That'd throw the whole crap to customer ratio all off. If you have X ammount of crap that is devided by Z customers, and C is the crap sent to each, then as Z increases and X remains the same C becomes c (or less crap per customer)
And judging by my 3 items from the last Bowl of Cereal (1 completely worthless backpack, 1 camera bag, and a picnic basket my kids love) if C gets smaller we've have just ended up with 2 texas airs and an empty box.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeee #3 of all time

My first one was crap... my second one the "Adventure Crap" I got a portable DVD Player, the rest was crap.

Yay, my second Bowl of Cereal! The first was several years ago -- it had a sparkly disco cap, a camera case, and an insulated beer glass. Here's hoping this one will be even more glorious!

Finally, the Woot gods have blessed me

I can not believe I GOT ONE!!!!! R.A.N.D.O.M C.R.A.P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahem....

Thank you, Woot. You made my day.

My second Book of Crap! yay!

Yes! First the Happy Hour Box of Crocodiles, and another one today! Thanks Woot!

Not true. I have 60 users on a T-1 and happened to get one. Didn't even use a gallivanting alpaca like others do. I guess I was just lucky. Perhaps I can pick it up on the way home tonight.

YES! I got me a random Book of Crap! Makes no. 5... couldn't believe my luck on this one..it wouldn't go through the first three times and then suddenly it went

1st timer!!! Yay!

I scored one just by using the traditional old F5. Yay!

I still have "your order is processing." and the clock on the screen - should i give up? manual refresh?

Got one after years of trying. Did it manually too (no gallivanting alpaca or app)!

Got my e-mail quick too.

Yes, Yes, Yes! 2 in a row. Both me and my wife got one. She is getting her first Bowl of Cereal.

I remember those days!! She already can't sit still.

It's been an awesome series of days and this just tops it off

Sat: Graduate college! Watch out world I'm edumacated!

Sun: "Grad Party"

Monday: Office Ladies made me a cake! (I work with 20+ ladies over 60 whom all treat me like a grandson, and I love them all dearly!!)

Tuesday: More cake! DQ ice cream cake (clearly an attempt to the ladies)

and today: I am the proud first time winner of a Book of Crap!

Denied yet again!

I get no Crap, I feel no Love. I'm crying Buckets of Carrots.
Woot, you heartbreaker you.....

Again - 4 year+ running - nothing.
3 times after entering CC info - server returned error saying I didn't enter info, which I did.
Finally got to the last gold button and sat there for long time and returned error message yet again. Each time I entered my info quickly and correctly -- I got owned by woot!.

I wish I could say I'll give up, but I'm not that smart. I am pissed as hell when I see the "I use a gallivanting alpaca and could have gotten multiples" posts or the "I never buy anything but BOCs and score one every time" posts.

Ah well...not buying another damned thing until I get one, just on principle. My bank account will thank me.

Just got my first Bowl of Cereal EVER! Then my son just told me that he got one too!! Woohoo!!

After being so close SO many times, I got it! The last two or three times, I've gotten as far as "we're checking to see if there's any left, but don't hold your breath". But this time, I'm in!

Last time (almost four years ago), I got the coolest B of O C: a Bandanna of Catholicism. Really -- a bandanna with the image of the Virgen de Guadalupe, borne skyward by a little Mexican angel. I've never quite figured out what that's supposed to symbolize. I left it in the common area of the flophouse I was living in at the time.

Can't wait to see what fate has in store for me this time!

its been a while....i have got to the "doesn't speak to me to be you" page a quite a few times...but today...

I GOT ONE!!!!!

I love you Woot!

First try and I got one. I even forgot to enter the security code at first.

I got one, thanks w00t! looking forward to see what crap i get.

THANK YOU WOOT!!!!!

Same here. I thought I missed it, but...went back and there it was! First timer!

thedeezy wrote:Placed the order, didn't go through

Same here...it said "sale is out of stock". It was on for I think 5 minutes....seems longer than usual.

first Bowl of Cereal in an actual woot-off; thanks woot!

You should see a doctor

Dammit.... I clicked as fast as I could. This was my first time and it sucked.

jordguitar wrote:I dont trust a script on a site to order stuff for me.Also paypal is a good thing to have during a wootoff. password in and go

Wooters is not fully automatic buying. The only thing the site does is click the 'i want one' button for you - beyond that, you still have to complete the order directly on woot.com.

Woo-hoo! In for one...first one ever!

OK so I get to the very last page, click the button, and BANG..... got B**ch slapped in the face from Woot. "YOUR ORDER WAS NOT PROCESSED." Thanks woot, thanks....

rkenimer wrote:Wootalyzer - I know it bites the big one, but here is what you do:

Tell Wootalyzer to open the page automatically.

As soon as the page opens, change the "http" to "https" and change the "www" to "sslwww" and then hit enter, ONLY ONCE.

Wait an interminable amount of time and enter your password then hit the next 2 gold buttons.

The secret is that the SSL servers are faster because of (slightly) less load.

I don't do all of that jazz. I just use Wootalyzer. It brings up the Buy page. I enter my 3 digit CC security code and hit the gold button.

I have gotten in on 4 crappy bags and 3 of them have used this method.

UGH, mine is still processing...am i doomed?

Were there report cards a Bunch of C's?

First try, first score, first comment. Long time woot follower, first time obsessive crap buyer.

I will be happy with anything. I am in it for the adventure. But it a pallet of anything shows up, the people at my condo complex will not be happy.

Woo Hoo! And it's my birthday!
A birthday bag of cr*p. Just what I wanted. Woot, how did you know!

SO close to my first Bandolier of Carrots....

Oh well - here's to hoping for next time!

Got all the way to your order is processing and it should just be a bit now and it said your order is not in. I think I must have been like #3001.

First one for me after at least three years of trying!

This might make up for missing that awesome pocket knife during the last woot-off :-)

THANKS WOOT!!!!
