So - can anyone confirm that if you get the email, you're good? Lots of bad screens...but did get the email!

Would be my first ;-) I think Woot appreciated the other crap that I bought the last 2 days.

GRRRR.... Made it to the order page, entered my Credit card info, and then boom, a 4 in 1 car emergency tool. Props to those that beat me to!

......server fail....so much for this one ever getting a Break on Colons

Crap! I don't know if I got one or not. It went through all of the steps but froze on the order confirmation screen. I could read it in my browser bar, but the screen came up white.

Never got to the final "order is in" page, but I did get to click on the absurdly large button and got the confirm e-mail. Thus I have successfully landed my third Burgandy Olfactory Center Servers were slow today, but not atrociously so. This Burgandy Olfactory Center contest is improving.

Noooooooooooo!!!! I almost had it! I'm new at this. Is there only one Burgandy Olfactory Center per Woot-off?

Same thing on last few bags for me, on it the second it comes up, hit want one, wait for a period of time, put in card security code, press button.

Sometimes get to next button, then it freezes, or it just freezes up on me after I push the gold button the first time.

Grrr. Seems like all the folks using the wootalyzer, or whatever, get the crap. It ain't right.

/gripe

1 1/2 days watching, 1 pee break later, it's all over...

Bag of Coal TWO WOOT-OFFS IN A ROW!!!!! Woot! Woot!

Once again, no love from the Woot! gods. Almost made it too, but for some reason they lost my card info and by the time i got through putting it all back in, sale was over.

It's my first too!

WoooHOOOO! My first Burgandy Olfactory Center!!! Christmas comes early this year... Oh really, SmartPost? Well, maybe not early, but eventually

Same here. No graphics loaded and the page looked funky, but it worked!

In for 2nd Burgandy Olfactory Center Hopefully this one is better than my last box of dr seuss PDAs.

I Beowulf clustered them and still can't load up my BBS.

Dang!! Couldn't get to Confirmation Page. :-(

YES YES YES!! Oh Woot, I love you so.

It did the same thing to me but I got a conformation email. Check and see if you got one.

And what do I get? ERROR - this is sold out!

What a bunch of BS! You mean to tell me that the dang thing sold out while I was waiting for my submitted order to be processed! Seriously, raise the shipping charge and buy a better server!

/rant

Finally! Now I can get back to work. Oh yeah, I got one, but didn't know until I saw it under My Account.

Sweet!! 2 in a row...1 year apart. Got the Christmas Burgandy Olfactory Center last year too.

Woohoo! First Bludgeon Our Computers! Been trying since 2005! Back when smart phones weren't smart.

I'm giving up after countless attempts now.

I finally made it to an order page and got ALL of my information submitted correctly but it told me THREE times there was an error with processing my request on the ordering page, not some internal error message. I even clicked the absurdly large button and nothing happened.

This is a load of crap.

Got to the "this info is correct" and the confirmation page never loaded. Sad panda.

I remember the good ol' times when everyone else had problems obtaining a Burgandy Olfactory Center and I didn't. My chances of obtaining a Burgandy Olfactory Center are inversely proportional to the amount of people posting success on the message thread.

Got straight through easily but then "info is incorrect" even though it wasnt, re-entered and reloaded 20 or so times, until I finally got "This sale is Sold Out"

DANG! Wouldve been 4 in a row

Same thing happened to me. Today is my birthday, and I felt like that was absolutely a sign I was going to get something good. Unfortunately, it is also finals week at my university and waiting for the bundle of carrots to pop up has surely negatively impacted my potential for good grades. I remain hopeful, though. At work, I can't check my personal email. Maybe there will be a birthday gift from woot! waiting in my email inbox when I get home. Happy Birthday to me!

Hits the gold buy button in time, servers crap out. Seems like I'm unlucky once again...

Wow, I refreshed as soon as the previous sale ended, clicked to buy immediately and was STILL unable to load the order screen in time. Amazing!

Took forever to get to the payment confirmation screen... Finally got the lo-res version of the payment confirmation screen. Took forever again to get to the BUY IT screen. Several failures.

No 2nd BöC. Oh well. (I'm even on my fiber connection, only 5 miles from Woot HQ...

*sigh* - why is it that Utah lights up on the wooters map for a Burgandy Olfactory Center but we'uns in Maine seem to get the dark side?

Got as far as the "Order" page, and then my world fell apart as their servers took a long time and then just said, "Done." to my browser.

So Frustrating! Years of trying and I have only received one Bag of Coal cause of server failures. last time I got to the Press the big button to complete order and it crashed! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The servers appear to be as crappy as ever now. Thought for a moment I wasn't going to get in there! Snagged probably one of the last 100. *WHEW* Only took like 3 computers 4 different browsers.

You know what I would like to see? A law that makes companies honor a purchase.

I click this and it is in my cart then I should not lose out due to their hardware malfunctions.


They need to honor the deals for anyone who clicked.

I hit the stupidly large button to buy and got no feedback. If I got it when do you find out? How long to show up under purchases or an email?

Screwed yet again. It crapped out on the confirmation page AGAIN! Zero for to many to remember.

Finally got one after 5 years of trying
Happy holidays to me!

Stayed logged in all day. Even reviewed some receipts. Then when it comes up... I'm suddenly logged off. Thanks. No crap for me.

Woot: "Ok guys, the HD camcorder is nearly sold out."
Woot employee: "So you want to do the Burgandy Olfactory Center next then?"
Woot: "Sure, but make sure you take down all the extra servers first."
Woot employee: "Won't that make it an intentional PITA for our customers to give us their hard-earned money?"
Woot: "Don't you know by now that Woot is about rewarding the people that have nothing else to do but pounce on cheap junk less than 4 seconds after it's been posted?!"
Woot employee: "I see, your highness." *pulls power on server farm*

*sigh*
I got the confirmation page, all went white, no email, nothing on the account. No Bucket of Candy for me.

Going for Bag of Coal #3, in as many months and it locks up on the order confirmation page. I'm crossing my fingers for the email. DON'T FAIL ME WOOT!!

Woohoo, Bag 'O Creampuffs number 3 headed my way!

Scored one!!!

Merry Christmas, indeed!! Thanks, Woot!!
