So, didn't get one this time. My first bucket of chum came in the Feb. woot-off, after three years of trying. Don't give up, and remember - it could be absolute gristle. You might have just saved yourself eight bucks.

My first bundle of cartigans didn't have much, but we installed the flush light and made use of everything else in some way so as not to anger the woot gods. In my opinion, it's the trying to win the bag and - if you're lucky enough to get one - the mystery that you're paying for. Anything else is a bonus.

The only other thing I'd add is next time I won't watch the forums after the items start shipping, so it will be a complete surprise. I feel like having a good idea of what I was going to get diminished the fun just a tad, but only a tad.

Anyways, I'm going to go prepare my sacrifice so I might win one of the next ones.....

Finally after almost 3 years I get my first Bunch of Crepes!!!! Woot!

I got screwed over today. That's it. I'm done with woot.










Until the next chance for a bunch of carrots.

Man, stupid work, keeping me away until 9:30.

Gave up on bagel or crepe ~ Now just need a monkey. Will there be one?

2nd Bag of Cheerios, but my 1st "legit" one. 1st one was Santa's Sack. So excited. I try(and try, and try) every time and finally got it! Thanks Woot!

I truely beleive that they have a method of blocking your account from ever winning a Bunch of Crepes again if you send in a complaint. I get to the order page and click on this info is correct....and then nothing. I know I am one of the first to click on the buy it now, and there should be no problem with getting in. I also know that I am not suppose to complain about not receiving one, and be happy for the ones that do, (which I am happy for those that reap a Bunch of Crepes)but I have played fair, and now as so many others have complained about, I beleive I am through with this process. Thanks for the great deal WOOT, thanks for the Bunch of Crepes's I did receive, thanks for the many items i've purchased from you as a loyal Wooter, but my gut tells me you are deceiving my IP and intentionally dumping me at the doorway.
Its been fun.
Sad to leave ya, and I am sure that one less customer means absolutely nothing to you...but the time has come.
Ohhh and P.S.
By word of mouth over the last year, you have gained approximately 75 customers from my positive chatter.
Be well and ROCK ON.

What's really sad about this is that the whole woot experience is kind of like Vegas...sometimes you hit and more often than not, you don't. Throwing a fit won't change matters in the least. It's a game..that's it. Enjoy it for what it is or make room for someone else.

I can't believe it! It says I'm the proud owner of a Sack of Crapo - my first born! Whoo-hoo Woot!!

And for me??? I GOT MY FIRST bagel or crepe!!! Hope it more than a bag of dog turd on fire.

LOL...I'm hoping for the same thing, but the fun part was the waiting.

Finally after years of waiting I randomly got a random gristle bag!

Yay me!! I got mine with a bunch of F5s and some lucky timing on a creamy and delicious old laptop with an extra creamy and delicious wifi signal!

I Got mine for the first time in almost 5 years! Thank the east coast Woot Gods!!!

Thank you, Woot Writers, for such a compelling and entertaining product description. We may not read it before mashing the I Want One button... but I always return to read it after the servers are back up!
Woot!

Finally the wootoff gods have blessed me with a Bunch of Crepes!!!! Been a member for just over 2 years and after countless Bunch of Crepes failures(server crash after clicking buy, or lag sellouts) I have my very own Bunch of Crepes. whooooohooooooooooooooooo

How about that ride in? I guess that’s why they call it Sin City (hahaha)

You guys may not know this, but I consider myself…a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one man wolf pack. But when my brother introduced me to woot, I knew it was one of my own. And my wolf pack, it grew by one. So were two…so there was two of us in the pack. I…I was alone first in the pack, and then woot joined in later.

And 8 hours ago, when woot introduced me to you oh bagel or crepe. I thought…wait a second, could it be. And now I know for sure, I just added 1 more gristle to my wolf pack. 3 of us wolves running around the desert together, in Las Vegas looking for TV's and Laptops. So tonight, we make a toast!

I hope you like ;). my 3rd successful gristle! Last one brought some pretty funny stuff, I've definitely enjoyed playing with the slinkies lol. Look forward to getting this one woot!

