Got me my Bowl of Cereal! Number 5, I believe. Please, Woot Gods, no more Jonas Bros. stuff. And I don't need another set of Woot-Off lights.

You don't always get the crap you want, but sometimes you get the crap that you need.

3000 BOCs??? That's a lot of carp going out.

Yay for my second Bottle of Chardonnay! I got it straight through Woot too, no Wootalyzer or Wooters for me! (And a little help from Twitter).

You do realize that it's crap, right? It's some worthless crap that they throw in a box. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you only get three pieces of crap. Other times they go nuts and send you 40 pieces of crap. That's worse, because now it's up to you to dispose of the huge amount of crap that they should have thrown away themselves.

You should consider yourself lucky.

Sat on the processing page for a while until it took me to a blank white page. Nothing showing up in my account and no emails. Ughhhh. Why do you treat me this way woot!?

My first Bowl of Cereal, super psyched, cant wait to get it!

Dear Woot! Gods,
Thank You for my third Book of Crap. I am forever grateful!

Did you manually refresh or wait it out?

My third official Bowl of Cereal - been over a year since I scored one (which had a nice Roomba in it) - can't wait to see what I get!

You and me both! Oh well, maybe one of these days...

Just to piss all of you off that never get one...I've made 2 purchases off of woot...and so far both have been Bowl of Cereal!

Sorry Hope my crap is craptacular!

Book of Crap #2...nice! Second in a row too!

Hector I am ready for the ski trip!

BTW - I missed it!

first random crap for me ever. success. I wanna know what the best things people have gotten in their crap has been. mine so far... corn. yet this is my first random Book of Crap so here's hoping for better.

Thank You WOOT Gods!

This is so wonderful that I can be this excited over crap!

I feel like a kid on Christmas Day!

Any chance of seeing a second Bowl of Cereal during this Woot-Off?
I snagged this one, but wouldn't be suprised if there is a second one.

Kept on hitting the refresh button on the item previous to the Bowl of Cereal as it showed sold out. I had a feeling the Bowl of Cereal was next because the Bowl of Cereal always appears between the hours of 3 - 5 CST. I hit the I Want One button right when the Bowl of Cereal appeared. It kept on taking me back to the original page rather than an order page. Is it Woots fault or Microsoft's since I was using IE Explorer. All I know is that a Bowl of Cereal landed on my head but not in a good way.

This is weird, I saw more then 4000 sold 10 mins ago and now the summary shows 3000!!! I wonders whats going on!!!!

mattboyslim wrote:Definitely not the case. 150Mb connection and I bombed out today, even hit "I Want One" within 20 seconds of it coming up. 3 years or so, and only ever 1 for me.

agreed... it has nothing to do with the speed of your connection... i got a bag a couple of years ago while on a broadband card (slooowwww)

Was going to be my first I am a Bowl of Cereal virgin, but I digress, after "processing"... it was NOT in. I will see you again wootoff, in the mean time a new Breville Coffee Maker might help my pain... I'm just saying;)

How many items come in just one Book of Crap typically?

DogBoneDMC wrote:What gives woot?? I got through to checkout and Big Oil Container was in cart just need to click gold button then I did then I get

"This sale is sold out.

Your order is invalid (code: no lines)"

So it should be that if I make it to the checkout screen I am in and I can take a few minutes to figure out how to pay for it (although my info was all filled out except for darn security code) but apparently the checkout screen is no gaurantee? Come on THAT is a Bunch O Carp!

Was so excited now I guess I am empty handed still? no way...

Exact message I got. The "invalid code: no lines" was because I forgot to enter my password (paid by paypal). I clicked on button and realized it then typed my password and clicked button again, sold out. I was so freaking close!

Had the same experience as GuardianBob. Happened to refresh the page while I was near the MacBook, saw it was available, and a few clicks later I got the email. So, y'know, um, yay me.

Woo Hoo!! Got my first one Ever, Been trying to get one of these for years!

man I would like to get just ONE bag...I mean really..so many people getting 5 or more? is it my ping time or something??? WHITE TACTILE FLIPPERS!!!

tashman wrote:Easiest crap ever. In fact, the whole woot-off seems to be running more smoothly than usual. Did woot do a server upgrade?

They've been coming up about 30 minutes earlier each time.

And you guys can thank me for this.. I went to the store and it came up. @#$%^&!!

well, I smelled it but couldn't step in it

Still stuck on "order processing" and nothing has showed up in my account.

I think I'm doomed. Doomed, I say!

Oh well, at least I got this far -- it took so absurdly long for the order pages to load that I was pretty sure I'd never even see the stupidly large button. I'd like to apologize to my desk for pounding on it in frustration as I ran through my vocabulary of curse words.

GuardianBob wrote:Just wanted to say, I secured my 8th bag of crap the good ol' fashion way. Refresh Page->I Want One!->CCV->OK->Stupidly Large Button.

Proof, you don't need any other tools to secure the prize.

It's true. I got my previous two that way. This time I used wooters dot us but only to hear the alarm sound, it was all manual after that!

ktgoss wrote:If I'm not mistaken, it looks as if they sold twice the normal amount of craps....3000 vs. the 1500 seen in previous crap sales. No?

I noticed that too. A weak B..O..C.. is better then no B..O..C..


Thank you Woot Goods. I wasn't really expecting to score, I had looked away and when I looked back, I was shocked to see the order screen, but everything went smoothly. I knew all the good karma I was storing up from not complaining about all the missed B..O..C.. would pay off.

P.S. Would you please offer the Kitchen-Aid gadgets one more time, please?

in there like swimwear.. woot!

Let's try something new. Instead of running all 3,000 at once maybe we could split them up! 500 here, another 500 there. What if radio stations gave all their concert tickets away with one call? I'm just sayin'...

I got my first one!!!! Thanks WOOT!

Gatzby must have found a good deal on several pallet loads of REALLY carpy stuff this time.

BWAAAHAAAHHAAA I haz Bacon Over Canada! Must be good karma for buying one of those exercise sets.

Damn... Just missed it! Guess I can't complain, cause I got the last two.

Got one with Wootalyzer! Opens buy page and I had to fill in pasword. Was surprised how fast it processed. I got conformation email within a minute.
Thanks Wootalyzer!
Third bag in Three Years.

Why don't you just make it so only people who have the fancy programs to capture the Book of Crap can even see screen when it comes up?

You've locked ordinary Wooters out of all the fun of a Woot-off.

Agreed. Stuff like this steams me.
