While watching on the first day, I accidentally got a Bunnies Ogling Carrots but I didn't find anything else I wanted. Unfortunately, I was traveling the next two days, so I didn't have much time to woot off.

I suppose it was inevitable with the rise of Amazon. But still, I miss the old days.

Please stop, I'm bored...Please stop, I'm bored...

No one is forcing you to watch!

Only fair Woot. We complain when they are bad we should compliment when they are good. This was a good old fashioned style Wootoff. Strange items you have no use for but are intriguing none the less; Woot Monkeys and many Bunnies Ogling Carrots#39;s (Even though I didn't get one for various reasons). And, no real server crashes. WELL DONE WOOT!!!

I actually just remembered what happened on every Bunnies Ogling Carrots offering.

1st Bunnies Ogling Carrots - 1:50AM: Deep sleep. Had school next day. 1 Bunnies Ogling Carrots
2nd Bunnies Ogling Carrots - 1:48PM: Buy option was on "Paypal" but I forgot password, switched to credit card but those few seconds was crucial time. Got a denial letter.
3rd Bunnies Ogling Carrots - 9:51AM: Was in school, but in break. Went to vending machine for some Nestea. Had iPhone with me on constant refresh, then I saw a squirrel (picture on signature, thanks to bsmith1 for the photoshop) with a kings hawaiian bread from my friend and I took a picture of it. When I came back to the internet, the bag just slipped away.
4th Bunnies Ogling Carrots - 6:10PM: - My sister was on my computer playing ukulele chords. I was like "get off my chair, I think a Barrel of Crops is coming." (oh the irony of how that sounds) I refreshed, I was seconds too late and another denial letter.
5th Bunnies Ogling Carrots - 1:37PM: - Just got out of school and had lunch with my mom. Turns out my mom was driving without a licence and so I was asked to drive. The last item was on "sold out" and I kept on refreshing.. a bag! So I quickly put my number in and clicked past through the two screens.. but another denial letter (I guess it was my crappy 3G signal at the time) and that was me holding my phone on the wheel to watch that processing icon to change. I thought I was really having a crappy day.
6th Bunnies Ogling Carrots 5:38PM: - Having hope of only one or two more chances for grabbing a bag, I put measures on my computer to ensure a speedy checkout. I put my mouse and scroll to 100% tracking and copied and pasted my security code. The bag finally came up, I went all the way to the processing page.. nothing happening. I checked my e-mail... a confirmation! I could'nt have been any happier again even though I was already about to accept loss and wait for the next month. I was actually about to just buy myself something on Amazon (an Airzooka). I think I still want that Airzooka.

(all times were Cali times)

I'm pretty much saving all the excitement for myself (and my little sister) until I receive my Barrel of Crops. Then I'll start posting back in that Bunnies Ogling Carrots thread again, but for now.. I'm trying to avoid it as much as I can. Somebody hold me!!

Wow, I could've written a book about this! But man guys, I get a pretty big adrenaline rush when I see these things. Good times, thanks woot! If I only found you guys sooner, but I'm glad i'm here now!

Oh and, the server works by the way. Is it like Facebook-grade servers?

I wanted a crap bag... next time wootoff... next time

I thought the Woot off was awesome. I didn't score a Bunnies Ogling Carrots but enjoyed sitting around talking nonsense with the community. In my opinion, the way the Bunnies Ogling Carrots are done now are even better, and I feel like I have a much better shot at getting one. That is if I can correctly remember my credit card security code next time (doh!).
I just hope next time I have more money to spend. I really want to buy those salted chocolates next time. They look amazing.

Keep up the great work, Woot! No complaints here!

Look, I think its cool that you got a Bunnies Ogling Carrots but I don't think its fair your squirrel got one too. I mean, he will probably just trade it for acorns. Squirrels always ruin a Woot off for me.

(I really hope you don't change your signature anytime soon or I will look insane).

It was a good woot!off.

In typical fashion, things I'd have bought came up while I was AfK. When I checked the woots! list after class and spotted those Doomsday playing cards I had a "man, want those!" moment, ditto one of the iPod offers (were only 3, and I was AFK for some reason).

Got the Oneida flatware on home.woot.

Scored a Bunnies Ogling Carrots

I didn't even realize there was a woot!off going on until it was about 18 hours old. Observant me.

No BoϚ for me, I'm too busy these days to keep a tab on Woot! unfortunately...

I think im keeping the squirrel signature permanent which I find unique to me and I have a story behind it.

Also, that's not my squirrel.. It took the bag for itself!

I only got three monkeys and a bandoleer of carrots, mostly because I was busy with things that intruded, but it was a fun Woot-off.

I scored 72 chem lights for 97 cents, what's not to love?

waz out of town so I could only view it from a distance since I was on a community computer.

The Woot-Off was fantastic!!!

I got a tv mount which was great priced.
Even though I didn't score a Barrel of Crops, I still had fun!

Well done Woot!!!

Bravo!!! Bravo!!! Encore!!! Encore!!!

Try not to make all your sites have their woot-offs at the same time. I would enjoy them more if I didn't feel overwhelmed with trying to keep up with all 3 sites. A few times I was watching home.woot and missed an item I would have bought on woot because it sold out before I had a chance to check back.
Plus image 3 woot-offs in 45 days and not 1 mega one every 45 days.

