Remember a couple years age when BOCs were being shipped with lots of Sandisk MP3 players in various stages of working? I guess they found the boxes of charging cables that went with them. LOL at all the Sandisk cables being sent out in BOCs. My applause to the Woot Gods (though a pallet of Sandisk cables would have been funnier)

The only things that it doesn't fix is when the sever crashes and when I don't get a letter

Yep, that fixed it! I'm back to one again. Thanks! Now, what do I do with this sack?

1 Rival Vacuum Sealer (Way Cool!)

and... this thing





FOR THE LOVE OF WOOT, WHAT IS IT?!?!?!?!

If it's a cell phone cradle of some sort, I have no idea why it would be useful. Also, I resized my pics to 640x480 before I uploaded them, but Woot seems to be making them bigger, at least in my preview. Any idea why?

But most of all, what in tarnation is that thing?

I believe it is a cradle for an external hard drive. Seagate, I presume.

lindsjer wrote:Makes me want to go against my word about bothering them again and ask them whats up with my crap again!

I have to say I'm with you. This is very un-wootlike for woot... They have been quite inconsistent in their replies and resolution to the shorted crap fiasco of 2011. My box had 2 six packs of grilling planks (in one sealed box) and a bag.. They told me I should consider myself lucky that I got 12 craps. I have since contacted them , and asked if Bucky Balls would constitute 216 craps, and then contacted them again with a little less sarcasm.. None of my emails have received responses.

Very disappointed, woot. Your service in the past has been second to none...

Then this.

I've just sent the Gods another missive, explaining how we have become disenchanted... But then a thought came over me...

Those who were "short crapped": did you get your crap fair and square by playing the game, or did you use the short-cut link? I actually DID use the link on level 10, received 2 6 packs of grilling planks, and was told I had 12 craps... Just wondering if you bath set recipients used the back door, or struggled through the game....

The Woot-chat column is 600 pixels wide, so you need to go just a wee bit smaller. Inside the square brackets, instead of IMG put IMG=600x400

I got mine fair and square. Took 10 minutes at 6am.

My 7.4 pound crap gained a tenth of a pound and will arrive on the 18th. I must be one of the last people to be getting it.

Random crap level 3

1 recycled pet bag
2 sansa data charging cables
1 laptop swivel spindock and...

1 GI JOE complete series dvd set (17 dvds, opened but mint condition and complete, retails for 149.00, not too shabby)

sorry for the double post if it occurs

10.6 lb level 9 stuff, purchased using cheat link...

1x worst bag ever made, black and white stripe
2x headphone splitter things
2x 180's earmuffs
1x snowman digital picture thing
2x Woot! grilling planks
1x complete display of strawberry bags

best of the three I have gotten over the years

Got my first Big o' Cosmos today. Level 4, 11.1 pounds. I love how unique it was compared to others. I think they get this stuff from a flea market because I don’t remember seeing any of this for sale on their site.



Everything was packed inside this bag. Looks like it is a laptop bag. It has two compartments. One on top for various things and one on the bottom that looks like it's for the laptop itself. Bag looks new and came with a sholder strap.



Inside of bag. This is how it was packed.



World's largest gummy bear (4.5 pounds) with handwritten note.



Handwritten note states, "No one in their right mind should eat this. -Threepiecewoot 4/1" I guess that's their idea of a warning label. I love that someone took the time to write this and draw the skull and bones.



Computer speakers (I'm guessing), no brand or any label at all, and a mini mouse with some company's logo. Looks like they were pulled straight off some Woot staffers desk. Anyone missing speakers or a mouse over there?



Autographed Brock Lesnar card. Circa 2003. Sorry for the blurryness.


Kurt Angel autographed TV guide. Circa 1998.



The Hockey News magazine. Circa 1997. This was hidden in the bottom compartment. Sneeky, Sneeky Woot.

No Texas air. It was pretty well secured in the laptop bag.

World's Largest Gummy Bear - $25
Kurt Angle signed TV Guide - $25 (Ebay)
Hockey News Collector's issue - $9.99 (Ebay)
Random Speakers and mouse- $1 (I'm guessing)
Stylish laptop bag - $10 (Guessing again)
Brock Lesnar card - pricless (according to my son)
Handwritten note - priceless


All in all, not to bad for my first score. I didn't get a letter, but that's ok, I'm still happy.

Thanks woot!

