MY FIRST Big ol' Cornucopia! VICTORY IS MINE!

Me = epic fail

Dear BF = epic win


Guess I'll live vicariously through his Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia this time around.

If I remember correctly, a few weeks ago the wOOt servers were moved. Soooooooo maybe the Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia will be easier from now on. I had some managers lurking in the area when I knew it was coming up so I missed it. Oh well. No crap for me.

You can pretty much guarantee that it'll come up as soon as I leave work. I should just post in the forums that I'm leaving work. Then everyone would know the Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia is next. Kind of takes the wind out of the sails of the woot off. May as well just log in around 3:30 EST on Wednesday and wait a little bit. [end rant]

LOL

With Bags of Crap, There Can Be Only One. In general, the $5 shipping is for the entire order.

Score! The screen hung after hitting the big orange button but to my amazement I got the coveted confirmation e-mail. Thanks Woot!

Yes. A lot less random. But still crap.

dang, entirely missed even seeing it this round :-<

Finally a third Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia Been trying since summer. Spent a long time "processing" after submission but I got the oh so important confirmation email.

Back before Amazon took over everything crashed but it still sold out in minutes and it was funny. With Amazon's cache in the mix it still crashed but took an hour to sell out which was no longer amusing.

Yeah. Why do you think that they don't need all of those HPs anymore?

GuardianBob wrote:Got denied but anyone else notice this:


It says I can only have one, but I have 3 selected. And the 3 that I'm ordering are each $3 with $5 shipping which adds up to $8.

The next page was correct in saying I wanted 1.

You expect logical math from a company that uses SmartPost?

wooters.us has been working better than Wootalyzer for me. wooters.us often gives me the next item while refreshing woot.com is still showing the previous sold out item while Wootalyzer lags. YMMV.

That said, I think that this time I got in through the woot.com page and not wooters.us.

If you tell em the secret, they will get it for themselves. then we will miss out on the Big ol' Cornucopia. silence the furious ulcer please, thanks

Got one after missing out on the last 3 times I tried. This will be my 2nd Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia hopefully there will be something decent. I did time out/sever, lucky I decided to click back button instead of refreshing.

Betting you missed out... you just can't ask questions about crap. You gotta click that button without doubt.

yeah, really - hush up! Do you wanna tell the world?

Sigh... Doing three people separate favors and when I get back to my computer I see I missed it by a minute... Still annoyed!

Maybe for you.. I got server meltdown..

New Wooters - take heart. 92% of those who got crap today have been wooters for over a year.

Also...Most of what you get will be worthless. If you DIDN'T get one, congratulations! You're the real winner!

*cry*

Why, oh why, does the Barrel of Carp always come up while I'm at class? And a class during which I can't reasonably have my laptop open, too, so I can't even pretend to be taking notes while I'm really woot!ing.

Congrats!! I will live vicariously through you!! Looks like the family has completely disbanded... You're in charge now...

Didn't even try this time as I don't need the angst of trying for an hour and getting shut down to retry every 5 minutes! Great for those with super fast internet maybe, but I can be more productive with my time and I haven't won in a couple years although I have tried about 20 months since. Just a waste! I'm here for the monkeys!

This is the first time in about a year that I was actually LIVING LIFE while the Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia came up, and I didn't waste an hour trying to get one. Came back to my computer hours later to find the purchase screen ready and waiting. Of course, since I never confirmed, I lost this opportunity. Ah well... it must not have been meant to be.

hmmmm, the smell of sour grapes is overwhelming. LOL

First one in over a year. Yay!

Got one. The fun begins! Should be nice Christmas present. Thanks WOOT!

Let the antcipatichucknorrilolkatwalrus-a-thon begin

Damn it guess what we are all getting in our Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia

Seriously, the second the wootalyzer told me there was a Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia up, although it took me a minute to get the checkout page, I got through.

Since I also got one and I thought I would post my system.. home built in 2005..

Since my Bituminous Oleoresin Coalition has returned from hiatus, it's time to check in with the next exciting installment of Woot! Trek: The Next Generation.

(Click the recap for the thrilling previous episode.)

Big ol' Cornucopia number 7 in the bag.

Really happy to have bought a Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia earlier today, it made my day!
I introduced my friend to woot today and she already has told me to wait on opening it 'til she's around (a difficult task tbh) Regardless of what comes in the mail from Texas (c'mon, what's in the box?), I'm excited to share my woot joy with someone!

I got my first bountiful ol' cornucopia! Words can not express how excited I am!!!

I got mine using an HTC EVO running on wi-fi at a random store. First ever Big ol' Cornucopia I got while out and about on my phone!

I have not gotten one in a long time. I'm still hoping I get a Herman Miller aeron chair in extra large with all the options. Living in front of the computer isn't comfortable

My hope for my bundle of camera-guys?

Peace on earth and good will toward men.

If I can't have that, can I get something my wee-one can enjoy? Maybe a blu-ray player or a 57" LCD TV? She's a hardcore techie at 1.

I may have missed it somewhere in the 20 pages of crapiness, but is there a google doc up for this crap yet?