I so long for a Barrel of Crops. I think i prefer the order number matching the dow jones number method of determining who gets crap - that way it's not a mad dash and frustration inducing exprience.

But i'll keep wooting no matter how they get rid of crap!

close here.. the one i was willing to buy was sold out in the style/design i wanted

of course, no Bunnies Ogling Carrots either.. so guess that's 2 things

Yeah, I picked up a couple of things, had four attempts at the bags o' crap, all four failed to complete the order. Maybe you should put some sort of weighting system in for those of us who buy from woot on a regular basis, maybe push our orders through a little quicker, hmm?

Perhaps you should start an Outdoor.Woot so we can get all this junk out of our gadgets. Dozens of backpacks, sleeping bags, golf clubs, balls, volleyball kits, seriously? DNW.

I waited. I watched. I read. I did some other stuff. The previous woot-off I sat by my puter non-stop, straight-through for the duration...did not win a Bunnies Ogling Carrots (there wasn't one; not a single offering EVER)... did not win one this time. Last time I bought a bunch of stuff I really didn't need just to help take some for the team. This time, meh.

I missed the Candy Basket salted caramels and for that I'm pinching my thigh, HARD! Come to me my sweet little salted carayummies...mmmmm....slobber...other not pretty words of gluttony.

Oh, and by the way, doesn't it seem like Woot is in slow-mo when the woot-off is over? No flashing lights, just a single offering over a 24-hour-yawn-stretch...blip.

Woot-offs suck anymore. I can't remember the last good one. I haven't bought anything from woot in over a year b/c everything is so disappointing.

The disappointing part was making it all the way through checkout and being told my order for one bandana of courage was not accepted.

.

Now that woot! is so popular, i think they sould change the rules for the Bunnies Ogling Carrots... I think you should have to ACTUALLY BUY STUFF to be able to get a bag..... I tried on EVERY Bunnies Ogling Carrots during this woot-off and got NOTTA but see all these foals scoring left and right... maybe only allow users with 10, 20 or whatever amount of woots be able to purchase the Bunnies Ogling Carrots when it comes up... yeah Im bitter but I still think it would be a good idea and woot would sell more actual product. Im just sayin'

And this will destroy Woot. It will push away old users trying to score a Bunnies Ogling Carrots and will keep new users from hearing about the awesomeness of Woot. I'm not going to go through all the reasons, but just remember what is best for one doesn't necessarily mean it is the best for all. Woot is here to make money. Someone has to talk away without a Bunnies Ogling Carrots

Sadly the Woot Off came just days before my bank account had more than 20 dollars so I spent much of it yelling at my computer, "if I only had the money" and I managed to miss seeing every single one of the Bunnies Ordering Carrots through some special skill I have.

Found a few goodies, and loved the idea of having several chances at a bag 'o crap. Not so thrilled that EVERY time I tried to buy said bags 'o crap, the "I want one" button only refreshed the page instead of, say, taking me to the purchase screen. That was wrong, Woot, so wrong.....I thought I meant more to you than that.

I can't woot at work I have to actually work, what a concept. Never saw any Blue Oyster Cults but did score some Michigan Riesling/Pinot Grigio and some kids woot.
I thought it was a pretty okay woot-off.

Thanks for the poll. To be honest, even for a really good deal, I'm not gonna stare at my computer for hours waiting for a woot-off that interests me.
When I saw it was a woot-off, I skipped it.

I loved the way the box was handled this time. Gave people multiple chances to snag it up. Plus I noticed items where moving out faster because people wanted to see the Bunnies Ogling Carrots I would have liked to see more razer products though. That naga epic was cool, but I was expecting more, I have an unhealthy addiction to razer stuff.

Remember when Woot offered entire Klipsh speaker sets one speaker at a time during woot offs? I do, and those days were great.

I agree with other comments. I loved Woot-offs back in 2007-2008 because the items were mostly electronics and almost all items were at an incredible sale price. Now items on woot-offs seem to be typical prices you would find else where. Is this due to Woot now being under Amazon and attempting to limit loses since Woot's warehouse went from a shack to one of the largest in the world? Most likely,yes.

Luckily for Woot, I do most of my shopping on Amazon so they don't have to worry about their parent going broke anytime soon.

Unlike most woot-offs, when the Bandoleer of Carrots falls during the work day, when I am working, half of these were outside normal work hours (and, I think, at least one was outside anybody's work hours assume a 8-12 hour shift that is the same every day).

All the woots I've ever gotten have come from the Woot warehouse in Texas, not one of the Amazon.com warehouses, before or after the same.

Amazon.com apparently sells stuff from the Woot warehouse as gold box deals, but I haven't seen it go the other way.

I was pretty disappointed with the Woot Off. Little to nothing listed was something I wanted.I was hoping to get a good pair of headphones, Woot Off lights (I was hoping to get police ones), The Hulk panic button, an external hard drive, and/or Todd's Dirt Seasoning yet they did not show up at all.

The only parts of the Woot Off I liked were the Community comments and the stories Woot created on the product page for a particular item.

What can I say...I kept checking with hopes that the Pride Fowler Inc Rapid Reticle magnified scopes would show up as seen here:
http://moofi.woot.com/moofi/killshot

Maybe we will see them on Moofi again for a few days in a row?...please?

Thanks
