This has gotten to be a joke trying to get a Burgandy Olfactory Center No more I tell you, no more..

Curses!! got to the order page and clicked the gold button. after a while loading it came up to the stupid travelon tool.

My first Bag of Coal and Woot purchase! Thanks Woot!

Missed it again, but congrats to all who got a Burgandy Olfactory Center

Got into the buy page 3 times!!!! its wrong I say WRRRRROOOOOONNNNNNGGGG!

Me too buddy. I got there a bunch and it always crashed after saying everything was right...=(

Crapola - again I watch as the previous utem sells out, bang away on the F5, hit the want one, and wait - long agonizing delay...after minutes go by what do I see?

The buy it/payment page! hurriedly I fill in and hit buy. Then the blank screen for another four or five minutes. And then...

Confirm by hitting the big button - which I do....

Screen goes blank...nada.

But lo and behold, in my account page...I GOT ONE!

WHOO HOO!

Christmas stocking stuffers are on the way.

I thought I finally had my first bag...and then Woot decides to not accept my password. It was keyed correctly on the order screen...you know...the one that says "your woot password for added security and to screw you out of yet another Bag of Coal".

Sooooo close!!!!!

A barbie bookbag

Chalk

1 plastic compact with light

Truly, it was crap.

Think I just snagged my 6th bag (states ordered in account info, but no e-mail yet), none of them had anything decent. I seem to be good at snagging them, but typically get the worst of the bags that I see listed here. It's fun waiting to see anyway.

Does anyone think we'll actually get this by Christmas???

Denied. Again. 0 for 47. Christmas isn't coming this year Little Timmy. You were going to get a Burgandy Olfactory Center but due to the incompetance of the Woot servers you will just have to die without one. Sorry.

Got to the big "BUY IT!" button, clicked it, 3 minutes later, it went to the home page. I can't check my email at work so I don't even know if it went through. My Woot account isn't listing it as something I've bought. Bah Humbug! Oh well, I got farther than I normally do. Congrats to all who got some. May your stockings be stuffed with awesome crap!

junk! but it's the fun of the chase...you get leftovers. i've heard that people get a box with a note for a TV or something great like that, but i was never so lucky. Flying monkeys, wall decals, broken electronics, pumpkin flashlights, a laser pointer, iphone protectors, and often multiples of junk!

WooooHoooo!!!!!

I thought I had hit the server wall again at the buy it page, but I checked my account and there sits the Bundle of Carp!

Thank you woot! gods for the Xmas Carp!

Missed it again. I jumped right away on my computer and my phone and nothing but blank, white pages. I am pretty darn bummed right now.

Hit the button saying "I want one" right when item appears. Page lags out. Same as last time I tried this. Thanks woot. So I take it the Bag of Coal shows exactly what runs your servers? A hamster with Turrett's syndrome on a broken hamster wheel?

I got my Bag of Cats, the email just arrived!Thank you Woot!

Yippee Skippee!! Bag of Crap number 19 for moi.

Oh, were you expecting the Bag of Good Stuff?

I don't think I got it. Grrrr.
Got the gold button, saying "this info is correct", then it locked up for a couple of minutes.
Such a bummer.
I knew it had to be coming up after the last item.

Woooooooohooooooooooooooooo!!! After two long years I finally got one!!!!!!!!!
That's it, I'm done now, T-Bone out!

two more failed loads past the order page, this is getting old.

Nice this makes 5 Burgandy Olfactory Center#39;s! Persistence is the key after at least 4 errors it connected.

What a way to start a Woot career!

I used wooters.us to get notified of the Burgandy Olfactory Center and 'autobuy'.
Immediately went to woot and hit the "Buy it now" on my other two devices/connections.

NONE of them came up with the next page. All 3 failed.

Ridiculous guys... simply ridiculous.

Maybe it's overkill, I have ONE PC on ONE connection and I got ONE Burgandy Olfactory Center

Its been a while. Yaaa I got one today.

Got one!

Yeah but that was when crap was really crappy.

Impossible on a 3G connection.

So say we all.

Whoo, after much refreshing of multiple windows using all my tricks, I scored a Blue Oyster Cult. Sadly, haven't seen a letter reported in ages, ever since I started my lucky streak of success with the Cult. Here's hoping!

Good luck to all who scored this time, and better luck for next time to all who didn't.

Got one, going to wrap it and put it under the tree for Xmas. I hope it's not a kitten.

Sigh, another Burgandy Olfactory Center another white page of nothingness after the CC validation. Humbug! And I was on it in a flash too.

If I ever score a Burgandy Olfactory Center again, I fully expect one of woot's HTTPS servers to be in the bag!

Woo hoo! I clicked like the wind, but the Internet connection here blows, so it was a nail-biter. After seven minutes, dozens of F5s and error screens (some really odd ones too), my Christmas crap took! Thanks Santa!

Server was loading after the stupidly large button, then...

Error: cannot display the page.

Suddenly, an email: Woot received your order. My second bag ever, less than a month after the first.

clicked the buy it button, screen starts to load, computer pulls a Santa repudiator move and fries its power supply. Still no conf email, I think I got hosed.

I love how I purchased two different items today with no problem. I'm tired of getting " Somethings wrong"- Yes your server sucks. Sad thing is I'll be back again

Wooting since 2005 and I FINALLY got one of these! I wonder if it's just a coincidence that I upgraded to fiber optic internet yesterday...

I think woot is stalking me because almost every wootoff for the last year I am away for a short time and come back to my comp and I just missed a Bag of Coal by minutes.

So frustrating. It kept telling me I had a bad field, but I haven't changed anything since my last purchase. So weird.

Just got my first one! WOOHOO!
