the server crapped out on my bid for crap... crappity doo da day!

I never thought that I'd be able to get Bandolier of Carrots, more less remember to click 3. I'm so ecstatic right now.
After clicking 'Buy', it tells me to enter my ZIP (missing). What? Never had to do that before, so I thought too late and just when I clicked Buy, I checked the site and it was sold out. Nothing happened for a few minutes (no receipt) and I wasn't sure if my order even went through. Anxiety attack, I tell you. It sold out in seconds, seems like it and just when I thought my order wasn't accepted after all, the receipt shows up for three BOCs. My first Bandolier of Carrots...

Wife and I got CrapX3. Yes! Snooze you lose.

After 17 minutes of "Processing" my order is completed for 3. *sigh of relief*

First time ever, :D

Well, actually, 12/29/2004 - 6/2/06 is LESS than a year and a half...

i bought my 3 with the wireless keyboard i got from my first woot. coincidence? yeah. i hope i get a remote in mine. i threw mine across the room in excitement.

Relax stephen, relax.... You're in. you got it boy, stay calm...

My pulse rocketed to 130, my blood pressure 150/110, literally. It's usually 70/50.

I just took my friggin' blood pressure with a monitor that I also got from Woot the other day.

CRAP! By the time I typed in my "card security code" & clicked "I want 3", it was 12:02 CDT, & I was too late. No Bushel Of Corn for me this time. Bummer.

WOOOOO

refreshed the order processing page for 19 minutes and my receipt just popped up. I AM SO FREAKIN HAPPY!!! This may just be the greatest moment of my week!!!

So many people unhappy but 1500 of us are so happy over a bag of crumbs! I'm happy. Can't wait to get the stuff and post but just making it through the servers is half the fun!

Haha..Maaaan that was fast.

It's 1:12, and my wife's computer in the other room is still refreshing, saying "We've reserved a product for you, and are now processing your credit card. Depending on how crushed our servers are at the moment, this should take somewhere between a couple seconds up to a minute or so."

We use the same credit card all the time to buy our Woots, and know it's still an active card. And we know the computer's working, and that our internet connection is solid.

So what's up with this connection, and this message?

Are we doomed to be Crapless?

Can someone help us out of this mess?

Wondering,
Honor

19 minutes until I finally got the message that my credit card had verified and that my order successfully processed.

I was panicking that something was wrong, but I left it alone, and now I have my confirmation receipt.

My first Bulgarian Olympic Committee ever. I'm so proud...

here's your receipt...
on 6/2/2006 , you successfully wooted.
order ********
You want 3
Random Crap

Why can nobody believe they sold out so fast? There were 4500 craps, which should mean 1500 sales. That's the average sell-out time for that quantity of crap, especially with the servers holding up like they did.

Boy am I glad my ISP just upgraded us to a 7Mbps connection (doubled our speed for free), Woot loaded lightning fast.

8% bought 1 1% bought 2 91% bought 3
Yay, people are actually learning now!

WTF?!?!?!? i just went through the whole processes and it gave me this error...

THE THRILL OF VICTORY!

Really though, it's hard for me to comprehend how finally getting a Bought Obsessively and Compulsively could be so exciting for a grown man....cheap thrills though.

Later

CRAP!

I had a feeling it was a bag of crap!

Crap, I Totally Missed It.

I Just Hit Myself Up To THREE (3) Times!!!!

I can't believe I finnally got the elusive bag o crap!!!!!!!!!!
Now I can go to bed at a decent time.

hahaha...and you would have paid money for it anyway??? Wow, in that case,
I have an entire back yard choc full of product to sell you!!! lol

Finally, my second 'you know what'. When you count how many woots a wooter has wooted, do you count the actual number of individual items wooted, or the number of orders wooted? So, would this order count in the neato bar graph as me having wooted once or thrice? Hmm, I've made 26 or so woots so far. You'd think I would know this by now.

Oh well, night all....and congrats

I know I missed it, its all gone, gone forever. The one day that I don't check woot within the first 1 minute of the next cycle, and it just so happens to be a Bowl of Chili.

I can hardly believe this! Its the old bait and switch. For a long while Woot was giving us regular crap and my interest began to fall off, but I was hanging in there. I came up off the wallet to spend my disposable income on useful items, but now I feel I was so jilted.

So, I will whine and cry and I'm weeping with joy!-hoo like all the other countless people who weren't able to place their order in the given window of opportunity.

Wow, the product was selling at 3 items per every tenth of a second!! outstanding.

Woot! Woot!

Curse you - security code! So close but soooooo far away.

This one went really smoothly...I just gave away one of my screaming monkeys, wonder if we can be sooo lucky as to get a fresh supply in this Bulgarian Olympic Committee!

My First WOOT!! Down for 3!! I'll be the envy of the neighborhood!! Come On Laptop!! :P

CRAP??!!!
DAMMIT! I'm in for three!

I thought it said CARP! Now what am I gonna use for my fish tacos? :-(

What a wooty week! First a Roomba, now I'm in for a Bag O' Crap! Or three! Or... whatever.

I was so excited when I saw the Bovine Office Chair that I forgot to change the quantity from 1 to 3. Oops! Oh well, I still get one.

Wow, first bag o crap for me. It took the woot servers like five minutes to process my order, but after I had given up hope it confirmed my order. Woothoo. I can't wait for my three bag o crap items.

I finally got in on a Bulgarian Olympic Committee...I feel like a dork when he gets his first real umm....good...experience. I feel like the girl that won the National Spelling Bee today, I feel like Ronald Reagan, wait, what were we talking about again....anyway, It feels like Christmas to get a Bag O' Crap.

AHHHHHH....this order status has been up for 20 minutes now! I hope it goes thru soon!

I sure hope not--my order did exactly the same,but my account shows I got 3
WOOT!!!!

my first day as a wooter. watched the site for a long time, finally decided to become a wooter and waited to 10pm, and reload reload reload....... but it's too late

66 cents tax on three dollar purchase what kind of crap is this

Unbelievable. My 1st experience with Breakfast of Champions Unfortunately it was like a bad trip. Maybe next time.

should just be a bit now...

I guess I'm out of luck. I don't get it. So many people are saying this time the servers worked flawlessly. Not for me unfortunately.

Check under "Your Account" - mine got hung up on the processing screen for several minutes, but it already showed as an order in "my account".
So, WOO-HOO, I'm in for three! My first Bottle of Champagne! What could it be? What could it be???

aww... I fail. Haha, better luck next time I suppose.

for everyone if it says processing or whatever you got it you just have to wait...so dont worry you got your BIG OLD COBRA

Got my 3 Babes of California! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

It has been over a year and 30+ items purchased but I can now say that I have my first Bulgarian Olympic Committee. What a great feeling after soooo many refreshes and server errors.

I will say the Woot server hampsters did well tonight... sure the Credit Card processing page refreshed for 12 minutes before successfully completing... but I have no complaints and my mind is at ease... not to mention it is only 10:23 now! Wooting is better on the West Coast!

For those of you new at it I can only tell you to keep Wooting and great things will happen.
