1.6 lbs of beautiful crap due Christmas Eve. Y'know, of the 6 Bravo Oscar Charlie's I've gotten, only one was above 2 lbs, and that one had about 20lbs of expired calendars. One would think this long line of super skimpy crap would make me bitter. But One would be wrong. Because I have gotten six where many have gotten none. And I've had 1 item that is still worth more than twice what I've paid for all of my Burgandy Olfactory Center#39;s combined. Sooo, the moral is, Thank you Woot!, I have loved every minute of it. Oh, and the t'shirt you sent last time was brilliant.
I'm signing off now, I hate surprises, but I'm going to give that a try for once. See y'all when it's all said and done.

Soooooooooooo Sad, i have never been able to track with reference number. It keeps showing no information. This has been the case on the last three bowls of cherries i purchased. I usually get the tracking number after i get the package. I live vicariously through all these posts. Please keep them coming.

2.1 pounds of apparently the same crap as most everyone else (minus .3 ounces of presumed Texas air) is on its way!

I'm not sure why people sound so... disappointed with 2 lb bags of crap... You could fit some AWESOME stuff in a 2 lb box that Woot has sold. For example: SOG knives, iTouch, Logitech harmony universal remote, Bucky balls (I know not as cool as the others, but who wouldn't like a set of Bucky balls), etc. Just because it is not a TV doesn't mean it is not good. It's not like Woot sells Samsung TVs. Some of the TVs Woot sells are not even good brands that could go out very quickly(but don't get me wrong, some of the TVs are very nice!).

Don't be disappointed because your Bag of Coal is only 2 lbs (or around that weight). Just be patient and be thankful you got one! I think it was worth the $8 just for all of the happiness it brought that you were even able to get one. The excitement is worth a lot.

Anyways, lets say that you did get a large box. It could be a bunch of broken stuff (crap). Then you just have a large amount of trash that your trash company may or may not take due to it not being in a trash container, then who is laughing?

My first crap was a large box of broken junk, but I repaired my Sansa View with the broken one, my GPS still works (time and date is broken, no big deal) and I still have a few other things that sort of work. I'm excited for any size crap. Just happy to finally get one again!

Can anyone speak from experience and rebut that? Has anyone gotten a letter or an awesome Bag of Coal without a letter since then? Just curious.



Nonsense. My first Bag O'Crap was just that - crap. Two dead hard drives and a weird shotgun shell pill box. That was well before Wootazon appeared.

If you're expecting a 60 inch LCD for your $8 you'll always be disappointed. As it says, just learn to love the crap you get, and you'll be fine.

Actually, I've gotten some really nice stocking stuffers out of my last few Burgandy Olfactory Center. Not to mention the Leak Frog that saved my bacon (and basement floor!) when we had a major leak last November.

Now, since I've been so nice, howzabout a letter in my next Ball of Confusion?

Woot! Now 100+ woots for me!
That's 87 woots (Including Twelve Bats On Crack!), 12 Sellout.woots, 8 wine.woots and 4 kids.woots, and finally, 2 shirt.woots!

I have my forth Burgandy Olfactory Center on the way weighing 2.1lbs.. due 12/21 to central MN

My first 3 craps I got were all in a row - August, September and October of this year, and in all three I got something worth the 8$$.

The first Burgandy Olfactory Center was the most lacking and came with the standard stuff; disney blanket, furniture polish,and wibbly fun balls- but I'm also saving the Footflush that came in it for when i get out of the dorms.

The Second Burgandy Olfactory Center was probably the best- it came with the standard stuff- some of which is becoming stocking stuffers, but it also came a 12mpx samsung camera [not an improvement for me but my GF loves it].

The Third Burgandy Olfactory Center was the heaviest at around 9lbs, it came with the standard stuff, but it also came with a inflatable twin mattress, which I might use in the coming year.

Weight doesn't really matter, my heaviest is the one I found the least use so far, and the one that had the camera was almost spot on the average weight for that Burgandy Olfactory Center

so I am excited to open my measly weighing 2.1lb Burgandy Olfactory Center like a savage beast as soon as i see it

Thou appearest to understandeth the Woot crap commandments verily so well:

THE HOLY CRAP COMMANDMENTS v2.0:

I. Thou shalt expect nothing beyond one bag of some kind and your chosen quantity of crappy items (which should be THREE).

II. Thou shalt not whine and complain when some people’s crap turns out to be nicer than yours.

III. Thou shalt take a moment to consider whether you might be better off just not buying this crap.

IV. Thou shalt not order just one crap and blame it on anything but your own inattention.

V. To paraphrase Stephen Stills, shalt thou not get the crap you want, want the crap you get.

I have gotten mucho crap and it's mostly crap, but it's often fun crap, crap I end up needing, and ALWAYS loads of excitement from the anticipation. There are few such exciting things one can do with $8.

:P (It's taken me like 6 tries to get this link right!)

I'm a bit disappointed about having a 2 pounder, too, but not because I won't get "Better" stuff (Letter's are light!) but because I don't wanna get the exact same thing as everyone. It's more fun when everything is different!

For those of you guys complaining, remember one thing: the Bag of Coal is not about what is inside the bag, it's the EXPERIENCE.

You're one of 2500 lucky people to buy the crap. And then it's the excitement of waiting to open it.

I don't mind throwing out $8 to do this. It's fun and I enjoy a good laugh out of what I receive.
