In for one.

I sold off one of the items (some videocam-specific DVD writer) in my last Bag of Cuuuuuute! for enough to pay for the next couple, so I am happy to have gotten in for one!

I got my order in before it droped to 50% sold, but still sitting on...


your order is processing.

SHOULD JUST BE A BIT NOW...

dpcollects wrote:So the order went through... I think. But not showing up in "My account"...

Ditto.

I was writing a work email and my ADD kicked in to refresh my Woot tab. Server timeout. Aw snap, son, I know what that means!

I have a working theory that opening a lot of tabs to try to get a bag is counterproductive. So, I went with one tab. Fine, two, I tried kids.woot too. Last time I clicked the big gold button and got blank pages til it sold out. This time, it's proceeding more normally...

Order processing! Wait, what do you mean, you're checking to see if it's in stock? Could it not be? Could I have gotten all this way for naught? It's not in my account page! It doesn't want to refresh! Oh gosh!

Ohhh, it's refreshing itself. I've refreshed it several times, now it's refreshing itself. This is a good thing, no?

*fingernails*

"We've reserved a product for you, and are now processing your credit card."

that was just WRONG. such a tease. such a nasty cruel tease.

for the first time since woot started I did not make it to the first screen. I get their all the time.

I made it to the FINAL SCREEN the BUY IT button was on my screen.

TWICE

ON MY CELL PHONE !!!!!

and both times "FAILED"


ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Damn you woot !!! :-) that was just CRUEL!!!

Kudos to WOOT! for switching the time of the crappy this round! Very surprising and refreshing.

Minty fresh ('cause I did get the email! Yay!)

not sure who or what an 'aiCache' is but when i find out, im going to murder whoever brought it into this universe.

edit: i got an aiCache error while posting this, true story

In, then server issue, then freeze, then in, then no card code, then all sold out. Then jobbed!

on 1/19/2012, you successfully wooted.

I was able to get one. I almost passed after the last couple being the same uniform crap but then I saw it up and just had to try.... Let's see how hard of a boot camp colonelcrap put his recruits thru before their first tour of duty.

Got to the order page, and pushed the button probably didn't get one! (((((((((((




Got the page to buy it. Clicked that all info was correct. Got the stupid blank white page - just like last time I tried.

Total totally insaney.

Dumb 503 page.... You ruin my life!

That one was certainly quite weird. Didn't know if it was successful the first time thanks to the 503 errors, so I went through again a second time and it said my account had already purchased one, but I'd had no confirmation or anything. Waited a few more minutes and finally got the confirmation. Craziness.

Awesome.... great way to start 2012 after a really BAD 2011, I scored one Barrels of Crud Only my second one ever after many years of trying.

I will be looking everyday for my tracking number! Fingers crossed, but even if it is standard stuff, I am a winner already!

Awesome Queen Jane

Another Barrels of Crud is on its way!
Woot! Woot!

Check under your account page to see your history. It will show if you got one

A recent update for chrome now has an anti denial of service mechinisim installed for when a website returns 5xx errors and you hit refresh.

For those who experienced this madness go to chrome://net-internals/#httpThrottling to turn this "feature" off.

Carp! I had no idea I was sitting at the Order Confirmation page for 5+ minutes waiting for the button to pop up. I wish I could have received a 503 so I could have at least refreshed. Barrels of Crud sold out. Button pops up. Thanks for ruining my day woot, I really wanted in on this one after getting several crappy Barrels of Crud and hearing about Colonel Craps turn around plan. Maybe they'll send me a pity crap... okay probably not. I'll just fume at work the rest of the day about how I should have took a PTO day to get on a better non-filtered firewall connection.

First one in 7 months! Must be my Barrels of Crud Lucky Day!

I missed getting this because I was watching my son learn how to crawl. I'm so proud....but disappointed.

YAY! I have been trying for 7 years and today I was a winner!

Wow, it's literally been years, but according to my account page, I scored!

Really sucks that I hit the button to buy immediately....already have all my info saved, so just had to put my security code in...hit the button....all this within 15 seconds and then have it sit there and spin and time out and never get one. This is the second time that's happened. Golly.

After a 18 month drought, SCORE!!

Thanks Woot!!

Woo hoo. Barrels of Crud #3 for me

irishguywi wrote:"order is processing" ...holy cow, did i actually get one for the first time in 3 years!?!?!??!

I've been in terminal order processing since a couple minutes before you. It's still processing, and the wootalyzer says sold out, despite the bouncing ball on the Barrels of Crud site. I think we missed out. Darn! I've been trying a couple years, and hit that button ASAP!

I've never gotten one in years and years of trying (just like a lot of people) so it makes me a disbeliever when somebody posts that they get all the way to the Buy It screen and decides not to because they've gotten too many disappointing Barrels of Crud#39;s.

It's 8 dollars that could end up being worth hundreds. There's something seriously wrong with you if you're at the screen and decide not to buy it.

Couldn't even get past the "I Want One" button.

Thought for sure nothing worked... to many 503 errors, and then an email stating order confirmation! There is a 1st for everything!

Wished I could quit so easily...i've never been involved in a woot.off. How often does this event occur??? And the Barrels of Crud deal...hilarious! Though I didn't get one
/I think I'm addicted

/See, I can quit anytime I like

Years of struggle are over! I Finally Scored Barrels of Crud for the first time since:

Random Crap 10/23/08

Monkey off my back!!

I gots one! I gots one! That's two in a row.

However, I have no idea what session or what browser got through....

Of course, the last Bag of Cuuuuuute! was, well, as advertised.

Stuck at the final stage still...

We got your order. Hang on a second while we check our inventory to make sure we have enough stuff available to fill your order.
You can stick around to make sure your order goes through, or just leave and check your account page later. If sale's listed there, it means everything went fine. If it's not, it means your order got denied.

rsinger1 wrote:AHHH!!! I Think i got it!!! the order status page never confirmed but I got a confirmation email, so that means it worked right??

AFAIK yes, same thing happened to me. It's been years since I've been able to get a Barrels of Crud Weeeeeee.

Well, the woot devil was against me today... Maybe next wootoff

i got the same. how long before you get the email saying you got one if you did?

I failed as well, but it wasn't my fault. Woot made me type in my credit card info again.

Shame on you, woot.

After many many years, I finally got one! Woot woot!

Yes, another Bag of Coriander.
