Mean I should have won one!!!! Sigh woot

Don't worry. Us "winners" will later wish that our orders were denied due to lack of quality...

very sneaky woot, very sneaky. had i been up at this time, i could have scored this.

congrats to those who got one

and congrats to Woot for making us have to change our pattern of watching for Barrels of Crud#39;s

3 years and still never got one...

I live on the east cost and have cable for internet my speed is 20 down and 2 up. I got one this year . The last time I got one was over 5 years ago. My friend lives next door he tried and tried no luck. Even I had time out errors and wish they could have a better speed as I know folks even with slow speeds near the Woot site get them a lot better than folks outside the area.

Here's hoping for some more extra small t-shirts and broken toys!

If you have multiple credit cards, and multiple accounts, it does not prevent you from buying more.

Not defending the guy, or putting him down. Just stating the facts.

Same.

Yes, with PayPal you have to add your password again.

wallsg wrote:Don't worry. Us "winners" will later wish that our orders were denied due to lack of quality...

If $8 means so much to you, why did you buy one in the first place? Seems pretty ridiculous to order something called Bag of Cr.ap and then turn around and say that you're going to wish you got a refund for lack of "quality"

I got my Bag of Cuuuuuute! today <3

Can someone explain the Barrels of Crud to me? I'm totally new. It came up when I came on today and I thought I had some error page and the server was down, so I left.

Second in a row!

Last one was really Bag of Cuuuuuute! though, everything ended up in trash.

But anticipation alone is worth $8! Maybe this time will be different

I hate to beat a dead horse, but methinks people give up too quickly. I had server errors the first several page loads, then got to the order screen, and clicked the small gold box. After a long wait, I got to the confirm page and clicked the big gold box, only to have it spin for what seemed like eternity, eventually loading another error. I refreshed, and alas the blowfish ovulating cheeseballs was sold out. Only thing was, several minutes later I got an email confirming my order.

So, to make a long story even longer, NEVER GIVE UP!

Check wikipedia.. They're back online today :-)

101st woot = 1st Bag of Cuuuuuute! YAY!

I just want to point out that this sale launched at 13:37 (Eastern Time, check local listings).

\|/311 ¶1@¥3|), \|/00+.

Too bad for me, I was working & missed out. Oh well; everyone else, enjoy your crap!

ibarrera wrote:Really guys!?? Really!! The moment I finally step out for food you put the bag!!!!???

Sounds like someone needs to be more prepared for a Barrels of Crud hunt. Wine.woot frequently has food to get you through next time.

I got so close.

Got to the "buy" button. Clicked it and waited...

...and waited...

...and waited...

...only for it to time out.

SIGH.

Right on. If it's a good captcha I get it wrong 1 out of 3.

Same with the lottery. It's rigged I swear. I should win it at least every other time.

For the record, no script and got in. Yet the last few times I've had no luck... Relax...your congressman doesn't need to know about this travesty.

is there any history of there being 2 bags in one woot off.. come on u geeks with stats, what say u?

Oh well. I've had plenty of Bag of Cuuuuuute!s and with my last 3 or 4 being really, really crappy, the thrill is gone for me.

Booo hoooooooo, that is me crying you a river!

globalgamble wrote:is there any history of there being 2 bags in one woot off.. come on u geeks with stats, what say u?

I seem to remember there being one but I cant recall the details. I bet LEM would know. I think they offered it up, some people got them, then they offered it up again in the same woot-off not long after the first Barrels of Crud If you had gotten one the first round it wouldnt let you get one in the 2nd.

Got one for the first time in months! Thank you Woot for giving us East Coasters a break and not putting the bag up between 3-5 pm EST.

Oh good someone else in the 13 club.

This time I changed things up... Shipping to my farm (just bought it in October). Given yesterday was my birthday, this is great late b-day gift to myself.

I do have a 45'x31'x20' shop, just in case.

My reflexes were just fine, I even started a minute or two late (due to a meeting I was in).

If you insist...

Well lost power yesterday and did not get back home till after the Barrels of Crud Yet another reason to not like the snow in WA.

At lest I got the power back in less then a day.

Funny it also told me I could only have one to "share the wealth"

So, what's the point of the QR code. My phone (and all others I know of have the camera lens on the opppsite side of the display screen.

hmm... about 500 less craps than at xmas. Lets hope that decrease in quantity is an increase in crappiness!!!

and take that Alaska, Hawaii, Montana and Mississippi for not getting any Barrels of Crud! HA! you drool! we rule!

I was part of that, and if you got on the waiting list, you'd get denied for the next order. They shipped BOCs to people that were denied due to the bug. Awesome customer service.

They split it up into 3 separate offers, I believe it was an April 1st. There were over 1000 pages of comments as a result.

I got to the Big Stupid Button quite a few times and was always 503'd.

I'm bummed that I didn't get one, of course, but I don't feel so bad because yesterday after I almost but not quite pulled the trigger about a dozen times on the 32GB Thrive, my best friend from college texted me out of the blue and offered me his, along with a case & 32GB SD card, for a hundred bucks since he never uses it. Also, he won't be shipping it smartpost.

I feel like I won the woot off!

I got my order in the instant the Barrels of Crud went up, hit all the right buttons, got to the processing order screen, where it stayed forever ... and didn't manage to get one. Well, I assume I didn't, I haven't gotten an email and it doesn't appear on my account. Seems to be almost random whether or not you get one, even if you make it all the way through the process and got your order in at the beginning. Grrr.

I hope there are no spitball pads this time. I passed up on some cool kids stuff for my daughter because I wanted to try for a Bag of Crap for my 100th woot.

She got another 72 glow sticks for 99 so I guess she can deal

I wanted a Barrels of Crud mainly because I am waay too embarrassed about my last purchase 3 orders of "4” Glow Sticks – Assorted Colors – 24 Count "

I'd like for my most recent purchase to be something I'm proud of...

Ironically, I just noticed that as my last woot and had the same thought.

And how have I been suckered into buying so many different mp3 players over the last few years? Do I have a mental condition? Will I end up on that Hoarders show, with rooms stacked to the ceiling with boxes of these things?
