My wife has already claimed the pens -- she's an oncology nurse and finds it incredibly difficult to keep others from walking off with her pens, during the course of the day.

These have a metal snap clip on the top, so she can clip it to her badge.

As an aside, I told her about Freeskier's 30+ boxes and KayBoss' 760+ action figures and she was mildly horrified at the thought of a garage/driveway/house full of scaffolding.... Then I told her about the PS3, and she again supports my Woot!ing.

First Boggy Old Creature after 3 1/2 years of trying:
weigh: 4.9 lbs
dimensions: 16.7 in. x 12.6 in. x 10.9 in.

Radio controlled double rotor helicopter & 6 AA batteries

Official Star Trek Bubble Head vinyl figure of Spock

EzyFlare Emergency Electronic Flare & 4 AA batteries

Polaroid CD I1035 Digital Camera Software (but NO camera), plus a user's manual for said non-existent camera.

American Tourister fanny-pack Photo Bag that might fit the above-mentioned camera if there was one.

Crayola colored paper tablet (20 blank pages)

Not awe-inspiring, but nothing broken and a chore to properly dispose of, and nothing totally useless, except the camera software & manual, useless to me, but if anyone got the camera and wants them, let me know.

how do you post picture on here? and I will post my Boggy Old Creature thanks

Would it be worth it if I bought a power cable for the Zune? To see if it works.

I got your Zune box, cords, and earphones. Let me know if you would like them for the cost of postage.

If you go to www.instructables.com and search roomba, I believe, or roomba battery, there is a how to do it yourself instructions in replacing the bad battery. Usually it is one of 8 as I recall that goes bad, and it is normally the second one in the series. I am not trying to promote anything, just trying to help someone salvage a possible awesome roomba. Woot instructables doesn't sell anything that I am aware of. If you donate I think it just gives you video access on how to fix things, but can't swear to it. Hope this is okay to post.

Good luck, and Merry Christmas!

Thanks, I'll check it out!

I'm THRILLED to have been a part of this, let alone getting BACON SALT!!! Totally made it worth the price of admission! Fun stuff, and an awesome Boggy Old Creature!

Thanks Woot!

:O I'm jealous of the bacon salt! I always miss it during the woot offs!

Woo! I got my Bald Old Curmudgeon this morning! It weighed 11.5 lbs:

6x '?' bags
5x model planes
3x machine polish
2x camera cases
2x Spock action figures
2x Capt. Kirk action figures
2x NFL football handheld games
2x Fact or scaffolding booklets

I am a happy person! Thanks for the haul Woot!

Also, Congrats to the person with the letter. If you haven't already, it would be nice to donate some of those toys to Toys for Tots, but it's your call. Merry Christmas (and/or other holidays and festivities) to all!

Edit: Whoops! I forgot to include the machine polish!

My 7.7 lb load arrived yesterday, one day ahead of schedule.

2 -- 40 GB Maxtor HDDs (dated 25Feb2004 & 08NOV2003) not sure if either one works yet. One of the drives has a few IDE pins bent, but I think I can straighten them out.

Overall, a pretty good haul of junk. Thank you Woot! for the awesome present.

Anyone ever try running Recuva or a similar disk recovery software on these mysterious harddrives that are in most scaffolding bags? Maybe it's just the evil in me, but I'm curious if anything is on them...

Bag of Cheer weighed in at 9.9lbs.

7 - Flying Aces
4 - Victory Waxes
2 - Fact or scaffolding Quiz Books
1 - American Tourister Photo Bag
1 - Star Trek Spock Vinyl Figurine
1 - NFL Handheld Sports Game

I have already sold the following:

7 - Flying Aces

1 - NFL Handheld Sports Game

For a total of $10. NICE!

Thanks WOOT!!

Woot there it is!

Anyone have the KT-HDP1 to go with the antenna? I'll take it with a trade or take something of yours as trade.

Hope to use my Linux box at work and try getting the E260 working. If I am successful, I will post results and steps.

Holy scaffolding! I just got my Sansa e260 to work! It had the blue ring and nothing else when you turned it on or plugged it in. Here is what I did: Took out the 4 screws on the back case. This will reveal the battery. Above the battery there is a black rectangle just below the hold button. It's maybe 1 inch by 3/4 inch. I read on forums that pressing on this resets the daughter board and can help. I tried this last night and heard a click but still nothing. Today I was going to try firmware updated and everything but Linux wouldn't recognize the player no matter what I tried. I thought...well, let's see what's behind that black rectangle. It's just a sticker so I peeled it off and there was the daughter board. I wiggled it a little with my finger and lo and behold, the screen turned on when I hit the power button!!!
Hope this helps at least one person out there.

Edit: scaffolding, it locked up when I tried to send music to it and the screen is dead again.

Double edit: Had to reseat the board again. It's actually the top edge that pops out. May have to figure out a way to fix this permanently.

Just want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season and a good New Year.

Enjoy the carps from your B O C, as I have begun to enjoy mine.

BTW, it is interesting that as of this morning, both my Woot square box and Deals.Woot triangle are both purple color. Maybe during 2010 I can move them both to black.

I am going to bet nothing really other than maybe some DRM'ed video files. My $8 is riding on that they are out of DVR and DVD recorder units based on the sizes that are being sent out.

I posted earlier w/ my baby of the cosmos contents. My 3.5 year old daughter claimed my Kirk & Spock figures, and she has renamed them Bob & Dee. Apparently they are quite the acrobats. :D

Also we tested the Sansas. The 2GB appears to work, but the 1GB and 4GB we aren't sure. The blue ring lights up but not the screen. Also we don't have the proper cords for any of them, so need to look for cords.

