Ummmmmmm..... Pulchritude means good looking, comely, attractive, etc. That purse is freaking HIDEOUS!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think it's positively, pretty purty.

USPS site says: Your item is out for delivery at 8:30 am on December 18, 2010

My mail usually arrives aroung 4:00 - 4:30 so I should have my box of wooty goodness later today.

w00t!

McGurk wrote:Did people go off on the buckets they got? The purses were bought, just like the buckets were, for the purpose to fulfill the "bag" part of the deal. How do you know the rest of the stuff isn't "laying around the warehouse" as you say? I don't see many people buying these ornaments, clip lights, or digital keychains. If it's not getting purchased during woot-offs, it would continue to lay around the warehouse. The "crap" part is therefore fulfilled if you get (3) items (which it seems some here have been stiffed).

Would you rather have opened and broken sansas or miscellaneous charging cords? One could obtain those for free by dumpster diving at a radio shack, I suppose.

Don't like either the bag part or the crap part or the concept of your Bag of Coal? Refer to the posting you quoted.

My bag and my crap:


Pink purse
2- Leakfrogs
Red Digital Photo Ornament
Digital Keychain
Sony reader cover
No air
No letter

I got the same exact crap, even the so-ugly-my-husband-DARED-me-to-carry-it pink purse. Plus I got three(!) bags of Texas Air :-)

I am happy with my crap lol

Anyone else notice that the Leakfrogs came with 4 AAA batteries, but the frogs require 3 per frog?

Underneath the LeakFrogs I got three (3) wrapped double AAA batteries. Maybe they forgot the third one in your Bag of Coal.

Aren't you able to detect the irony? Even if it is buried in alliteration?

dlazz wrote:Anyone else notice that the Leakfrogs came with 4 AAA batteries, but the frogs require 3 per frog?

Look under the other green warden of watery doom. There should be another package of two batteries there. Expect six in all to distribute between the two frogs.

got my standard BB OO CC. I'm gonna wear my wookie hat around and make chewbacca calls.

Got mine today- The good news is I got it before going on vacation. The bad news is that it's just Bag of Coal assortment #2:

- Hideous sequined white purse
- 2 digital photo keychains (entirely too large to be a reasonable keychain)
- 1 GPS Sun Visor Mount
- 6 Tech Lights

0 bags of TX air, 0 letters... 0 Leakfrogs

Well, I'm still in for next time!

Just curious... are there any stores where I can return some of this crap? The sony reader cover to Borders?

My 1.6lbs 12.1 in. x 9.21 in. x 4.8 in. Beautiful Outlandish Coiffure netted me:

2x Todd's Dirt
2x tech lites (both dim and barely working)
1x AC-to-car charging adaptor
1x frostbitten black rhinestone-encrusted purse

I'm going to come right out and say it, this is the worst Bag of Coal I've got so far. First, I've already purchased Todd's Dirt from Woot in the past, so I really don't need any more. Second, two non-working techlites? Really?

I was really hoping for the Leakfrogs and/or ornament that others were getting...

Oh well, I'll continue blowing $8 every time a Bag of Coal comes up...with all this horse manure, there's gotta be a pony in here somewhere!

1.1 lbs Departed fedex 12/10.eta 12/15. three days overdue, Worried I won't get my Bag of Coal by Christmas if ever. other 1.1's don't even have leek frogs, keeping fingers crossed for letter.

Well got my crap today....
1x Sequined fuzzy Dark Copper Wookie toupee
1x Blue Digital Picture Keychain
1x Red Ball Digital picture Ornament
1x Sony ereader Leatherette Cover
2x Leakfrogs
2x Bags of Tx Air( 1 fully inflated, 1 barely inflated)
0x Letters
Thanks WOOT!! Happy Holidays everyone!!!

Staples...

I got the usual:

Green Purse
2 LeakFrogs
Digital Photo Keychain
Digital Photo Ornament
Sony reader cover

Not upset with that at all, next time I just won't read the forums in order to remain surprised.

The leak frogs came with batteries?! Crap. I threw away those boxes after I took out the frogs D: !

Just thought I'd pop in to say I got my 2.9 lbs of crap the other day. My husband and I decided to wait til Christmas to open it though, so I guess I'll be back in a week to report the contents! Merry Christmas all!

