Starting a thread to track the crappyness of the Balloons of Celebration once they ship.

Thank you for doing this

now we can all unwrap Woot's B'Day crap together

I wonder how many of the Bag winners will use this thread. I suspect most will stay on the Dyson thread.

In for one YouTube crap!

THANKS WOOT! For the birthday crap! So nice of you to reverse the birthday tradition of receiving with so much giving! :D

Such a good day :3

I know, right? I want a Big ol' Celebration!!

2 here today: Facebook and G+. Kept refreshing YouTube but kids needed dinner. Stupid kids.

I got one and was excited. You mean you are not limited to one today? Wow! Not sure if I could live with the guilt!

SO how do we let the lucky ones know that this is the forum location? The forum is 50% of the fun!

I'm spreading, I'm spreading!

So who got which crap?

I'm in for one "in-your-crapday-suit" YouTube Balloons of Celebration Which I was able to type incorrectly and correct and still get one

I missed out on the second tweet and G+ but let the last FB one go as I was happy with the one.

Were people actually allowed to get multiple Balloons of Celebration? I can't imagine the excitement of having multiple hauls come in at the same time

I've put it in my signature. I'll leave it there for a while.

You are up early after a long Birthday wootabration.

I am afraid to talk about it, I kind of feel guilty. Which I guess is a good question.

Should someone feel guilty for getting more than one?

Maybe if the guilt overwhelms me (Its possible, Im a big softie) i'll make some Balloons of Celebration#39;s and send the folks that stand out with the best attitude but didnt get one...or we make a contest.

I also was thinking of putting the doubles I get together and sending out my own little Big ol' Celebrationpage :P

I think you and I are in the same boat for quantity.

I wouldn't feel guilty, I've been able to get more then one in the past. When they did the crapshot game I scored two as you can see from my signature.

Both boxes were nearly identical so I just figured it was karma and that I should just stick with one when I can get'em.

I got a Q, why does my order say it was placed on Friday The 13th?

Said this yesterday right after it went through.

Which Balloons of Celebration did you get? My only guess would be they are using your timezone for when your credit card was officially charged

Does anyone have any idea how many total craps were available? I was guessing from the heat maps that each offering was about 200 bags. If there were 10 offerings, and they did the usual 2500 total, that would be about 250 each which would be close to my guess.

It would also explain why they were gone almost instantly when they were discovered.

Enjoy your day!

Thanks. I think I am always civil (in the forums) I would expect a Chuck Norris round house kick to the head were I otherwise.

This was not from yesterdays offering, however I will start with:

7 Lbs
14.6 in. x 10.4 in. x 8.8 in.

Expected tomorrow

We keep them on standby.

You know, the sad thing about this forum plan is there is no section for quality posts . I think this forum will get long (I hope) with all the different Balloons of Celebration#39;s and ways to get them.

I believe there are Quantifiable Presents's in this forum (or at least the ability to get them)

Sorry I didnt write up what I meant correctly. I like to go to the first page to see what QPs there are so I know if I missed any awesomeness.

So TT or inky, you allowed to share how many bags total were sold yesterday?

I know there were 10 separate links... arbitrarily I'm guessing 100 per link, so 1000 bags total (which, with the ~500 from the past Woot-off, would reach the standard haul of 1500).

Yes, yes! Please do tell.

These were all of the craps in case anyone is wondering.

I am guessing 250 per as the standard has been 2500 lately. I don't think the 559 from last round is going to be factored in to this offering.

I was unable to score a bag but I must admit this was one of the most fun offerings yet. I tried for 6 of the 10 but think I must have a really slow Twitter/facebook update (it couldn't possibly be because I'm slow).

Congrats to all the bag winners. As far as you multiple bag winners, you played well within the rules and shouldn't feel badly at all. I think it's nice you want to share but I don't want a bag I didn't earn; others might feel differently. Overall, I think this was awesome and almost makes up for April Fools...

All woot offs are usually 2500-3000 Balloons of Celebration#39;s. I'm guessing 250 per link, because of the rate they sold out.

I am interested to see how many as well. I assume 2500ish.

Paid via PayPal, my timezone is that of woots.

My list page shows it as 7/12 but when I click on it for details it shows 7/13

i'm guessing way more than 2500. i'd say more like 5000.

Oh some of mine do also. It must be when they processed it.

They had 10 different offerings, all on social media type sites. I believe they had 3 on Facebook (1 was deals Facebook), 3 via Twitter, 1 Youtube, 1 Google+, 1 Pinterest, and 1 on Flickr.