OOh, I am jealous of the person who got some bacon salt. I make some great baked beans with that bacon salt in them, yum! We got 2 bottles of it in our last Boggy Old Creature.

Oh, and I feel so bad for the poor kitty who got a toaster burn. Hope kitty heals well!

Great, sent private message. Thanks

I will try latter today and post the results.

everyone enjoy your Boggy Old Creature i know I am

Has anybody received any Bacon Salt or has Woot finally exhausted its lifetime supply?

Anyone want to trade a Spock for a Kirk?

SLCfan wrote:WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING!!!

If you got a toaster - DON'T plug it in when there is ANY chance of things going ugly. I plugged mine in when my cat was nearby. Sparks shot out of the toaster and did this to my cat...

That is not cool at all. I would most definitely contact Woot about that.

As far as my bag, I received a RMAed Philips DVD Recorder. It's complete piece of scaffolding. I have it opened on my desk and trying to fix it.

Whats worst is that the way the lady returned it is the way I received it. Including her email letter back and forth with Woot that has her Name, address, email address and phone number. Talk about a breach of privacy.

Woot... not cool at all.

Here are the only item that I received in my Boggy Old Creature...I thought I would get at least THREE crappy items....



Not sure if it will help, but I will write an email to Woot asking about buying 3 items.

Got my haul last night. Package was 6.5lbs and 12.9^3.

1 - Funko Spock Figurine
1 - HD Radio "Do It Yourself" Car Kit
1 - iPod cable
2 - 250GB WD Caviar Hard Drives - 1 is DOA, the other appears to hold data, although I would not put anything of any value on it.
1 - American Tourister Camera Bag
3 - Sets of earphones, two new, one is very well used.
3 - 4GB Sansa e260. 2 aren't working yet, and one is working fine.

And lastly, 1 foam earpiece - invariably for the used earphones.

My fourth Boggy Old Creature and no complaints. Thank you Woot.

It arrived! My very first Woot.com bag!

1x Star Trek figure - Kirk
1x Star Trek figure - Spock
1x American Tourist photo bag
1x Notebook Cooling Chill Mat - bag opened
1x 2 hour battery charger w/ 4x AA & 4x AAA batteries + car charger (sweet!)
1x Twister savings bank - package opened
1x GFM Digital Camera w/ waterproof case (sweet!)
1x package of Braun Oran B toothbrush heads - Chinese/Japanese packaging

A few Christmas gifts, a camera - though the phone I just got is probably a better one... - the rechargeable batteries were a very pleasant surprise though. :D Maybe next time I'll get some MP3 players or Bluetooth headsets - or a TV. :P But for a first bag, I love it.

My haul:

1 x spock vinyl figure
1 x excalibur pro form football ("hear the crunch of the players when they make contact"!)
1 x fact or scaffolding: it's your call book
2 x victory wax machine polish #3

I'm happy with the star trek figure, but don't have any use for the other items... will be glad to part with those for the cost of shipping, if you do.

I didn't receive any bag, though! worth asking woot gods about this?

just as a side note:

of the 3 8gb Sansas I got, one of the them had alot of music.

one had the ENTIRE PINK FLOYD COLLECTION from what I can tell. Thats like 450 songs in 28 folders...

Just pretty cool if you ask me.

PS - one sansa will not go past boot screen, ideas???

Try reseating the board inside.

Yeah, read my post 10 above or so...

somethingwitty wrote:I contacted woot about how the Bungled Operation Corpses are packed and what I was told is:

They have tables and shelves loaded with items, each employee throws stuff into boxes. Some throw more, some throw less. Then when all the boxes are stacked up they print out labels and put them on boxes. With the obvious exception of the box with THE LETTER.

It really is luck of the draw, except for the LETTER but I would assume that's randomly selected.

Hey thanks! I always wondered about the process. Oh to be a fly on the wall of the woot warehouse on Bad Old Cinema packing day...

counter22 wrote:1 - HD Radio "Do It Yourself" Car Kit

If that's everything you need to have HD radio in your car, I think that's a great item. I was interested in trying HD radio until I found out I would have to buy a new dash unit and spend a couple hundred, too. That was a year ago, so maybe prices have dropped. I'm guessing you'll need a JVC unit for that Car Kit to work. Best of luck to you.

You are correct in that you need a Tuner as well. If you look back a few pages in the thread you will see someone received the car kit and a new matching tuner. I'll probably end up just trying to craigslist the kit I received.

on one of my 8gig sansa videos, the power switch just slides up and down with no resistance. i thought maybe the spring inside was broken or missing. i opened it up and it looks like the little internal tab that the outer switch hooks on to is missing, i can see in the little slot that the spring is still there. has anyone ever seen anything like this? basically the sansa is stuck "on" all the time.

YAY! It's a Christmas miracle - my delivery on smartpost was changed to Dec 26th but it arrived today. It is my very first baby of the cosmos:
2x Captain Spock vinyl figurines
2x Captain Kirk vinyl figurines
3x Victory wax
5x "Fact or scaffolding" books
2x NFL electronic handheld game
6x Alpha Force Flying Aces model airplanes
24x Woot ? Giftbags
3x american tourist camera bags
3x crumpled tissue paper

Needless to say, I am very happy with my haul!
Don't know how to post the pic - sorry.

Thanks Woot! and Merry Christmas!
