Got back to my desk from a meeting as it came up. Got to the Big Gold Button and had to go to another meeting. Left it spinning and got the "success" email while in the meeting. Woot!

Hit the Info is Correct button... wait wait wait. Time-out error. No email. Boo... I was there at the frickin first second too.

That's it. No more!

7 years and no Bundle of Crops This time I had two PCs and a smart phone and still did not even make it to the order screen.

Then I see people on YouTube opening thier 6th, 7th, or 8th Bundle of Crops

No more I say!

I feel like I'm ordering ten club tickets from PJ.com. On the page the second they're available and nothing but time out errors til they're gone. Oh well, gratz to those who got them.

Seriously. even with frantic F5-bashing, I never get to see it, because the servers get so suddenly overloaded that NOTHING happens.

On the rare instance it gets to show the picture before it sells out (usually not), I then get to wait for it to try and get to the order screen.

By the time it churns through to the order screen, of course, it has sold out. This is usually within about thirteen seconds, tops.

Seriously.. All I want is a chance at what the greedy bastards with the Bag scripts are hogging. Can we add some sort of Captcha or something? Please?

I've never used a script, and until this one I had got the last three in a row.

Got the gold button, but got kicked back to the billing page

Another miss.

I tried it this time..I really tried..sob..

So frustrated.... all I got was multiple browsers spinning and not loading. but of course I could get to the forum. grrr....

I pressed Buy the first instant it came up on woot and I am stuck on the shipping/billing screen. I really hope this goes through. There is a new woot already :-(

I dont see how I can get one of these, they seem to sell out before they even pop up.

Finally... 6 years of trying and I finally got a Bundle of Crops

Wow!

Q@#*@#%$^#@$@#^!!!

For some bloody reason, when my order page loaded enough to interact with, it had Paypal selected as my payment method. This is despite my going into my account info yesterday and confirming that I had my Visa as my method of payment (and mentally confirming my confirmation code.

So, due to this very weird issue, I missed this Bundle of Crops which I should have gotten.

My order page wouldn't load at all. Conspiracy?

It's a Bindle of Carrots.. not a bundle of crops. Surly I've missed something here..

I get it now...

B ag O Cr ap.

Wow. 25+ minutes to slog through that, about 100 a minute.

Hope you're happy with your crepes.

finally! have not been able to get one of these for about 2 and 1/2 years! yeah my 3rd bag since 2006... thanks woot!!!

I got my first Bag o' Crap! Happy Day!

The browser says maybe but the email says...
YES!!!YES!!! The Basket of Chaos Gods have smiled upon you.

My first Bundle of Crops

Yes! I got one... This will be my second Bindle of Carrots, I have tried 5-6 times to buy one. Hope I get my than just Woot Lights this time!

Clicked the golden button, waited and waited, then comes the "Connection was reset" page. Doomed to never get one

Sometimes you get one sometimes you don't! I've gotten plenty of them from just using the main page. It's luck of the SSL draw!

Must be my lucky day! I didn't even know there was a wootoff going on. Checked woot and saw the xoom tablet so fired up the other computer. I got a Bundle of Crops within minutes and my wife got one 3 minutes later!

YAY after a year of trying my first Bindle of Carrots!

I got it fine -- no scripts or anything.

That's it. No more!

Missed again, but did enjoy reading the write-up prophesying that I would be heartbroken.

Wow. 3 monkies and a Box of Carnations. A first for me for both. I should have picked up the 9 lbs of mustard to celebrate my good fortune.

FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY!!! I've been trying to get one for a couple of years now. I'm soooooo excited. Can't wait!

I tried it this time..I really tried..sob..

Congrats to those that scored. Twas not in the cards for me today, no crap for me, was johnnie on the spot when the package of poopage displayed but y'all must have been faster on the mouse button than me. For those first-timers, now the real fun begins as you wait, and wait for your shipping confirmation, and then wait and wait for it to arrive, to open it and stare with wide-eyed wonder at the wonderful scat before you.

Got the confirmation email, then the final confirmation page errored out. The important thing is that I got it.

WOO HOO! I GOT MINE!
SCORE!

finally got my 2nd one of all time.. I snagged one back on Christmas 2010 and now today.. I had a feeling it may have been in my favor today. I was in and out all day and was amazed the Bundle of Crops wasn't offered yet.. Came back to the computer right as the woot alarm was going off. Hooray

I've clicked and waited on the buy it button for the past 20 minutes. No passing go, no email yet. One can only still hope. Churn churn churn, maybe it's still possible since emails appear to be going out prior to the confirmation page.

I can't count how many caffeinated woot-offs I've diligently sat through. I have no idea why but almost ALWAYS this shows up on my way home. Finally today it shows up an hour early and I get in.

I take back all the bad things I've said about you before. THANKS WOOT!!

Got one.

Got mine the old fashioned way, clicking I Want One!

Thanks again Woot, and for anyone who's going to complain about their carp, spend your $8 at a garage sale instead, you'll end up keeping your stuff longer!

My second one. Long lags from the home to order to confirm page but just had to wait it out.

There were a lot of them this time around it seemed. I haven't seen Bundle of Crops stick around for so long in years.

The Woot Gods have once again forsaken me. Could not even get the order page to load.
Crappy internet connection. Oh woe is me. Just have to wait until next time, maybe then the Gods may smile on me.

Wow. I got the confirmation email *before* the order status page finished loading.

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

Brothers who did not manage to get one I share your pain I will never comprehend how someone can buy a Bindle of Carrots in 2.5 seconds...
