Same thing here. My guess - the Wootgods modified their order software to not kick back the "buttafuco" messages many of us got last time.

Ugh... this is so frustrating!!! I have been trying for ever to get a Brat On Crack and finally I'm around at the right time, get to the order page, it says its processing, and then no confirmation page at all... it just loads the meat machine!

Woot is the originator of One Day, One Deal. Every midnight (central) we launch an event: one sale that lives until it sells out, or the next midnight.
Here's your receipt...close on 12/1/2010, you successfully wooted.
order #########
You want 1

Random Crap
You ordered 3 Random Crap.
which each cost $3.00
for a subtotal of $3.00
plus shipping + $5.00
for a total of $8.00



I don't believe it! After all these years I finally got my Big Oven-roasted Critter!

I can die happy now!

Why does it say I ordered 3, but I want 1, im so confused!!!!!

They've simplified it...you used to have the option of ordering one, two, or three. Now everyone "automatically" gets an order for three...One order for three random craps. Is that clear as mud? Congrats!

This go-around, I think I will avoid the forum until after I get my bag so it's a total surprise. I enjoyed the adventure last time, but I had already figured out pretty much what I was going to get before my crap ever got here. So see you later crap-friends! I'll post the box size/contents when it gets here!

WOOT! FIRST Bundle of Cornucopias EVER! BEEN WATCHING AND WAITING FOR YEARS! I JUST RAN AROUND THE HOUSE A BUNCH OF TIMES YELLING "I GOT A Big Oven-roasted Critter".

I'm pretty sure the neighbors are going to be looking at me funny for a long time, but I really don't care.

Patience pays off everyone! To those that didn't get it today, good luck. I'm going to sit back and let other people get one in the future.

Best Christmas Present Ever!

Thank you WOOT! And sorry to all for the CAPS above, I am just very very happy!

Don't get me wrong - I was blessed getting so many. But I don't believe I'll be getting any more. (Sigh)

Same for me. I think Woot hates me.

25 total for me. None since April 2010.

Why is it that Central US has a higher percentage than the Northeast for the Bandolier of Carrots? Can it be my location that keeps preventing me from getting one? My last was in 2007.

Two in a row for me! Blessings of Christmas.

Ahhhh so close! My address state reset and so I had to stop the process to change it and lost the server.

Yesss I got one! So excited, can't wait for it to get here. How long do the BOCs take to ship/arrive, usually? :D

Looks like I'll be having Bacon On Cornbread for Christmas!

Doesn't Amazon have some spare servers that woot! could borrow?

I too understand that they have some excess capacity at the moment. Who cares, I GOT MINE!!!! For the record, 'Frosted Pumpkin' nail polish was the magic color this time. I wore it, I won a bandolier of carrots, I say it's cause and effect.

UGH!!! I actually had to do some work for about 15 minutes and of course I missed the Big Oven-roasted Critter. pumpkiny paycheck...

WOOOOOO HOOOOO!!!! Bag me up baby!!!! Lets hope for something to go under that tree!!!!

gggggoooooooooooootttttttttttt oooooooooooooonnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D

Those who ain't never got one, keep at it. Seriously, it took me forever to get one.

Took me forever for the first one then two back to back I guess it ia all patience

Of course I had to be on my way home from work when it dropped. I was underground in the subway and when I came above ground my phone couldn't get connected fast enough. FAIL.

Dear Woot,
I know we have had good times in the past and you would never do anything to try to hurt me, but I just can't go on like this. I know you will be sad. I know you don't deserve this. Do'nt worry, you will find someone else soon and you can yank BOCs away from them at the last moment.

I will miss you but I just don't love you anymore. Please try not to cry. You can keep the leakfrogs to help you remember the good times we had.

Server-crashingly yours,
Rombow

P.S.
I know that #@$!ing Amazon.com was hanging around while I was out, and I know what you two did together!

Dear SantaWOOT,

I've been a really good girl this year. Will you please bring me a Kindle or a new TV? If you can't fit that in your sleigh, anything at all would be wonderful. Thank you so much for all you do all year. You are the best SantaWOOT ever!

With lots of love,
Me

So, do you get three things(craps) for $1 or is it one thing(crap) for $3?

There wasn't a place on the order form to order 3.

Just wondering.

--Ariel

Before a bunch of us starts feeling all left out and dejected, remember...seriously, sometimes it's literally just crap.

Stuff you find in the "5 items for one quarter, 25 items for a buck" in some bin at the Savers (or the Goodwill, or St Vinny's, or whatever). Except this costs eight.

Sure, once upon a time, somebody got a large TV. Wouldn't fit in my living room anyway.

The ONLY good thing I got in my last BuffalO Coat was a little zippered digital camera case. Which I then saw at Walgreens for $0.99 on discount three days later.

Woot is wise. Commandment the Third: "Thou shalt take a moment to consider whether you might be better off just not buying this crap."

Woohoo, i finally scored my First..no 9th Box of Crayons!

Mine took what seemed like an eternity to process. I even broke my own rule and hit "I want one" like 4 times trying to get it.

Any chance we can get these by the 24th Woot?

can't hurt to ask!

The way the servers responded this go around makes me wonder: Did the woot lords setup some sort of DDoS mitigation to throttle connections after 3000 buyers were purchasing?

I'd say yes. Over the years, I've learned multiple ways to increase my odds. I've scored a Sack 'O Stuff from the last 5 wootoffs I've participated in, so I think I've got my strategy pretty much set for now. And NO, I don't use a bot or a Wootalyser or any other downloadable "app"-type thingy.

you havent even been a user on here for "years"..

Back in Ye Olde Days you could buy one, two, or three craps for a dollar each. People would get in a hurry and accidentally only order one and then whine to Woot! about getting a couple more. Woot! decided to make it easier on us (and their packing staff) and sell three craps for three dollars. You should get a bag/bucket/container of some sort and at least three weird items along with it. In the last post-Turkey Day Bundle of Cornucopias I got loads of great crap (Pink Panther DVDs, mini digital photo keychains, a solar phone recharger, dead-but-now-revived 8GB Sansa View, portable speakers and other miscellaneous goodies), way more than three items. Your mileage may vary, though.

the clock is still spinning but I got an Email - have I popped my Bundle of Cornucopias cherry?

i was on a streak with 3 in a row, now i have gone 4 with out any luck

Finally, after 2 years of trying I can join the ranks of the elite Big Oven-roasted Critter owners.

Yes, I'm a telecommuter also. So many benefits except for the insanity that comes from isolation. :-)

i have been waiting for this wonderful day for 3 years. thank you!!!

Damn snow and ice. If the roads weren't crappy I may have actually made it home in time. Alas, I get burned during my commute again. Next woot off I'm calling in sick.

kendalp wrote:Yeah!!! my second box of calenders!

Always look at the BRIGHT side. Won't your yule-tide be much warmer with that case of 2010 calendars to fuel your fireplace?

I stepped away to get some food. When I came back,the order page was open asking for my CC info. I was like "HUH?" last thing recall seeing is a coffee maker. OK, so I notice it's the famous Bundle of Cornucopias and thinks to myself, "Why Not! LOL" Slowly I type in the needed info, press that stupidly big button. I wait, not expecting anything.

I scored! LOL it's a miracle since I'm on dial up.

Gimme a break...all day and night. I wait for this....I go to the loo and miss it.....FOUL

Much congratulations are in order!

One of my co-workers snagged his first also, while myself and another co-worker snagged our 2nd (my third if you count the adventure crap). It seems having a set of Woot! lights running increases the likelihood of scoring...
