Wine Woot is really the only woot site that has something that I can't get elsewhere for about the same price.

Agreed, the past few craps that I've gotten have been less then par. But its still fun and usually I get something thats worth the 8 bucks.

I am EXCITED for this Bee-Oh-Cee! It is my fourth and when I went back to my purchase history it turns out that my last one was almost exactly one year ago (8-20-2010). I've never gotten anything super-duper amazing, but some stuff we have used and some we have given away. The fun is worth 8 bucks!

Like some others, I haven't received a confirmation e-mail but it is showing up on my account history so I should be good to go!! I'm going to have to shore up my willpower and stay outta here until I get my package because I don't want to be spoiled!

First Woot! and first Bundle of Crops Had multiple tabs open and actually had a couple of them make it all the way to the "buy it" button. After clicking the button it only took about 3 or 4 seconds until the confirmation screen came up.

Wonder which one I will receive first, my Bundle of Crops or my 7-ft tall Ben Wallace .

Its been a while since I got my last one.

Here's what I am looking forward to in my bag:

1. Hp touchsmart core i3 23" all in one pc.

2. Pentax K-7 Weather Resistant 14.6MP Camera & 18-55mm Lens.

3. One of those TOMTOM GPS's, the last one I got (Referb TomTom 510) in a random crap served me really well, and now the battery on it has died.

Woot's golden rule is: "Ask and you shall receive."

Inflatable Ben will come first. They don't ship the baggies until all the Woot Off items are shipped.

You can stand Inflatable Ben out by the mailbox to wave down the mail carrier with your Bundle of Crops

Congrats on the first Bundle of Crops Here's to much more crap in your future.

Anyone else notice the Shirt Woot back to school special? You can get some of the shirt woots put on a tote bag or the Mystical Yellow "?"

Yup, same here. The confirmation page actually never loaded for me.

Getting my crap! And my miracle fruit to help wash it down!

First Woot! Off........... Check
First Woot!................ Check
First Bindle of Carrots... Check Plus!!!!

The bag....the bag is not the destination, it is the journey. Getting to purchase the bag is much like being the sperm to fertilize the egg. What comes out over the course of the journey varies by each individual. Will the egg grow into a presidential pallet? A doctor desktop PC? A lawyer large TV? A mass-murdering nutjob constructed entirely of high school musical clocks, a stray power supply cable, some non-functioning sansas and last year's desktop calendars? You never know until you reach the end of the journey, and really, as with life, it is the journey that matters.

But if I get the mass-murdering nutjob, suffice it to say I'll be looking to trade. :D

The confirmation page pretty much never loads during Bundle of Crops.

But mine did. However, I still haven't received a confirmation e-mail... It is there under "My Account", though.

Don't screw with me, woot!

Worst Case Scenerio for the Bindle of Carrots:

1) Since HP Just Cancelled WebOS - The WebOS tablet from last week (Consolation prize is that you can actually install Android on one)

2) Augen's been dead for months now - any of their products

That's two of the three Items for the Bindle from Heck....

Maybe one of those Sylvania "laptops" that runs Windows CE for the trifecta of Electronic crap!

Or one of those 'hello kitty' pink High School Musical Clocks?

I thought you were making stuff up, but you're right. WOW. I'm amazed how fast they ditched WebOS. They were supposed to put it in everything from printers to a fast startup partition on all their PCs.

I have a question about that. My account says that I have purchased a Bundle of Crops on 8/17/2011. However I haven't received a confirmation email. Should I worry?

Nope, happened just this afternoon. It would have been a great use for this little OS but HP couldn't justify it in a down market. Too bad. They could just stash it in a GB of ROM and have a print server in an entry level printer and have a nice differentiation over the competition.

I guess they just didn't have that vision thing.

I like your thinking!

After much thought I have decided I don't care so much about the Crap....it's all about the bag! Soooo.....Leather would be nice. I prefer Lucky or perhaps something nice from Forzieri, nice soft Italian leather. Or I could use a new Mobile Edge laptop bag. Suede or leather. Brown or tan, not really that picky. Just thought I'd let you know :-)

If your account says you purchased one, you purchased one. It's your receipt.

Check you email address on your account - maybe there's a typo in it.

Also, make sure the email address is functional. I have two gmail addresses and forward ALL my email to one account. On occasion, one will be disabled (someone hacked it or something) and I don't notice.

No worries, you Bindle of Carrots is on its way.

Cant believe this hasnt shipped yet! ughhhhh.

Kidding of course. This is my... 6th Bundle of Crops I believe. Generally never get anything too special but its worth the $8 just for the surprise.

One Word - SmartPost.

