Got the order page, typed in my info, got time error over and over again. Finally got to the your order is processing and received the sad message "your order did not go through" probably because they ran out. sniff, sniff, denied again.

Oh Woot! You tease. First you lull us to sleep with two slow-moving items, then a item that looks like it would move slowly but disappears fairly quickly. Then you list the Barrels of Crud hours ahead of the expected time... I only happened to see it by chance. Luck was with me, I thought, and I managed to get all the way thru to the order processing page. FINALLY, I thought, savoring the taste of your juicy, sweet carrots after years of trying! And then... the spinning wheel delivered its verdict:

DENIED

Why oh why do I let myself get a broken heart over this EVERY MONTH?!

Hey this may just work out that the Barrels of Crud arrives on my Birthday (1/28) Happy Birthday to me happy birthday to me happy biiiiiirthday toooo me-eee. Happy birthday to me!

The silver lining in getting laid off last friday. Barrels of Crud #6. Thanks Woot

Woo Hooo!

Scored Barrels of Crud #2

markedwards wrote:Interesting. I posted before but someone seems to have removed it. So here it is again.

I AM REALLY REALLY UPSET. I got in for the first time ever on the Bag of Cuuuuuute! and went through all the screens until I got to the final one with the big gold button to place the order. As usual, there was a wait, but then I got kicked back to the payment page where this was at the top in red:
There was an error placing your order. Please verify that all the fields below are correct and try again.
This sale is sold out.

EVERYTHING was filled out correctly, and I got all the way to the final page and hit the place order button, even reloading the page when it timed out and sent a 503. I KNOW I did everything right but you screwed me over and I am out of luck.

This isn't the first time I've tried to buy the Barrels of Crud but it is the first time I've been able (or so I thought) to actually buy it.

I did my part. What is Woot! going to do to make this right?

Lol, chill dude. You didn't get through the process in time. Take a second, relax, it's an 8 dollar box of junk that you're missing out on, not an authentic Rolex for $10. The Sun will rise tomorrow, I promise.

So any bets on getting these before Valentines day?

got to the Golden Button 4 times, and each time I clicked, got a 503 error. Thought I missed out, but then got a confirmation email before they were even sold-out!!!

Score Bag #4!

I agree, except I'd say have Chrome & IE or Firefox & IE going with a couple of tabs in each.

I use Wootalyzer and Wooters.us to alert me but buy manually.

Your order is still processing...still spinning....so you're saying there's a chance...outlook not so good.

I watch the Woot off for hours and hours on end. GOing on 10 hours sleep the past 2 days.

The only meeting I have scheduled all day?

1:30-2 p.m. EST.

AAAARGH!!!!!

I knew it would happen this way.

You may have won THIS time, Bag of Chuckles, but mark my words, I WILL be back!

Having a horrible week and hoped to snag a Barrels of Crud to brighten the day. Thought I'd finally gotten in to the Promised Land after several attempts and 503s today, with the final screen and checking inventory. Alas! no confirmation email for me so it didn't go through after all. Needless to say, will check to see what everyone else got and I missed out on.

Cool, may or may not an awesome present, but you have the experience and taste of success. Conrats and Happy Birthday.

Finally, my Barrels of Crud virginity has ended.
All this time, always second base, often even 503rd base, never all the way.

I hope it is good for me.

your order is NOT in.
possible problems with your order:

* Order denied.
* We don't have enough quantity to complete your order.

Just gotta say "bite me woot" on this one.

Or a home theater system... or a couple of flat screen TV's... or a skid full of action hero dolls.... It varies, but is usually either funny as hell, or incredibly cool to get..

...or an imperial arseload of left-handed putters.

Wait so there are usually 2500 Barrels of Crud#39;s sold and this lists 2487...........

If only I hadn't stopped at the post office on the way home...

Then again, seeing how my last Barrels of Crud contained such treasures as a spitball target and a disposable potty, maybe I'm not sad that I'm keeping $8.

What a craptacular time to step away from the puter to use the restroom!

missed it by 10 minutes, sad day.

I would love for them to send me a skid of something in January/February. I'd like to see that delivery happen considering I live on the outer rim of hill-billy boondockia. On a steep and ice covered hill, no less.

Fedex already hates me. Yay Woot!

Hey mine's on the 30th! Maybe it'll be a round of Birthday Crap!

Big gold "Buy" button 6 or 7 times, then to blank page and the word "Done" in the lower left. Refresh, refresh, refresh, and nothing...

It's times like this when I want to kick Woot.com in it's cyber-testes.

Can't believe I missed this...again *face palm*

So, is it wishful thinking to hope that another Bag will be offered during this Wootoff - and we'll have a better chance of actually getting through because many people have logged off?

Oh My God..... I already got my Barrels of Crud delivered and it had an Ipad and a brand new 2013 convertible camaro in the box!

This sucks..... I'm calling Woot to complain as I didn't get three things in my Barrels of Crud like I was promised!

Damn you Woot....Damn you!!

Dammmmmnnnnnnnittoheck......throttled by Google Chrome.........alas no crap for me. Maybe some newbie got mine instead. Good for them.

Can't wait to see what we get! Now I just have to find the camcorder for another Woot! youtube video!

Thanks Woot! Happy 2012.

I wish more people were like you. Although if they get mad and don't come back that betters the odds for us!

Dang you Woot- why must you punish my generous nature? I left to get my elderly neighbor some groceries, only to return to see you put up the Barrels of Crud the muinute I left!! Ugghhh!

Did anyone notice that the total woots for the Barrels of Crud keeps going lower?

CHEAP W00t!!!

And I'm on a fast connection. Wakko Talks Faboo!??? If necessary I have a virgin niece I can sacrifice. SERIOUSLY Woot, this is just not fair!! Previous crap winners should be made to sit the next offer out; you could do it. Otherwise this stupidity* is just boggling.

(*Stupidity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.)

At the very least previous buyers should be denied from buying a second one right away. This is losing its luster for a lot of users who are unable to get one (despite a lot of effort) while users who repeatedly were successful (and automated bots designed to repeatedly load the page until successful) are allowed to continue to purchase the bags.

Previous winners should be denied for at least one time and a system should be put into place to block people from using automated scripts to do the purchasing for them.

Here's hoping your bag contains auto parts...

Not if you're buying with a credit card. I don't know about with Paypal.

Gotta agree that something needs to be done. Sitting primed...got password in...never loaded order screen...guess human reflexs are too slow...

I can't believe it, MY FIRST BAG O' CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY, despite the whole system being rigged against fair players like myself I finally have gotten 1 bag o' crap out of 3 years of trying!
