Submit again then... oh sorry, we're sold out.

Dude, the same thing happened to me. I WAS SO EXCITED I WAS GOING TO POP. Almost 5 years of trying and I'm still BoCless. The universe weeps for me.

Yayyyy!!!!

It's been a long dry spell, but this one went so smooth, I'm wondering if Woot has done something to reject the flood of bots. It took a long time to refresh each screen, but I got me a confirmation.

Thanks, Woot!!!

Woo, #4 for me! I've had a long lucky streak since September, after 4 years of none.

Once again I put off work only to be denied by the servers. 0 for 5 and getting pissed. Now I'm in the perfect mood to drive home.

Well ... it's a very sad day in Woot's backyard. :-( Was sitting here refreshing every second and when that beautiful bag appeared ... I hit the BUY button immediately. Got the the order page after waiting FOREVER and only had to enter my CC security number and submit. Sat here crossing fingers. Then the PAGE TIMED OUT. :-((( When I git it refreshed ... "This item is sold out". I'm bout ready to "split the sheet" with Woot. Have sat here ALL DAY ... for NOTHING! I could have driven to their office quicker than the servers are running.

BAD WOOT ... BAD, BAD BAD!!!

I Love you Woot for yet another Big o' Cosmos. As for the 2,976 customer in line for the Big o' Cosmos..... SUCK IT!!! I got the last one! :P

I really thought I'd get one this time, but after it took about fifteen minutes to process, it brought me back to the same order screen. I thought maybe I'd entered my password wrong, so I tried my other one I use for internet-y things, and it was denied, so went back to the original (correct) one, and got a "This sale is sold out." message. BOO!

That said, for those of you who got one, enjoy it!

Didn't get one but congrats to all those that did. May your life be filled with utter crapness.

Snagged it. The order confirmation page didn't appear for me, either, but I got the email and it's in my account as ordered.

Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Bag O Crap #4! Yes! Now if only there was something I wanted to buy in the woot off that wasn't a shirt!

WooHoo!!!

Scored yet another Bright Orange Catsup!

Damn! This was the closest I ever got to getting a Bag of Carrots. I had the order page up and clicked the gold button at the bottom, and it gave me an error because i didn't enter my card security code. Once I typed it in and hit submit, the page said that the sale is sold out. ARGH!

Woot, you so totally rock! I got a bag!

So to make it easier for you, I will take all of the pedometers you have left in the stockroom. Seriously. Send 'em over.

almostheaven- Thanks for supplying my woot off addiction been waiting all day. And it payed off.I TOO LOVE YOU.

Obligatory bragging about getting my first Beggared Orphan Child.

Arrrgggghhhh! I keep seeing them ... clicking on "I Want One" ... and then, nothing! Am I doing something wrong, or do the Woot Gods simply not smile upon me?

me too. and by the time I entered it right it was too late.

Thanks to Woots piece of schnitzel server, I HAD a Boggy Old Creature, the order page froze, the security code part for cc then came up, THEN IT KICKED ME OUT AND MADE ME LOG IN.

My co-workers better watch out. Now I'm a BITTER OLD CREATURE.

Got my second Big o' Cosmos! Thank you woot gods!

this is total bull. i have been on woot for two plus years and never gotten a Big Orphaned Cetacea. i had my chance today but for some reason the order form would not load up. i went back to the home page and tried it ten time and would load up for me what was up with your wacked out site???? so guess what i did not get ::::! i am a little mad from 1-10 iam a 13......

First Big Orphaned Cetacea in almost 2 years and second ever.
Woot! is the best!

Until next time, when I am shut out again.

But right now, my life has meaning.

Lucky #7 for me.

Wooo, I just scored my first Bag Of Curry after missing out on the last three!

Not meaning to gloat, but I got right in, hit the first button and then got the something isn't right message. I had to re-enter my CC information (maybe cause it's a new year?). I still managed to score a Big Orphaned Cetacea, even through a very slow office connection. It's amazing how hit or miss this is.

Thank you God and Woot! I finally got 1 Bucket Of Candy after nearly 4 tries!!! Interesting to see what comes in. Congratulations to all the grabbers.

i wish i had a video camera with me - my excitement over landing a Big o' Cosmos was uncontrolable - it would have gone viral - like little kids watching justin beiber.

i got this:

yikes, there's been a server error
Something on our side of things went wrong. The site could be overloaded, or you may have tried something we didn't test.

If you get this error page consistently, we'd love it if you'd write us, telling us exactly what you did to get the error. With any luck, we'll fix the problem, and it'll work the next time you try.

Click here to go to our home page.

My Box of Cheerios cherry has been popped after four years of Wooting! Was really, really pessimistic when the buy button wouldn't work, and then thought I didn't enter the payment info quick enough, but just got the confirmation email. Now I have to run out and buy my lottery tickets!

Nooooo !!!!!

SCORE! Phase1 complete. Now on to Phase 2.
The waiting for the shipping notices and box specs.

what has anyone ever got in a Big Orphaned Cetacea? what was the best thing?

Yeah. We need to stop these 4-5 PM CT or 5-6 PM ET random crappings. They exclude all of us who actually drive home from work instead of staying at work hitting F5 until our wives call and say why are you still at work? And then we say because it's a WootOff! and then we get hung up on... Grrr.

darrylk wrote:Yup. Wootalyzer (and probably others) didn't recognize it, so they didn't alert their masters and/or bring up the buy page. I, however, still managed to miss it.

Wooters.us didn't work either but I got it the old fashioned way. My second ever!

Got to the Big Gold Button, then it said...sold out...crap is right...

Just got married this Saturday... and now I got a bandolier of carrots... best week EVER!

Then I get to the comments page and there is only 1 comment showing ... Holy Crap Batman!

It's been soooooo long since I got in on a Big o' Cosmos, I didn't think it was possible from the Left Coast anymore!

ROFL--I had 4 orders open. The last one just now accepted my password to tell me it was sold out.
Typical

crap crap double CRAP!!! Grrrrrr, was sitting right here when the ole Big Orphaned Cetacea listed, got to the verification page and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz server @#$()@^%*(@#$) by the time it went through I got the dreaded "item sold out" message. CRAP! Glad for those of you that got one, but dang what a let down. I'm going to go cry in my beer now.

lf4tune wrote:Wow ... twilight zone time ... I actually not only got my Big o' Cosmos, but had a 2nd order page opened up ... could I have ordered 2X ???

I also managed to get my order in and then get mostly through on a second order page, only to be told that my account had already ordered this sale.

I LOVE seeing Woot! tell me I can't order another Bag of Crap because I've already ordered.

Yay, Bag number 14 for me!




(Now I have to redo my Wootage Strip)

Congrats to all who got one.

Me too--that's what I get for getting distracted and doing my job for five minutes, dang!

*shakes fist at universe*

I can't stop staring at it ... the billing info page ... with those tiny, tiny red words at the top:

"This sale is sold out."

SO CLOSE! SOOO CLOSE!