If I "mis-remember" right, it's about a week before they get out in a big way. They'll send out a few first to keep us entertained with what shows, and we'll get them between 2 and 3 weeks depending where we are. I'm expecting 3 here in Sunny South Florida.

Hey, I'm just happy they're still doing this! The whole woot-off thing is fun to watch, the Bags are icing on that particular cake.

I feel so excited to have gotten my first Bundle of Crops And the funny thing is I didn't even try like crazy like I have done in the past with Wootalyzer etc. I just was sitting at work, bored and I said "I wonder what's on woot right now" I clicked, there it was, clicked I want, filled in my info, waited, waited, CONFIRMATION! Turned a pretty rotten day into the best day ever!! Thank you WOOT!

I am completely overjoyed about getting my first Bundle of Crops and for those people who are discouraged, all you need is luck. There has been a time or two that the bag went up right after my lunch break or when I was in class or when I took the dog for a quick walk. it was just luck that I got this one. I did like the post about the whole notion that you ask and you shall receive... but getting the Bundle of Crops in the first place has humbled me enough- I know woot as always will just be awesome!


(p.s. Woot gods a xoom would be awesome)

My first Bundle of Crops as well. I've tried to get it 2-3 other times, but it was either sold out or the site was too slow to get it. This time I was checking all the WootOff items and decided to restart my computer. Right when it got into Windows, I opened a browser and went to Woot and saw that the Bundle of Crops was there. I clicked the I Want One button and waited like 5 minutes before it went to the next screen. Then filled out my info and waited another 5 minutes before I got the confirmation screen and email. I wonder if you got through the initial click they reserve it for you or they only check after you enter all your information and click the big button.
If this mentioning thing is even remotely possible then I would like a TV or Monitor and a Motorola XOOM please =D Just don't give me a pallet of 100 bottles of car wax. I don't even think that would find its way up to my apartment and I wouldn't know where to store it. Probably just tell a repair shop to pick it up if they want it for free.

I know what you're thinking Woot, "What's he going to Bust Our Chops about now?" Actually, just a suggestion for a new statistic: # of first time buyers of the special Smurf edition Blue Oreo Cookie. It seems like there are quite a few this time. Maybe I am wrong there, this is my first Bottle Of Champaign and hence, first time reading this Buyers Only Chat.

Thank you so much for this opportunity, forever you and Amazon will be my e-Commerce Brands Of Choice. That being said, please don't send me a pair of Bright Orange Crocs or an obsolete video game like Burn Out City. This is my first time tasting Brie On Crackers, so make it something special: iPad, iPod, internet ready TV, etc. How about it? Buddy, Old Chum?

I never did get a confirmation e-mail, but they charged my account yesterday so I have no worrieeeeees!!!

Second blinged out cabbage for me! so looking forward to it. If only I could get one of those letters... It's like getting a golden ticket!

I'm crossing my fingers for 9lbs of mustard and a bunch of caulk!

Seriously, 3 screaming monkeys would be good for the kids Xmas stockings this year...

... I'm not too picky... I would love a PC, TV, or tablet- but 3 monkeys for my 3 monkeys would make me happy.

I remember Bindle of Carrots #2 back in 2004 - it consisted of various spare bags. the Bundle of Crops these days seem to consist of stuff bought for Bundle of Crops use, not so much stuff that is warehouse sweepings.

You know, I was actually thinking that the Xoom has shown up a few times, so it would be really swell if (a working) one showed up in my baggie.

The first time I read about people getting pallets of stuff my wife said, "you have to stop buying those!" While a pallet of electronics would be amazing, a pallet of action figures would be a lot of fun too!

I will never forget my first bag...85 Texas keychains. I gave them to my students who are at the age to get permits and take driver's ed. They thanked me, but were slightly confused as we live in Iowa.

Good times.

My first Box of Cheese so I'm really looking forward to getting one! Someone actually send me a Bag of Chocolate once with some air baggies and assorted fun stuff. Getting a Bundle of Crops.. it's a good bit about the journey, but the prize sounds intriguing as well! Just need to wait for it to get to the other side of the country now :P

How do people seem to know which number bag they got? I understand first and last from the woot numbers, but something in between? Please enlighten me.

I got me some crap again. I love me some crap and the crap which I get will be loved!

They're referring to the number of baggies they've personally received. For instance, this is my sixth Bundle of Crops so I say, "Bindle of Carrots number 6 for me."

It has nothing to do with where we stand in the line...although the April Fools Day thing did have "levels".

if they made Forrest Gump again Forrest Gump would say "Life is like a Bindle of Carrotss from Woot. You never know what you're gonna get."

1. Roomba

4. Fathead Tron Graphic

5. mberry fruit tab