Spreadsheet? <-- when will the spreadsheet be made and available to us?

So if you say it is indeed not a bot I ask you what part of the wootalyzer a program which is used on a computer that has been programed to continuously gather and updated information from the site woot.com (which is a fantastic site btw) make it not a bot?

I gotta agree with DullOxide on this.

If Wootalyzer only opened the BASE URL of woot.com I would disagree because then it wouldn't be much more than a browser. However, since it does the initial "I Want One" for you, it IS a bot. So what if it doesn't do the other steps (code, info is correct, ridiculously large button). It is in motion as any other bot us. It just doesn't perform the same number of steps.

BOOOOOOOO! Got all the way to the order confirmation screen, but it never happened :-(

I was going through some Bunch of Crepes videos and this one guy gets a MAC pc and is completely ungrateful....

ahhh that british humor. :-)

I was lucky enough to get one

Well, after 2 years and wooting over 100 different items, my mom got her first bagel or crepe. I have been lucky enough to get 3 in my Woot time but this is her first.

Needless to say, she is excited.

What I did yesterday...

1. Found out about woot from lifehacker
2. Registered for the site
3. Clicked "I want one!" once
4. Got a Bay of Campeche!

It's all downhill from here

Anyone know when we will be able to track by reference? Is it not usually until people start getting their tracking numbers or is it before that? Also I asked before but I don't know if someone saw but is there a spreadsheet yet? If so whats the link to it and if not when will one be created?

Woot packer, woot packer pack me some scrap.
Something that works, sure would like that.
Woot packer, woot packer sort through your scrap.
And find me some scrap I'll use.

Well, today - is the first anniversary of scoring my first ever BОC! And to mark it properly, woot gods have blessed me with another one last afternoon!

I'm glad to be back in the game after several very near misses on the past few (did get X-mas sack, but not the last few wootoff ones)...

Congrats to all who scored one yesterday, and those who did not - do not give up. Despite some of the rumors, the BОC's do exist, they are real, and you (yes, I mean YOU) can get it if you try hard enough, and have a bit of luck and a good Woot karma!

And now to the waiting game!
Ah... feels so good to be back!

I'd be grateful for the money I could sell it for on ebay...

This was my 1st Bunch of Crepes and I was beginning to think it was the near impossible to snatch one. I know the feeling you get when you almost get it, but then find out it has sold out. I can sympathize with those that are frustrated they missed out this time around. Still there is always next time and eventually you will get one.
The Woot gods were shining on me this time I suposse

Ah, so you got the pink backpack and two army men from 3/27/09 too eh? Same here. I hope it's more random than last year's, but will still be happy regardless.

Looking forward to my Bucket of Cockroaches! First one.

Finally got one after trying for a year. Waiting for the some gristle to show up.

It'll be interesting to see what everyone gets.

digitalpussi wrote:It'll be interesting to see what everyone gets.

Yea, same here. I can't wait until a spreadsheet/wave gets set up and we can watch it on there!

how many people here have decided to not follow the Bunch of Crepes thread and just be surprised? i remember one guy doing it during the last gristle bag, and i'm thinking about doing it for a change.

i can't remember who that was, but i'm wondering if that experience was better or worse than following along obsessively...

No no, not the backpack. The infamous Xyron bag (still yet to figure out how to use it after a year). And three army men, plus a few bluetooth thingies... But along with that one came my crаp #2, which I scored a few days later, and that one was a very decent haul! So I was happy...

Here's a link to my first two crаps for those interested...

Woot!

Me too. For a minute I thought I had missed the "real bag" since they phrased it so interestingly.

I am really blessed! I am 2 for 2 on Bunch of Crepes!

I have no idea what the key to my success could possibly be. I do not have any secret.

I just want to thank my brother Jerry for bringing me back to this site and teaching me about the wonders of the Woot Off and the Bunch of Crepes.

Thank you Jerry on today your birthday for being the best brother and best friend anyone could ever hope to have. I love you and I miss you and I pray for you everyday. God bless you.
