I crapped! I crapped! I crapped!

I got a completely blank order confirmation screen really fast and figured I missed out. BUt just a moment ago I got my confirmation email!

Here's my secret hope: with only 300 sold, these Bunnies Ogling Carrots will be 8 times better than a normal one.

Yes I just violated No. 3 of the THE HOLY CRAP COMMANDMENTS v4.0

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.

Great news for those not blessed on this round. Dig the wording of the update, thanks!

I can't believe I got one Bunnies Ogling Carrots with only 296 sold! I'm hoping the since the quantity is smaller, the quality is greater :-)

This was the easiest Bag for me to order.
Each step from clicking on the I want one button to the confirmation went through without a problem. Like I was ordering any other product from woot. I even had another browser opened hitting F5 to see when it sold out and it was responding normally.

They can split the bags in groups if they want. Yet, will they prevent multiple orders from the same account?

While I can only speculate at the moment, another part of my suggestion was that once somebody purchased the Bunnies Ogling Carrots they would not be able to get another one with their current account. It would work in the same way as regular Woot! in that you can only place one order on the site per day, per account, get what I mean?

Didn't get one either...blew me right out of the water.

New write-up and commandments....and it said:

"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."

So that's it? The Bee-Oh-See is history?

Anyone want to tell me what was in a *previous* Barrel of Crops they've purchased?

Finally, success! Can't believe how excited I am to have just spent $8 (incl shipping, of course) for what will certainly be an underwhelming trio of crappage. Who cares, I finally got my first Bunnies Ogling Carrots Woot woot!

on 3/22/2012, you successfully wooted.
order 37xxxxxx
You want 1

Barrel of Crops
You ordered 3 Random Crap.
which each cost $3.00
for a subtotal of $3.00
plus shipping + $5.00
for a total of $8.00
I can't believe I got one!! Only second one for me. Maybe if they only had 300, that means it will be a very nice one.

I would be very humbled to see if a simple suggestion was actually taken to heart! While I didn't get one and still haven't ever received a bag this would be a great opportunity for me to try and score one! Here's to hoping!! Woot never stops being awesome!



They have done that before several years ago...

Is it quicker to use PayPal than a cc? I always manage to put my CID in before the page crashes on me...

The pages loaded somewhat error free. I had to go back a couple times and hit the big stupid button a couple times. Then it took me to the woot home page and thought something screwed up. I checked my account, and the order was there, and I got the confirmation email a couple seconds later.

That was indeed fast and I consider myself lucky to have gotten through okay.

I have my fingers crossed for another chance and a lock-out as you are suggesting for those who are already BlessedO'Crud.

Nothing amazing...one or two of them sometimes have something expensive...the rest have, well, crap. I've gotten everything from a manual breast pump to stress balls shaped like Viagra. The lure is that they're really hard to get. Go to Youtube and search "Woot Barrel of Crops". There are 100's of videos up of people opening their boxes...

As opposed to the East Coasters who have to be awake at 1am to see the new item du jour rather than 10pm for you Westies. I'm not seeing a problem

Yes I am aware of this. However a couple weeks ago, @agingdragqueen was prying around the forums looking for suggestions. One of my suggestions was to bring this back because it would be a good way of mixing things up. I'm just saying that people were complaining about how bad things have become at Woot!, the staff was looking for suggestions. While I can't say for sure that this was based off one of my suggestions, I can say that I am happy they made some changes after asking the community for suggestions. I meant no disrespect.

I've gotten everything from a crappy ipod to a new jawbone headset to a C3P0 lego watch. Sometimes they're awesome, like coming with INDIVIDUALLY numbered sweatbands, and sometimes they're really crappy, when the "prize" of the lot is a plain brown t-shirt. Really though, it's all about the anticipation, and that's what you're paying your money for--The hope that maybe you'll get something good.
