There is only one "batch" of Bandolier of Carrots's. It's divided into parts. If you got any, you made a sale on #16. You can't make multiple sales.

In other news, I made 16.4 after getting denied at 16.3!!! :-)

I cant believe that .. there was some error .. I think the crap was not there this time ..

Brainlazy wrote:Splitting it up like this was the worst damn idea ever.

Actually, it keeps people here! Good idea since most people would leave immediately after it showed up. Now people will stay to get it later and probably buy more stuff.

WOOT - you are marketing GENIUSES!

Yeah, I wonder if 16.4 is it for the Blinged-Out Cabbage, they've sold 6000 craps after 16.4, a nice round number... hoping for a 16.5 though, since I've been shut out of 16.x so far...

Broke my woot cherry! This is my second woot-off, missed the first one's Bandolier of Carrots due to work. It hung up at the processing screen, had me worried. Took a few minutes for it to show up in my account

I loved that my order was denied due to something with paypal and yet, the joy is, I don't actually use paypal...

ScottJ175 wrote:So do they commonly repeat the bag-o-crap during the woot-off?

I thought it made one, fleeting appearance like the Yeti.

This is new multi-wootness! It roxors!

Holy Christ, I got into the line again, followed by a "Your Order Did NOT Make It Through, LOSER!"

After being told I was in line, then being told I had already ordered (but then the order didn't truly exist), then being bounced out of line twice (while some who didn't bother clicking "I want 3" got through and "may" get 3 according to Snapster), I think I am just about to the point of putting on some Emo and freaking out.

Or I can sit here and hope to have my dreams, desires and hopes totally skewered again by the evil known as Woot.

But hey, you are MY kind of evil, Woot, so here I will stay.

*grumble*grumble*

No. No it doesn't.

I have to admit, I kind of hope we're done with the Bricks of Coolness for today. I don't think I can take any more of this drama!

I gave a Bandolier of Carrots for last christmas' work gift exchange. Only one person recognized it..

Today, I've tried to get the Bandolier of Carrots on two notices, and it sold out during the purchase process.

This is certainly confusing the wootcheckers.

i got 3

I was wait listed the first time. That's all I had gotten in the second and third times. Too slow the fourth I guess. No crap in the end.

you're in line, if a woot becomes available.
we're basically sold out, but if someone ahead of you gets denied, we'll sell it to whoever's in line.


Poop.

Finally got some bags of crap...3!

I bought 3 Bandolier of Carrots and then when this last one came up I got all the way to the second to last page, but it said there was an error: This user has already purchased this item. So it seems you can only get them once this woot-off

Nah, looks like a ton of people put in for one, just to save time. I don't understand why people selected two though?

Heh, fogot I could check that, I feel less like a noob now.

After faithfully trying, failing, rinse repeat x3 (oh yeah, and once earlier today as well), I have obtained a Bag o' Crap!

I have to say, it feels much sweeter after so many failed attempts. Thank you Woot, I think I love you.

I just wanted to post after everyone is done reading. Got three yippee.

I tried each time and the page timed out before loading after I clicked I want one. I suppose dial up people are just screwed. No Blinged-Out Cabbage for any of us living in BFE.

Wow, I somehow got in.. after being mad at the world for missing 16.1, 16.2, and 16.3 at meetings.

This seems like a pretty good way to do it all around, to at least give people a bit of a chance other than missing the ONE chance... at least it's been spread over a few hours...

Thanks, Woot!

Who are you? Bon Jovi?

it's a good thing i'm at work making $53.00 an hour to watch this since 7:00am waiting on all these bags o crap or i'd be pissed.

Q: Who in their right mind would only put in for 1 ?

A: People who don't stand a chance at getting 3 because it takes that much longer to click another button!


Put me in for 1, FINALLY!

I seriously lucked-out and got 3 bags.I usually click on Woot once a day to read the descriptions of what's up for grabs and bag o crap was availalble.

First Woot. Got a Package of Caca. Wonder what it will be.....

I knew this would happen - staying awake for 39 hours of woot off only to have to leave for a meeting and have the bundle of chinchillas show up immediately after I leave. Oh well, I don't have to worry about flushing my Bandolier of Carrots.

FINALLY! After 2 years and being with in the first 30 seconds of 4 other Barack Obama's Children! Yay! $8 for broken stuff and dollar store rejects! Woohoo!

What's all this 16.1, 16.2 crap that everyones referring to? I don't get it.

mmhmm. suuuuure. then why haven't you EVER bought anything from woot then? TOO POOR. THATS WHY!!11!!1

Grrrr I missed this shi't

I just wanted to see how long I've been a member

got in on the first time the Blinged-Out Cabbage came up, said server was busy, refreshed and got the order screen, entered all info and clicked button, but it said they were sold out. just keep the screen up for about an hour clicking it every minute or so, and it amazingly went through! First Woot, First Blinged-Out Cabbage!! My fiance thinks I'm crazy!

Do you have some sort of script set up?

no, i use paypal instead of a credit card because it seems to go faster...just got really lucky

Finally got through on the 4th attempt.

Got hosed 2x going for THREE like one wasn't enough.
First I hit I WANT ONE
THen I greedily hit IWANT THREE, and by the time I got down to the BIG GOLD BUTTON they were sold out.

Third time I just took one and got it, but they took longer to sell out....
Maybe I should have been greedy??

Anywoot

I'M HAPPY!!

has anybody gotten 9BOC's today?

...the 2nd one is worse, I am just sure of it.

At last. 5 months later, finally got my first sets of 3 on the 4th go around of these craps. Sorry to all my floormates who I neglected to yell to.

this wootoff, the Bandolier of Carrots has been different. instead of just a 1 time Bandolier of Carrots...it's been showing up multiple times. so keep trying and also if you get to the order and it warns you that they are sold out...don't give up. i spent 2 more minutes at that warning and kept hitting continue...got it x3