Same loot here minus the snowy picture setting.

Anybody want/need the Leapfrogs? I'll send both for $11 to cover USPS Priority Mail. Paypal gift please as I'm not making any money from this. PM me

1x Penguin ornament
1x Picture this Ornament
1x Sony E-Reader cover
2x T1 Series Tech Lights
1x Rhine Stone Purse (non fuzzy)

I got the exact same, standard issue crap. The round ornament is gold colored and my 2 Tech lights are red (both work.)

As for the purse, it's the same as this one, except the one I got has a white background.

It would have been a lot more interesting if there had been more variety in what people got. For me, following the forum and seeing people's reactions to their crap is more than half the fun. Even so, I'm quite satisfied with what I got.

I really wanted the penguin ornament, so I was very happy there was one in my bag. I can give away the other ornament and the purse, and I might find a use for the lights. Really the only thing that was of no use to me is the e-reader cover, and it can go to Goodwill along with a bunch of other stuff I have been saving up to donate.

All in all a good Bag of Coal. Thanks Woot!

2x picture ornaments
1x Sony E-Reader cover
2x T1 Series Tech Lights
1 horrendously ugly purse

My wife loves the picture ornament, and we're going to use the other as a Christmas present. The lights could be useful. And the e-reader cover will make a useful white elephant gift. All in all, a decent haul.

Merry Christmas all.

Oh, it was a banner fscking year at the old Bender family....

1x Black Beaded Purse with gold trim
1x Universal AC Adapter for GPS Chargers
1x Digital Photo Keychain
2x Tech Lights

1 x Purple handbag
1 x AC to 12v socket universal charger
2 x Clip on LED flashlights TOOLLOGIC w/screwdriver and pen
1 x Todd's Dirt Seasoning
1 x Empty bag

Finally got my Bag of Coal!

======================

Having gotten such a killer Bag of Coal the first time around I probably used up my allotment of wooty goodness.

My Bag of Coal this time was a bit underwhelming but I don't really mind that. I just didn't like getting the same crap as everybody else.

I got the exact same haul, but one of my Tech Lights lost a screwdriver on the trip. Not a huge haul, but a couple Xmas gifts worth, thanks Woot!

USPS says my Bag of Coal was delivered Saturday morning, my apartment office doesn't have anything.

I got 2 digital photo ornaments, 2 leak frogs, a Sony e-reader case and a pink handbag. Seems like they substituted a hand bag for the brown paper bag to hold the craps. I wonder if UPS/USPS noticed that the contents were listed as "1 Random Crap?" In transit the package grew from 3.3 lbs to 3.4 lbs. I'm happy and it added even more fun to the holidays. Thanks and Happy Holidays to the WOOT staff! Looking forward to wooting in 2011.

Got mine today

1x Ugly Black Beaded Purse with gold trim
1x Universal AC Adapter for GPS Chargers
1x Digital Photo Keychain
2x Tech Lights

I was beginning to get worried I wouldn't have time to re-gift the items.

Makes my xmas shopping a little easier

Thanks Woot!!

Not typical of other, past letter recipients (and that may be a good thing!!), but a nice stash just the same. Maybe this is the first in a series of random shipments to you? I'm jealous of the woot! tape.. Wanna part with a roll?

Congratulations again!

FUN! I hope that you have a few more shipments to come. (I get unnaturally excited about these things and always cross my fingers for something super awesome for the recipient.)

I bet a Smart Car could be shipped on a pallet...

RebelTaz wrote:Well, I'll be getting mine tomorrow I suppose. Tracking says it was transfered to the Post Office today. Not very hopeful after reading the previous posts, but my girlfriend will be excited if we just get an empty box - she's easy to please that way!

On a side note, I think my package lost weight somewhere on it's journey across the country. Must have been all that walking it did. It started out weighing 4.4 pounds according to the tracking information, but by the time it got to the USPS, it had wasted away to a mere 3.0 according to the updated tracking info!

I'll post my contents (or rather the boxes contents - no one is interested in MY contents!) as soon as it arrives...

Ummm.... judging by the pouty face that my gf made when she tore open the Woot box, I guess I was mistaken! She was quite disappointed. Me more so because of the complete lack of randomness to our "RANDOM Bag of Carp"... Of course we will continue to hunt for that elusive Bag of Coal letter...
