I got my order in!

I hope it went through :3

Yeah, I can see the bag, go to buy, get the spinning wheel of death after confirming credit card info.....blargh!

For all of you complaining about not getting a Box of Cobwebs.. don't lose any sleep. I think I've scored 3 or 4 and so far all I have to show for it is a few gag gifts and oodles of disappointment after opening each one. You'd probably be better off spending $8 on lotto tickets.

I never made it to the confirmation screen but got this email: Your order number ######## for 1 Bucket of Candycorn has been received by Woot on 10/12/2011 and your credit card has been charged $8.00.

Woohoo!

You don't have a minute, you have about 3 seconds. And even that is no guarantee. Been here for years, have got 2 (both this year, actually).

Woohoo!

So I filled in my info and hit the gold button. After that it loaded a blank page. Not sure if ordered or not...

Server fail. Server fail. Server fail.

I thought these would go away once Amazon bought the place, but they seem WORSE THAN EVER!!!

So. Frustrating.

Not a myth. I've gotten more than one. And the Infamous Woot Letter came in one of those...

This is a load of crap. I've bought so many things from woot and never been able to get a Bucket of Candycorn. I hope woot can actually get the site fixed to let people spend money on crap. I HOPE YOU GET CRAPPED ON WOOT!

sweet.. my first bag!

How about we all send the $8 to the charity of our choice. Certainly do a lot more than clog up the post and landfills. You can feed two kids for a whole month with $8 in some countries.

There is good reason it's called crap. ^_^

I got one last time, just for fun. Getting thru WAS the fun. tennis racket quieters??

Ok, I love woot.com, but I have gotten 6 Box of Cobwebs#39;s so far since I signed up, and I think this is the last wootoff I'll participate in. Even if I end up with a Box of Cobwebs I can't deal with the frustration of these crappy servers. Amazon bought you, and they have a crapload of money. You would think the servers would be upgraded. I will still be a faithful woot customer, but wootoffs......not for me anymore. Thanks.

WOOOOO!! Got a battalion of corpses on my first ever Woot-off!

Happy camper here. I owe somebody in these comments a big thanks for the tip!

At 3:25 I finally got to the your order is processing screen... no confirmation yet, just the clock ticking away... go through woot, you owe me!!! give me the Box of Cobwebs!!! On a funny note I bought 3 of those baby blankets thinking there were the Box of Cobwebs anyone have any idea what to do with them, as I have no babies...

In for 1 lovely Box of Cobwebs

still sitting in the "order is processing" waiting room. chewing my nails. hopefully the doc will present me with a wonderful bouncing Brace of Coneys.

why is the crap not working! I want me some crap to occupy my time! Pwease???

Heh, do you really think they care if you continue to be a wootoff customer?

Anyway, I got mine. I think it's fun.

I don't understand why I get excited when I see this Bucket of Candycorn. I never could place an order (I promised I tried very hard). I don't know what kind of crap im gonna get. Should I be disappointed of not be able to place an order?

Pretty sure they do. I got one of my April fools day Box of Cobwebs through the kids.woot server.

Ah Bucket of Candycorn time. Known internally at Woot! as scheduled server maintenance.

Does the "I want one" button really work???

Thanks in advance woot for the delightful surprise that I will get in a few weeks!
