Sorry, but there's nothing legal about camping out in the left lane. The left lane is for passing, not cruising. The fact that it's rarely enforced doesn't change its legality. Or its rudeness.

On the Ohio turnpike you can get a ticket for cruising the left lane.
Ask me how I know that.

Now, can we put out the flame and get back to the crap at hand?

ok. So, looking for some help.

Not wanting to jinx myself...

but I have a 1.0 pound, 18 in. x 12.6 in. x 12 in. package being delivered tomorrow (7/27), according to FedEx.

The pounds/dimensions have not changed, the delivery date jumped up by one day yesterday, but now shows it'll be here (Nevada) on Wednesday.

I guess my question to the panel is, have any "you know whats" been contained in a small poundage package, and, has anyone else out here gotten such a light package, thus far in this parade?

Thanks, in advance. I will be sure to update.

Ok, I am reading a lot of complaining going on. I have paid a measly 8 dollars and in return I have had this feeling from when I was a kid, waiting to see what Santa has brought me for over two weeks.

I really don't care what I get. The anticipation has been wonderful.

Thanks Woot for giving us such excitement.

Just to chime in with what my son and I received.

My Box:
2x strawberry planter things
1x black and white bag (standard)
1x Fact or Crap Dare game. (Funsize)
1x kid sized shirt.

His Box:
2x strawberry planter things
1x black and white bag (standard)
1x Fact or Crap Dare game. (Funsize)
2x kid sized shirt.

4.9lb and 5.2lb respectively.

I'm just hoping mine gets here today, scheduled for tomorrow. Really Just hope I snag at least one strawberry planter.

4.7lb, 18x12x12

So got my Bindle of Carrots yesterday. My 9.5 pounder had ...
1- Skyfi audio xm system (I'll try the mod later)
1- small squirrel driving a mech terrorizing forrest creatures shirt.
1- upside down strawberry planter.
1- floral pattern reusable bag.

Thanks woot for the crap you have bestowed on us. Look forward tonthe next crapstatic adventure

Kinda dissapointed that the planter came seedless. Oh well gift for someone

It's too late to plant anything for this year, anyway.

How do you know that?

you generally start strawberries with purchased plants, rather than seeds anyway. I suspect Texas Ag Dept has restrictions on sending live plants over state lines.

Mine should be here today.....come on mail dude/dudess

I am seeing odd Smartpost behavior. My woot orders used to go through Denver a couple years ago, but for 2 years have gone through Kansas City. Now this Bundle of Crops has gone through Denver, to Henderson Colorado, and then to North Platte, and shows as in transit to my town. Today is the original estimated delivery day, but that had changed the day after shipment started to the 28th. I have to say thank you woot and smartpost for keeping us on our toes. 4.5lbs supposedly.

I am happy with the small shirt because my 2 year old daughter can wear them as night shirts and at some point when she is older as normal shirts.

My Bundle of Crops is now delayed 3 more days to Washington State. Was supposed to be delivered tomorrow (7/27). Waiting patiently for the 13.6 lbs. Hope it good!

My Bundle of Crops came in today, the mail carrier made a special trip.

FedEx description 16" cubed 26.4 lbs
actual Box 19.5" x 19.5" x 34" 25 lbs

1 T-shirt womens S Almost Too Complicated
1 Strawberry planter
1 Pair Harbinger paddling glove XL
1 Discovery Keyboard Box smashed, loose items.
1 AC/DC USB adaptor use unknown, smashed box no instructions, or idea of what else was in the box
1 Creative brand small zipped case
1 Box ShamWoW (box smashed)
1 Case Cuisinart Folding BBQ Tool 4-Sets
1 Black and White reusable Grocery Bag

Overall my best crap ever. I don't know if I will use any of it, but I have some Christmas gifts ready to go and you never know when you might be stuck up a creek without paddling gloves.

Like all my craps, box opened and rummaged through (this time from the bottom) because of all the smashed boxes hard to tell what I missed.

Got my 6.1 lb Bucket of Chicken! Let's see..
Bathroom scale says 4 lbs.

• a black and white grocery bag,
  
• 2 Topsy Turvey Strawberry Planters
  
• Fact or Crap Dare
  
• 2 watches with swappable wristbands (4 bands in all)
  
• a small women's t-shirt (Illustrated Ratings Guide)
  
• IcoSoKu (Youtube Video)
  

my 5.6 pound Bundle of Crops came today, I received:

1 polka dot reusable bag
2 topsy turvy planters
1 small Disapproving Narwhal shirt
1 Honey-Do "What's your pleasure?" poster/checklist
1 Fact, Crap, or Dare game
1 Skil 21 piece ratcheting screwdriver set
9 Texas air

Thanks woot!


