At the risk of being 'that guy', bots buying up all of the bags is getting out of control. I'm one of the ones that also had it up as soon as it was available, got to the payment screen twice and the server crashed each time as I tried to hit the confirm button. This has happened the last four times a bag has been available. (With the exception of the April Fools bag, I just couldn't win the damn game)

Trying to buy a Bindle of Carrots used to be fun and exciting and now it is only frustrating. It doesn't pay to play by the rules. I refuse to become one of the cheaters and screw someone else out of their bag. I am a huge Woot fan in general and buy a lot of stuff from here, it's just getting very old not to even have a fighting chance anymore.

I think I'm done. I'm sure this will make some of you happy, one less competitor right?

It was fun for a while Woot!

I got one!!

I can't do it, I give up, it's not going through for me. =(

Woot!

wait for me to get back from lunch?

Incredibly frustrating. Loaded the main woot page when the bar was 100% full. Opened "I Want One," got nothing. Tried for, what, 15 minutes? Never got a single page to load. Every single on errored out.

I know the servers get wrecked every time a Bundle of Crops comes up, but it's still frustrating to get screwed by luck even after having gotten lucky enough to refresh at the right time.

After years of fruitless wooting-off, I finally got in on a Barrow of Compost. I'm almost nervous that it's some sort of practical joke. "Just kidding! No actual Bundle of Crops for you, ya punk!"

Am I the only one so far to notice that this is the first time it's been explicitly called a "Bag of Crap", instead of just "Random Crap"?

Got one! It has been a while since my last one. Don't know if I will tell my wife before it arrives. She dose not like me buying these bags, but I love the challenge and fun!

I got to the order confirmation page with the stupidly large button. I hit the stupidly large button and the page is loading... It's still loading... maybe I still have a chance? It seems unlikely, but I'm hoping.

HOLY GUACAMOLE! I hope it's a good box of cookies, bundle of cats, bushel of cacti...

Was able to grab a crappy bag ... thanks WOOT!

How much CRAP you got, WOOT?? Longest Bundle of Crops I've ever seen!

OMGOMGOMGPONIESOMG, I can't OMGOMGOMGPONIESOMG PONIES!!ing believe! After a 1 year dry spell, I finally got Bundle of Crops #4. I did it the old fashion way on an iPad...it was taking forever and I thought there was no way it was going through...but sure enough got the confirmation email. Yippie!! Thanks Woot!!!

First Brigands of the Caribbean for me.

I got mine without a script, thank you very much, but I did use a desktop widget to notify me of the new item. It maybe helped that the widget provided a direct link to the order page, but the rest of the process was human-based.

FINALLY! After five years and countless refreshing, my first Crappy Bag! My wife will be pleased.

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.

mine is stuck at the shipping/billing page

Day off work spending the day at Kings island theme park with my family and a perfect time for the afternoon snack! God bless my family and God bless Woot! Anticipation is mounting!

Woot! My second Bindle of Carrots I've been able to score over the years! The last one was pretty crappy, hoping for better luck this time

Nope, no luck, got timeouts like crazy.

Why is it that I finally get to the golden button of "this info is correct", only to be disappointed when woot kills the server page? I wait and wait and wait...and when the page finally changes, I've been disconnected...and no crap.

I know it's crap, but I want my share of it!! And I want it unlike the cheaters who write the scripts to jump in line in front of you!

Woot needs a way to block out the cheaters, while still letting the causal wooters compete fairly!

Got one. Confirmation email came waaaay before the page finished loading.

Excellent timing coming back from lunch to grab one

stupid woot. how i hate to love you.

I got one for the first time. My boyfriend got to the confirmation page but it never went through

I had the dang final payment confirmation screen loading forever and it kicked me back and said sold out!

Same here. I've been trying for 4 years or so. IT SUCKS!

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 do not/did not use an auto-buy today and I got one!

I got one today and it was shear luck... I haven't looked at Woot! at all today. I just got back from lunch and happened to click through my "Daily Deals" link to see the Bundle of Crops sitting on my screen, at first, I thought it was an error, but I was able to place my order and purchase my first Bundle of Crops ironically, the first Woot Off I haven't vigorously watched for one to come up.

What did you get in craps?

I have never received one in last 10 years, had several close calls though. This time the server would not even display the order page - yikeessssss....

Woot should find the most unlucky (and frustrated) and longest non-crap members, and start giving away some craps to build harmony amongst the membership community.

My husband is obsessed with getting a Bandolier 'o Carrots ever since he got a t-shirt with an actual bandolier 'o carrots on it in his last Brunch of Champions. So I've been keeping a sharp eye out for these to come up on the woot off. I wouldn't say I check in with the woot off specifically to get a Batch of Cookies, but it's definitely a big factor in how often I check the page. I'm so excited that I got one today! It'll make my husband so happy, and we gave out a lot of the items we got in his last Bunch of Crops as stocking stuffers for the family. I mean, who doesn't need an iPod speaker shaped like a Lego?!

Yay! I'm a winner! First Bundle of Crops everr

When I clicked the ridiculously large button, I was kicked back to the payment page with an "There was an error placing your order." message. I don't mind missing a deal, but this is a solved problem in software; don't load the unnecessarily large button unless you have the inventory to back it up. Also, don't use errors to handle expected situations.

Whooo Haaah on Banned Onion Chameleon #3 for us! Advantage, Putman!

That is the slowest moving meter for a Bundle of Crops I have ever seen - so slow I even got one! And I don't use automatic anything at all, I just happened to walk back to my office and there it was - mysteriously coming in over a half hour before I leave for my evening commute.

Thanks woot! Looking forward to my Bundle of Crops

Whoooo, Bundle of Crops #3!

it's been like three years since I've been this close to getting one of these. I hope the order goes through, but sadly I don't think it will.

I got one!!

Can anyone explain to me this "Bundle of Crops?"

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