7 lb Big o' Cosmos level 2 contained

12 packs of Texas air
1 small black and white striped tote bag
2 packs of wood planks
5 tabletop tripods
1 box of aqua globes
1 SongBook mp3 playing hard drive enclosure, no software, won't boot, won't interface with Vista or XP

No complaints, at least it wasn't 20 sets of earmuffs!

Thanks! The COA was in the middle of the book. I checked online and apparently "Who's on First?" in Boca Raton, FL closed several years ago. But I did find an article in the Sun Sentinel that confirmed the Autograph signing with Mick Foley on Friday, December 10th, 1999.

That note is signed with the name that normally signs "the letter".....maybe there is more to it than just a warning about eating the coolest piece of candy I've ever seen???

hmmm, last post seems to have been lost.

12 packs of Texas air
1 box of water globes
5 tabletop tripods
1 striped tote bag
2 packs of wood planks
1 Songbook mp3 player/hard drive enclosure thing from 2005. Internal battery won't charge, it won't boot, it won't interface with either Vista or XP, I'll try Windows 98 later.

At least there were no earmuffs.

LTU99 wrote:That note is signed with the name that normally signs "the letter".....maybe there is more to it than just a warning about eating the coolest piece of candy I've ever seen???

I've only seen one Woot letter with that signature. The rest I've seen say "Woot gods". Plus they are on Woot letterhead and are not cryptic. Mine is on a post it. I didn't think I'd get a letter in my first Big o' Cosmos. I'm still happy though. It would be funny as hell if you were right.

Edit: Scratch that, I've seen two. But more of them say "Woot Gods". I am honored though, to have gotten a handwritten note and drawing from him/her. Oh and the comment, "coolest piece of candy I've ever seen" made me lol.

Received my first Big o' Cosmos yesterday, how much fun was in the box? 7.0lbs!

12 packs of Texas air
5 tabletop tripods
2 packs of wood planks
1 box of waterglobes
1 small striped tote bag
1 Songbook mp3 player/usb hard drive enclosure circa 2005. It doesn't boot or interface with Vista or XP, the battery won't charge and there is no software, so it's basically a paperweight.

No complaints though, at least I didn't get earmuffs!

I did send a Thank you note to service@woot.com. That note made my day. lol

24 cedar woot planks
2 laptop turntables (lazy susans)
2 sandisk charging cables
a really cruddy bag made out of eco junk
a golds gym bag
a huge digital photo frame by makushita (or somthing like that)
a bunch of air...

Hockey, Wrestling, and a gummy bear, Oh my!

My first Big Orphaned Cetacea, level 3 (does that really matter) 8.3 lbs...

2x 180s Ear Warmers... great for the upcoming spring and summer
3x Nuby Baby Bottle Drying Rack... perfect for the bachelor who don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies!!
2x Woot Cedar Grilling Planks 6-pack.. may be decent for the upcoming spring and summer
1x Black 'n White striped crappy Recycled (Refurbished?) Tote Bag

Really, woot?? This is what I worked my fingers to the bone playing that...game for???

Well I got my level 8 Banjo of Consternation--been trying for years to get one, but this was my first. Contents of the 2.8 pound box: 1x the Black and White Bags many are getting (mine is quite a small one) 1x American Hometex 50X60 Throw (Blue Rhapsody) 7X Sandisk USB connector cables (for the Sensa?) 1X Nancy Kerrigan trading card ("Why?!?!?!") I recall someone else got one of those trading cards. Those who were a carp short mayhaps should expect a trading card in the mail...

Anyway, I very nearly bought the throw when it was on Woot previously, so I'm very happy with mine carp.

Oooo, I get an extra 0.1 lb and a few fractions of an inch larger box! I wonder what that will be?

Exactly the same weight and dimensions for me. Wonder what we're getting!!

My level 2 Crap showed up today. I got:

10 bags of Texas air
1 1:24 scale eXtreme Drift RC car, works
1 Carson Magnifree 2x 'hands free' magnifing glass
2 Tripod Guru table top tripods
2 3 packs of Woot cedar grilling planks
1 Recycled PET zebra print tote.

I've got a 3 and a 4 year old, so it's been a huge hit. The love the magnifier and RC car. Thanks Woot!

Edit: ok now fedex is messed up... It said it was at my local post office, and I need to pick it up but 6 hours later it left leetsville PA (I'm in NY)... I guess I get to pick mine up tomorrow.. If it's still there :S