Also, this is a dumb question, but since this is only my second Bundle of Crops I don't know protocol. Both my Skil set and poster had sticky notes with red dots on them. Does this mean..anything?

clide wrote:Alright, thanks for letting me know.

Hopefully someone can test these out without pictures. Once we find out what works I can update the how-to with the complete steps.

What we are going to be doing is shorting select pins on the circuit board to hopefully break something in a way that allows it to work like mine. Please do this at your own risk, and it is especially important to have your audio input be something that wouldn't upset you to break.

You need to have a small piece of solid (not stranded) wire with both ends exposed for this. I just used a twist-tie with the ends stripped.

First you need to remove the main circuit board. There are two screws holding it in and one machine screw and nut on the antenna jack. Remove all those and it should just slide out.

Then you need to find the amplifier. This is the long chip with 15 pins that is attached to the large side of the heatsink. Pin 1 identified by a small circle on the front of the chip. Find where it is attached on the bottom side of the board and keep track of pin 1.

Try the following on the amplifier chip with the system plugged in and the audio source running. If it starts working just stop there and do not do any more steps. Also let me know which step it started working on. Again we are just doing this with a small piece of wire one thing at a time, no soldering needed.

Hold the wire against the connections on the back of the board to connect pin 7 to pin 8 (for reference pin 7 is ground and should have a big fat trace running to it that is connected to a bunch of other things). Try for a couple times just to make sure you are making a good connection. Next try to connect pin 4 to pin 8. Careful here, pin 4 is live with about 15 volts and will cause sparks when connecting to pin 8. Try this for just a few seconds at a time and for just a few times.


If none of that did anything then we need to move on to the dock connector. This is the long flat connector with a bunch of little white wires coming in and a red and black on each side. You should have access to all the pins coming out of the connector before they go into the board. For this one leave the power plugged in, but unplug your audio source.

Hold one side of your wire against the outermost pin on one side (doesn't matter which side). This is live with about 8 volts I believe. Avoiding the two outermost pins on both sides (where the red and black wires come in) connect the other end of the wire to each of the other pins for about a second. Two of the pins adjacent to the outer ones (numbers 3 and 4 if we were numbering the connector from the front) should cause the speakers to make a loud pop when connected. Go back and do it one more time just to make sure you got them all.

Plug your audio back in and test it out. If those steps didn't do anything then maybe I just got lucky and did something accidentally, or maybe you did get a broken unit.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Dude you are awesome! Someone get this man another quality post!

I replicated your steps like so:

First I removed the main circuit board removing the two screws and the machine screw and nut. For those looking to do this, take off the battery cover for access to the machine screw. Then the board just slides out.

After identifying the amplifier chip, I used a twist-tie with the ends stripped and had the system plugged in and source running, I held the wire on the connections of 7 and 8. Nothing happened on this step, I tried it several times a few seconds at a time.

Then I connected pin 4 to pin 8. Pin 4 is definitely alive, it sparked, it sputtered, and it worked! I now have a modified system that I can hook into with everything I've tried!

Thank you so much. Now the only question is if you can figure out a way to control the volume with the mod. Is that even possible? Thanks again!

EDIT: Also should be noted that I had done your previous step of soldering the 5 pin chip.

It's probably TPW speaking to you in morse code and/or braille, trying to tell you that Woot apologizes for the inconvenience and that your final item will be shipped separately from the rest of your craps.

Kidding... I'm not sure what these indicate, unfortunately.

My Big Old Crustacean should be here in a couple hours or less, who knows maybe I'll get these notes too..

Probably not... If the items are whole and working, your good.

I once got a note saying sorry for the open box, the item was used for the picture in the sale.
(my little AC/DC converter was famous for a day!)

Here's a wierd one...

Normally when I check the fedex tracking it would state an invoice number with the item. With my baggie its blank... Missing some data??? Anyone else notice this on their tracking?

Your item is out for delivery at 8:55 am on July 26, 2011 in KLAMATH FALLS, OR 97601.

Should be here before noon.

I'm on the other side of the hill near Medford. Best I can tell, no crap for me today! Maybe tomorrow.

