Every dang time I got stuck trying to get the big gold button up. How the heck does everyone else get through and I only get server errors? Congrats to everyone who some how gets in.

It puts the crap inside the bag or it gets the hose again.

I must have got one of the first ones. Never saw the normal "Your order is processing..." screen, just an email confirmation at 1:01. 3rd Burgandy Olfactory Center for me!

Now, Woot, please don't give me the letter this time. I can't fit a truckload of crap in my dorm room at school.

My Woots:
31 from woot.com
6 from shirt.woot
3 from sellout.woot
1 from wine.woot
3 B O C's- 12/25/11, 4/1/10 and... my first B O C- 11/19/09 (with a letter from woot!)

Gave up after 15 solid minutes of the 503 errors. Figured they had to have been sold out by then. guess I was wrong.

Burgandy Olfactory Center ? I has one. Almost missed it like so many others. 503'd for almost 30 mins then smooth as silk.

Thanks Woot! and Merry Christmas to all!

BTW, I wouldn't complain if you included an HP Envy Dual Core i5 Notebook in my Burgandy Olfactory Center Not that I'll complain about whatever I receive. Just sayin'.

Scored a Santa's Sack of Crap after a half hour of refreshing. Now I can't wait to open my last Bag of Coal that is sitting patiently under the Christmas tree calling my name.

Buy the ticket, take the ride

holy carp been on here since 06 and no sacks for me. This year I finally get one. Last few years I would miss christmas sack by a few minutes because of wrapping gifts etc... I missed april fool crap and the rest. Forget about wootoffs if I was not at work I would never get order in.

This year I was ready. At computer at 1 am and caught the link in description and got server error right away gave up about 5 minutes later figured I missed another. Checked out my fantasy football teams fopr about 20 minutes and for slaps and giggles tried woot page loaded right away and link took me right to the sack and I got one.

After I ordered my Sack of Crap, I went to Twitter and saw some people who thought there wasn't a Bag of Coal to get. I felt "'Tis the Season" and led them to the promised land. These lucky people got their first bags tonight.

Merry Christmas!

Didn't get the bag

This is a good deal on a laptop though, I wish I could afford it though. This thing seems like the perfect laptop for college.

The least they can do is move the actual order pages to new servers. Let the main want one page get busy, but if you're ready to submit, the damn servers shoulnt crach.

Needless to say, im a little pissed. Merry freakin Christmas!



I used to feel the same way. Then I thought about it. If the purchase pages were elsewhere, somebody would develop a script or a program to automate their ordering process. So, instead of fighting via the "Refresh" button for a half an hour to have a chance at getting a Blessing Of Commerce, you and I would both be shut out in the first sixty seconds by those who are running the scripts, macros, or other software.

No, thanks. I'm glad to let them keep things just the way they are. At least this way gives us all a chance.

In for my Body of Christ. All of the sudden after about 30 mins stopped getting errors and pages popped right up. Then I noticed I put in wrong CCV, was able to go back but then "all info correct" button just went back to main page.

Was able to go thru whole thing again with right CCV and still get one. :'0

Thanks Woot for the Burgandy Olfactory Center Perseverance is the name of the game. After all the cursing (while in the background, my cousin is watching the Midnight Christmas Mass from St. Peters), I finally got through! Merry Christmas to all of you at Woot!

My wife swears I'm keeping Woot! in business all by myself. I think she may be onto something.
