I thought it was just me...I think someone broke Woot again.

It is still there! How Woot Taunts Us! I am sending a bill for the involved Therapy

New commandments, (sans Stephen Stills)

THE HOLY CRAP COMMANDMENTS v4.0

I. Thou shalt expect nothing beyond ONE bag of some kind and THREE crappy items.

II. Thou shalt probably expect not to even get a Bag o’ Crap at all. We only have enough for about 10% of the people who want them. Thou art probably in that other 90%.

III. Thou shalt notice that “crap” is right there in the title. Thou shalt not complain when it turns out we were telling the truth.

IV. Thou wouldst probably be better off spending thine eight bucks on just about anything else.

V. Thou shalt be assured that Woot hath upgraded its servers and code to minimize errors and crashes. But thou shalt remind thyself that even if those servers did work perfectly, it would simply mean the Bunnies Ogling Carrots sold out earlier.

VI. Should thou fail in thy quest for crap, congratulations. Failure is the biggest crap of all.

they are playing us all with the new server commandment.

Woot fail again.

So I logged into my girlfriends account and tried to pay with my credit card. Woot said I already used that card on this item...

How can it tell if all my orders got denied?

You know... I really used to think some people were just overly complaining... but I guess every woot-off really is worse than the previous one. O.o

Six months from now, the Woot-off will be randomly setting people's houses on fire.

I hope there is some lotion next because that got me all excited just to be denied.

Don't feel bad, it's a farce in the USA too!

I think Woot is broken and this isn't a real Bunnies Ogling Carrots sale.

Eventually someone will come along and fix it. Tomorrow, maybe.

Tell me about it. I went to three playoff games that year. Saw them clinch the first round series in Atlanta. Saw them lose game 5 in Miami. And watched on tv in horror as they lost games 6 and 7 at home...

Woot You are a broken thing. They say dont fix things that are not broken. But you Sir or ma'am Are definately broken. You taunt me all the time with your Bags of Greatness and then everytime i have failed. This time you continuously taunt me by saying itis not sold out when it truly is

uscpsycho wrote:Wow Woot. Way to piss people off. I know Woot is all about having fun but not YOU having fun at the expense of your CUSTOMERS.

If you missed it in the item description it says:

We hope you find these tips helpful, and we wish you luck in your continued search for a Barrel of Crops. Just don’t come back here, because we don’t have any more of them.

That's why it's so easy to get through to the checkout page. They aren't selling bags of crap. Theyr'e just tormenting customers for their own amusement.

I'm done with you Woot. This isn't OK to do and it's not funny either.

-1 lest competitor

So it really IS APRIL FOOLS!

Someone said earlier one April Fools had 4 bags in one day.

Wait. Did I really just get through? My first bag in 6 years?

DanGrossman wrote:Their payment processing is broken. All orders are denied after about 3 minutes if you go back and check the order status. If you check your online banking, there was no attempted charge -- the orders aren't going through because they can't charge any credit cards, it's timing out on their end somewhere.

Three bushels of carrots in a day overwhelmed their cc processing?

We've reserved a product for you, and are now processing your credit card. This usually just takes a few seconds, but if our servers are really getting pounded, it could take 20 or 30 minutes.


different... better...

This sucks a fair to moderate amount.

and now it's sold out, with no updated time since cabage boy got one. sigh. I swear this level of incompetence can't be accidental.

I think I can run over there and give them the 8.00 in person quicker....

Pick me up on the way!! lol

I've never been able to procure a Belly Of Crabs, but wouldn't it be nice? Both my wife and I are plugging away on three computers and mobile devices. I have a Jumbo-Woot coupon that I'm trying to use. Wouldn't it be nice that my wife and I could share a Bed Of Critters the week of our four anniversary?

Purchasing from Woot is not a right. If it doesn't work, then try again, or just go away. I don't understand why people who can't get an order in cry and whine about it. It's just a bag of junk. I've been trying since 2007, and I've only managed to get 3 out of the countless times they've been offered. I'll get over missing out on it this time, and I suggest that everyone else does as well.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I missed it. Dang it!

The woot servers have two speeds, and if you don't like this one you sure as heck won't like the other one.

Really...is your server in someone's garage?

Simply Amazing.... Well played.

Way to troll us, Woot! Really, good job, you totally got me.

In Carrollton. Can drive there faster than this is processing.

Well this was just a large bag of sunshine.

AerithGainsborough wrote:Are the bags only for USA? Can't seem to order from Canada...

Woot ships to USA only.

Ha ha ha well at least I was here for this aromatic denial of crap unlike the earlier ones that I slept through. YAY! No crap for me so far.

They are using intermittent feedback to condition us to more closely watch the WootOff! No more 2:30 pm on the second day... It's RANDOM! It could happen at ANY TIME! Don't eat, sleep or go to the bathroom, you could miss a Barrel of Crops!!!!

Just FYI, if you got through with no server trouble, you didn't actually get through. They were gone for about 12 minutes according to the RSS feed while the home page was still saying they were there.

Guess I'll have to try again next time. Even though I got past the payment page multiple times, my order was consistently denied.

Oh well.

Lol oops

Total woots: 14914!

14 flippin thousand bags of crap!

And my order did not go in?

shenanigans I say!

I am confused and suspicious.

I was able to purchase a Bunnies Ogling Carrots with no errors. Quickly, even.

Did that really just happen? My order isn't confirmed yet. Can I be happy? Is this real? What's happening?

Anyone get confirmation of actual purchase on round three of the WootCRap?
