I was running tech booth for 11 p.m. candlelight Christmas Eve service at church, logged on and saw the notebook, came home, logged back on and saw the hyperlink for the bag, and at 12:31 I looked, I shot, I scored! Merry Christmas, Wooters!!

In spite of 503s out the wazoo, and after banging away for a half hour, a score! Confirmed in my email. Merry Christmas Wooteroos!

Woo Hoo!
My second Bandolier of Carrots!
Had to fight the crashing servers in a might, yet patient duel!
People must have given up or not read the print to find their gift from Santa Woot!
Merry Christmas all!

30 minutes of crazy paid off! Thanks woot for the Bag of Coal! Yeah! Good night and Merry Christmas to all!

Wait! I had that happen once in high school, but it was more like 36 seconds of frustration, or happiness. I can't remember, but there was two weeks of suspense.

30 minutes, 547 F5 toggles and a bt o reading = 1 Santa's Sack of Crap! Got the one earlier this month. Don't know that I'll ever recapture the glory of 3 bags in 4 months as that left me nearly a year long dry spell.

I was in line for the other sack of stuff before it sold out, but it said sold out when I went there.

Woot, no one will envy the crap that you are advertising now - anyone who gets one of Miss EBays computers are getting coal in their stocking.

How do you know how many Santa's Sack of C's were sold?

Oh yeah! Every year I give out extra presents to my family and friends from stuff I get from the Burgandy Olfactory Center Next year's Christmas is saved.

Keeping the tradition alive! I have been wooting since 2008, and have been able to score "RandomCrap" in 2008, "Santa’sSackO’Crap" in 2009, "BagofCrap" in 2010, & now this year to add to the collection "Santa'sSackofCrap." Thanks Woot for becoming a part of my Christmas tradition!

Had to work for this one, about the same as others, 30 min or so and suddenly there it was.

decorate you woot.. Dont think I am ever going to try for a Burgandy Olfactory Center ever again.. If all I get is server error after server error.. Then it is not worth my decorateing time to fight the millions of others for a Burgandy Olfactory Center. Thanks for nothing!

Thank you Woot! for the terrific present!
Have a Merry Christmas!

Got it pretty fast thanks for the Burgandy Olfactory Center Woot. Best b-day gift ever(12/24) even if i had to pay for it you guys rock

YES!!!!!!!

Wow. Over 30 min of trying....got through. Didn't show up as purchased at first but now it's there. Merry Christmas to all and to all a Burgandy Olfactory Center

HO HO HOLYITZ GOT HIS BAG OF CARROTS........
TY WOOT!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm not a Baby New Year! I found the link. I got to the hidden bag. I clicked 'I want one!' I got to the Order page.

Then I saw my mom's mailing address instead of mine. So I went to change it.

Big mistake. Instead of just going forward and getting it, who cares where it goes as long as it's MINE, I stupidly changed my address. This got me a wonderful service not available. So I hit 'Back', tried again, and got sent to the Woot! homepage.

When I clicked the secret link again....sold out.


And sadness reigns on Christmas Day. SADNESS, I say.

Well played Woot.... Well Played....

Merry CRAPMAS

Took me almost four years and help from a friend but I got my first Bag of Coal. Thanks Dana and woot!

Got mine in the first minute, got dagger eyes from my friends. Secretly persisted, gave them the heads up and now we're all in for one! Christmas is saved!

wow, my F5 button must hate me, 32minutes into it, it finally got its reward. one Bag of Coal for me! what a load! literally on woots servers. thank you for nice xmas

Pretty Sure that Woot disabled the servers for the first half an hour, and gave all of the patient people (or procrastinators) something to smile about as they drift off into sleep. I got one after 35 minutes of trying on my iPhone, which proves that yes, indeed, it works on a mac ;)

Thanks for making my Christmas Woot! Even if I get 27 Sansa USB cables and a camo snuggie like last time, just winning one is well worth the $8.

Got my Bandolier of Carrots! Thanks Santa and thanks woot!

Merry Xmas
Happy Hanukkah
Happy Kwanzaa
Happy Festivus
Happy New Year

etc etc etc!

got my santa Burgandy Olfactory Center :-) I'm a happy girl this Christmas Morning

decorate you woot.. Dont think I am ever going to try for a Burgandy Olfactory Center ever again.. If all I get is server error after server error.. Then it is not worth my decorateing time to fight the millions of others for a Burgandy Olfactory Center. Thanks for nothing!

you tested my patience and made me work for it, but I wouldn't expect my first Box of Chocolates to come any other way! Merry Christmas, Woot!

I got one!!! So glad I scrolled down this time!!

Merry Christmas wooters!

I must have caught it right after the server reboot! Easy as pie or piece of (fruit) cake!

Hurray! First Bag of Coal in two years...took 30 minutes of F5ing to even get to the order page, but once I did it seemed to go smoothly.

I think a bunch of people finally gave up after 29 minutes, and things calmed down...

Merry Christmas Woot!

Twas the night before wootmas and all through the house,
Computers were refreshing, left clicking with the mouse.
Some wooters were saddened by the smell of no crap,
But those wooters should read, instead of glancing at their woot app.
And although it took about a half hour or so,
Woot proved to be true under an amazon CEO.
So for those who read carefully, and clicked oh just right,
It's a merry christmas to all and to all a goodnight.

merry christmas!

First try and first bag. Love WOOT!!!!!!!!

Well, I missed the bag by 5 minutes because I forgot about it, but I got that awesome shirt over on shirt.woot as compensation, so I'm happy.

Yep, I love it too. 30 minutes of 5xx errors, about to give up, but thinking maybe no one else can get in either so why not "sit and click".
Then Boom! Burgandy Olfactory Center. Thanks woot. Me thinks many who have often near-missed, cashed in tonight.
