been lucky enough to order my first box-of-cobwebs and I only hope that the great threepiecewoot honors my bag with crap with a letter but regardless of what I receive I will always love and cherish this first box-of-cobwebs. Thank you threepiecewoot for all that is to come.

p.s. I am a new home owner and a vacuum wouldn't hurt...

Sorry I meant this is my new favorite prayer!

I do wonder....

How do they truly determine who get the WOOT Letters-which may or may not be the "epic score" of the wootoff?

Is there some sort of random order number generator program that they use?

Is it based off of them putting all the order numbers in a large paper bag or drum of some sort, then pick them out?

Do they throw them all over the floor and shoot flying monkeys at the pile-and which ever order the monkeys land on get a letter?

Fortune Tellers-Astrology?

The CIA?

Morse Code eminating from the Bermuda Triangle?

Ouija Board?

Aliens? Scientologists? Alien Scientologists?!?


I want to know!!!!!

If we're making requests, I'd like a letter indicating a third item being shipped separately. If that's too hard to manage, a tablet PC would be nice :D

Let's just hope we aren't shorted a crap like a lot of us were back in April!

Thou shall not be greedy, only grateful thou may or may not receive items worthy of thou's unconditional love for the great threepiecewoot, with or with out the appearance of the mysterious letter from the great threepiecewoot. Shame on thee for being greedy.

for years i tried and never succeed in my quest for a Bag of Cake always crashed servers when i clicked i want one. seriously i had better luck getting a touchpad 36 hours after the sale started then ever getting a Blue Oval Cake. I finally succeeded cant wait to see my flavors of Cake !! :D

A person can and will go crazy waiting for their shipping status to change to Your order has been shipped!

Two words: Bucky. Balls.

Thanks TPW!

P.S.(Please no red-headed stepchild Bucky Cubes)

Tried to add my tracking info for the Box of Cobwebs to the Tracker but the Submit button is disabled for some reason. Oh well......

You have to type in the CAPTCHA numbers first.

You realize that there is a chance you will get just that now! I think TPW has a great enough sense of humor to do just that!

My only request? That ThreePieceWoot has a fun time packing our bags.

Let loose, and don't let the negativity drain you!

It would be kinda cool if TPW honored Steve Jobs by blessing our bags with his creations.

I'm too stoked after finally getting one to care what's in it. First in my office to manage to get one. Hopefully more of us manage one next time.

Eh, requesting stuff will only make you disappointed. I expect nothing but the crappiest crap they can sweep up off the floor of the warehouse. If I wind up with something better? Jubilation!