My eagerly anticipated first Bundle of Crops arrived this morning. In the 5.9 lb box I found:

1 Fact or Crap Dare game
1 Chickens playing Chicken t-shirt(child small)
2 Topsy Turvey Strawberry planters
1 Black polka-dog shopping bag
2 Zero Germ UV Toothbrush Sanitizers with Toothbrush

fun fun!

Thanks woot!

Bundle of Crops arrived yesterday... mostly similar...

2x Topsy-turvey planters
1x Black recycled / reusable bag
1x Child small gojirawk shirt (nice!)
1x Fact, Crap or Dare game

1x Ninja NJ200 Warrior Hand Blender!

Thanks Woot!

Got my bundle yesterday, and I see that at least one other person got this same combination:

1x Delphi SkyFi Boombox, return, sans power supply and cables and manual
1x Small "Procrastinate" shirt
3x Wisp mini-brush 8-packs
1x reuseable bag
15x Texas Bags o' Air

For those who want to mod the SkyFi boombox, here's a link to an article with pinouts:

Might help; I have mine apart already.

I've been crapped!

My (alleged) 5.7 lb crap contained the following:

1x spotty tote bag
1x Fact or Crap game (funsize)
1x strawberry topsy turvy planter
1x Perfect Blend glass teapot and Primula tea variety (flowering, I believe)
1x small green Charlotte's Ribs shirt that won't fit me
9 bags sweet birthday-scented Texas air

I love it all, Woot. I hope you enjoyed your birthday as much as I did, and THANKS for not sending me baby stuff!

Great! Thanks for letting me know. I'll try to update the video to show this step.

It should scale from quiet to very loud with the volume adjustments of a normal audio device.

It's not really possible to use the volume adjustment knob on the boombox because all it did was send a signal through the dock to the XM receiver which told it to increase volume. So it doesn't do any adjustments to the amplification of the audio, it just tells the receiver to adjust it's audio levels.

BTW for those who are curious what we are doing by connecting pin 4 to pin 8. I believe we are breaking the standby mode of the amplifier chip so that the system doesn't have to detect that the receiver is in the dock to start amplifying the audio. I'm sure there is a more elegant way to do this that doesn't involve frying part of the chip, but I'm not knowledgeable enough about circuits to figure out that method.

Ugh... My crap arrived today. And boy was it crappy. I got:

1 Fact or Crap game
1 Woman's Small t-shirt with donuts on it
1 useless XM Radio receiver
1 flower covered bag

Also my XM box was beat to hell and ripped open with a receipt for Best Buy taped to it. I don't even understand why Woot got these... I guess they just made a bunch of money off suckers thinking their bags wouldn't come with broken/defective products.

Strange smartpost... my package went to Denver before heading to California. It's never done that before for any of my woot packages. My delivery got slipped back another day to Saturday. Seeing what everyone else has gotten is killing me!

If there is anyone who doesn't want their Delphi SkyFi Boombox thing I'd be extreemly grateful and would happily pay shipping costs...

4.5# contained:

1 WS Skinny Rinsin shirt
2 Topsy Turvy Strawberry planters
1 UV Toothbrush Sanitizer
1 Polka Dot Bag

Thanks Woot!

4.5 lbs

1- polka dot bag
1- car charger minus tips
1- small girl shirt
2- kids scratch game
0- air from home


My tenth bag was the crappiest - happy birthday woot

So I received my Bundle of Crops today and I couldn't be happier! Well I could, but only if I got a letter. Which I'm pretty sure I didn't. But nonetheless, here it goes:
4x Mp3 chargers
2x Times kids shirts
-One has a viking ship going up against a dragon wave
-One has little costumed creatures going through the forest with many monsters
6x Color Rub thingies
1x Tote bag
1x Baseball card that sounds suspiciously like my name.

All in all, a great haul. I thought the card was great, and the nephews loved the shirts and color kits, although we put 5 of them away for Christmas.


The kids on the right and left were rocking the shirts, and the one in the middle has the wrist and headbands from the last Bag, all with their drawings.


The baseball card players name is very close to my name.

All-in-all, its not the high-tech, super expensive stuff that makes the crap into a treasure. Its finding out yourself and the people around you can derive enjoyment from the crap you get! Thanks Woot!

wow you got me beat... at least there appears to be a way to make my radio work. Those charger tips are expensive.
