Just noticed the tracker is up:

I was able to snag a we-eight-the-crap after a very long and crazy day.

Good luck everyone!

I added my crap to the sack chart

Added my Crap to the Wootsack as well.

I wonder if the geographical distribution mght give a clue as to the quantities. Consider this;

For the June 26 Crap, the 500 piece sale was sold to people in 47 different states. The 59 piece sale was sold to 26 different states.

For the July 12 Crap, the number of states for each sale was: 21, 24, 20, 17, 17, 17, 16, 28, 13, 22.

Based on this, I would say that the number of Bags per offering must have been in the 50 piece range, although someone more versed in statistics could probably make a better estimate.

I liked seeing the quantity of items sold. Is this now a thing of the past? I cannot find the quantity sold for today's sold out lappy, for example.

I was away from my computer yesterday, but when I sat down at the end of the day to catch up, I saw that the Balloons of Celebration had been popping up on social media. Except for Twitter, which I only use to follow a dozen sites, I don't have social media accounts, so figured I'd saved a lot of wasted time.

There I was, casually going about my business, when my Twitter feed pops up the last Balloons of Celebration link. It took me a moment to realize that was what it was, but I clicked the link, logged in, hit the buy button and like magic I had a Balloons of Celebration. Easiest, quickest, least stressful crap purchase ever!

It's amazing you had to log in and still were able to get one. I was logged in and ready but got directed to the waiting room.

Congrats to everyone who got one or more and laments to everyone who missed out. Some time the crap giveth and other time the crap taketh.

Glad to see no one got too butthurt about not getting them, and I really have to say I loved the Social distribution method. Really seemed to prevent against botters getting all of them. I love a good scavenger hunt, even if it means going on G+.

I'll post as soon as I get mine.

I don't know, but just going off of how slow I normally am, I'd have to say there was more. That, or I was in ninja mode yesterday. It felt like the easiest crap ever. ...that just sounds odd.

woo-hoo I scored the Google+ birthday crap and my husband was the one responsible for the sellout for the Facebook Deal.Woot birthday crap!

Excellent, now to make myself smarter and wittier or at the very leaset relevant.

This post seems to have a helpful quality to it...

I won 4 yesterday, 2 for me and 1 each for hubby and kid. I know some folks who won 14 and 15. Should be interesting when those are deleivered.

Holy crap! 14 or 15! That's awesome. I was so excited seeing my name as the first sucker on the first bag of the day, so I just kept trying for more. I grabbed 8 yesterday, 5 for me, 3 for my partner. Also managed to get several coworkers to log on quickly enough to nab a few for themselves.

I feel much better now, I was feeling guilty about getting 5. Although I have a wife and 3 kids, to its one for each of us.

14 or 15? I think people were just trying to pretend that they are getting an old school Big ol' Celebration pallet.

I for one only received one bag and I think it was the last one that was on twitter.

Yes, I have friends and coworkers that try for crap every time and never get it. They'll be getting some of my craps.

Man... 14 or 15?

I noticed for a few of the offerings there were a quite a few accounts that were "joined today" to buy the Balloons of Celebration, but that's quite the effort.

Also makes me not feel too guilty about getting my 4 Balloons of Celebration.

But... I couldn't help myself, what with the free shipping and them costing $3 a pop!

Somewhere in all the chaos I was able to apply a coupon too! XD

Also, it was fun having all the wooters and wootployees over in DWChat, made for a great day of celebration!

One place I was really expecting a bag to appear was on Moofi, but it never happened.

So, this is definitely the place for sketchy people with more than one bag, then? I got three.

Welcome brother :P

Sketchy indeed. So many mad people

People would have been mad either way, you just gave them someone to blame when you mentioned how many you snagged.

Next time, you might want to hold off a couple days, until the adrenaline from the hunt wears off. ;)

So true. People are always mad when they don't get crap, myself included. However, I get upset at myself for not being fast enough when I can't get one. It's silly to get mad at others for their cat-like reflexes, fast internet speeds, and/or ability to access webpages that are blocked at your work.

Wow, I didn't expect any, yesterday and was lucky to get one via Facebook last night. It will be my second bag, and comes at a good time. The first arrived after a death of a relative and this one should arrive after my Mom has open heart surgery. Maybe the Balloons of Celebration gods like to spread a little joy at times of stress?

Well into page two, this thread has hope!

Now to go add my crap to the list.

Can you pin certain threads to the top of the forums? Like a "sticky"

I managed to succeed at getting my box of cake, but realized after doing it i had messed something up. Thus I quickly emailed service@woot and got a wonderful and helpful response. And i had other issues that happened with different purchases recently and feel the need to say that Riely, Evan and Tyler have all been so kind and much appreciated (as is all the service@woot staff).
So THANK YOU!!!!!!

So, will you help me with this tracker? Never used it before. I went to enter my info, had all the boxes filled in, clicked the link for the verification code, typed it, pressed enter and....nothing. It reads "submit (disabled)". Am I doing something wrong?

Are you trying this from a computer or a phone?

The trick is to click the button to get your code and then just type it. Don't try to enter it anywhere and you shouldn't need to press enter.

You should see the numbers go from dark green to light green as you type them.

ThunderThighs wrote:No, sorry. It only goes to the top with a new post. I've got the link in my signature and I'll point people here as much as I can. I've also told Colonel Crap about the thread.

Figured I'd ask as I didn't know what powers you guys had here in the forums

BTW, if you report to the Colonel again before these Balloons of Celebration#39;s ship I could really use some "Nightmeow On Elm Street" Shirts. My daughter is quite upset I didn't order her one, my niece and nephew both want one, friends ask about it. It is the most discussed shirt I own and everytime I wear it my kid pokes her finger into my chest and says "I want one of these shirts, it is SO CUTE"

So as many and in any size from men's or women's small and up that you have laying around would make many people happy, but only the one is most important to me.

Just to note, I did try to order another one for her, I waited until a wootoff to save 20% but the shirt had already fallen off the list, I was sad and still tell her I'm working on it, I check eBay and teetrade but no luck as of yet. You guys and the Random Crap are my last hope!

I might be a little overly excited and redecorating in preparation for the new Balloons of Celebration

Too much?

No, no its perfect!

Welp, just got my (what was reported as, but did not feel like) 7Lb crap.

1x Black Duffel
1x Blank Yellow Shirt with tag ripped off
2x 4 pack AAA batteries
1x Air-X Helicopter with no controller (Boooooooo)
1x Wii Charging station (Opened)

No, because Kirk is still wearing pants.
