If it is, then I have to find out if EriKhan is still our DJ. :D

Yep, it all goes to my sister in Illinois, and when I'm done she lets me know how many boxes it is and what I owe her. Mostly everything gets sent priority flat rate boxes, but when I went nuts and bought 9 sets of Lock 'n' Locks on 3 different accounts, it took a HUGE box that came slow boat :0)

ah well, I was hoping for a surprise Brigade of Campers but.. no luck.

Maybe next woot off...

Still, not thrilled that we didn't get even a chance at a Brigade of Campers

Maybe next month? Please?

The new website just can't handle it. I don't think we'll see it again during a woot-off until they make some changes.

I was just going to mention her! ROFL I bought one, with the intent of sending her to my brother for Christmas a few years ago. However, by the time she got to me and I realized just how big she and her 'stage' were, I figured she'd go better on my rafter. Was quite a conversation piece for a long, long time! LOL Finally gave her to a friend's husband, who has lovingly cared for her ever since :0)

There used to be all kinds of neat gadgets like that; USB disco balls (still have 1), Woot lights (have BUNCHES of them still! LOL), basketball hoops, etc., not to mention Leak Frogs! I miss them (sigh)

It was run by Kahn's younger brother, Eric.

Because the items went faster, it is > the previous w00t-off by at least one point. This makes it the...

Yow know, Woot!, I try really hard to see things from your point of view and take up for you with the constantly complaining people. But when you pull crap like this (literally), you make me look really, really bad.

Thanks, Woot!. Thanks.

Taking a break from woot for a bit. By far the worst woot-off I can remember. I don't like where this is headed.

KEEP THE LAWYERS OUT OF IT! A Woot!-Off! without Bags of Crap, the most successful promotion in Woot! History can only be due to some Amazon lawyer's decision in response to a s'moreic threat of a lawsuit for not getting one...Look Woot!, HALF THE FUN OF WOOT!-OFF! is awaiting the Brigade of Campers and anxiously hoping to get one before the servers crash! It's like those who watch NASCAR for the accidents, but here, no one gets hurt or dies. You're turning more and more into one of those "other" one-day-deal sites with miscalculations like this. Just as disappointing as when I bought my FaceBook stock at $38/share. Hey! How about creating Brigade of Campers using FB stock next time?

No Bandolier of Carrots!?!? Only 500 last time and none this time? Woot-offs just aren't what they used to

I think it is obvious that until Woot can offer Bringers of Change during Woot-Offs without crashing the servers for an extended period of time, there will be none during Woot-Offs.

In the last event, they put one up in the first hours and the servers were down for longer than usual, and when they tried again, it was another catastrophic failure.

During the Birthday, they were handed out in various ways on social media, which kind of stinks for those us of not glued to tweets, facebook and other social sites while we work. (Just keeping up with Woot-Offs at work is impossible but much easier than following 8 different social media sites that would get a lot of us fired if all we did was monitor them for bags.

I hope this is not an end, but I fear the worst as this "Beta" woot can't handle some of the normal items (Rechargeable Batteries anyone?)

Still, Woot is one of my favorite sites and I have dropped quite a bit of cash into the Woot Coffers. No bags suck, but it wont stop me from buying from Woot.

If it is the end, I am sure there will be different variations come up on other sites such as the mystery boxes and backpacks of the unknown.

My best to Woot coders who I am sure are working hard to make customers happy.

I gave away my monkeys.....

A 2 day woot-off ends without an opportunity to complain about not being able to score a Bear or Cat?, and the offering of a monkey seen two or three times previously on these pages...

No crap.
No new monkey.
Nothing of particular interest or funky (that's what set woot apart from the pack in the first place).

Welcome to Randy and the "Forgot my Sunscreen" Blues... Or Amawoot.

Whatever you care to call it, woot as we once knew it is dead.

My monkey collection (I have all except for maybe 3?) including the elusive sock monkey is for sale to the highest bidder. I'll even throw in a set of woot lights..

Because there was no Bag of Carp on this Woo-off, I say we demote Colonel Crap to Buck Private Crap.

Ha, I scored to bags of crap. The called them screaming monkeys - kids played with them less than 5 minutes and a hand fell off both of them.
