Yknow, www.woot.com , the site that sells a random object everyday and on somedays (like tonight) there's a "woot-off" where they put a set amount of an object on sale until it runs out when a new thing comes on sale? Where the holy grail is the bag o' crap? Anyone?

I'm gonna be up all night looking for that BoC; a few times it happened while I was at work and I was barely logging in but of course the site froze and I came up empty. Does anyone know anyone who has actually gotten one? I've of course heard the stories of getting 3 big screen HDTVs and other shit.

What is the Bag of crap? Is it just something random that shows up once every so often?

nope. I've always been skeptical about buying a bag o crap.
but maybe I should start??

just some knives up there now. we'll see that shows up when I get up in the morning. i can't be staying up all night, that's for sure. I'll check during my nightly pee break and that's about it.
I like www.1saleaday.com myself. Slightly larger selection of fantastic deals. Even got an MP3 player w/video and a battery that lasts w whopping 2 hours. One of these days I'll find a watch that I realy like and get it.

Exactly, but most commonly it shows up during "woot-offs". The bag o' crap is always only $3.00 (the shipping for whatever pops up every day is ALWAYS $5, btw) and you can buy up to 3 of anything that comes up. So you can imagine getting 3 HDTVs or 3 laptops for $3.00 each and only $5.00 is quite a draw. The stuff they have randomly each day varies in quality too. I got a niiiice car seat (dad over here) for $99 + shipping where it usually retails for over $250.00.

nope. must have missed it. But we already have that sandisk player thats up there now. annnnd sold out.
I've gotten 3 BoCs before. I got a bricked mp3 player, some Yanni book, and a curious george shower kit.
I got my wootalyzer up and running. I have a final tomorrow, so I can't stay and watch the wootoff, but if a BoC comes, I'll be ready :D

Sometimes they have some pretty funky USB toys, like desk fans, disco mice and desktop pole dancers (you heard that right).

I have a bad feeling I'm going to get addicted to this.
The smart-ass comments people make are hilarious
Edit: Any of you guys use 200nipples.com ?

Same here...damn I think I heard about this thing but never bothered to look into. Although with the last time sitting there and hitting F5 when the last item sold out was just a tad faster than the Wootalyzer was.

I don't know about you guys, but in my opinion the Woot-Off's this year have been lacking in the "OH BUY NOW!" dept.

Even though this would never happen, I'd laugh my ass off if a TE stick suddenly popped up

I've never been fast enough to nab a BoC. The closest I got to it was within 7 minutes of sell-out.

There's nothing wrong with refurb.
And woot still doesn't deliver to canada. :crybaby:

Yeah it's a shame.
I just get my cousin to buy it and send it to me, it costs me more, but it is worth it sometimes.

well i tried to the the bag of crap, and I got to the processing page, but got booted back to the main page. So I guess I was too slow.

I got my Bag of Crap! I'll let you know what's in it. I only have heard of one confirmed case of anyone ever getting an HDTV from it, but I'm not setting my hopes that high.

Only time I ever got a BoC was back in '04 before they were so elusive.
I got three of these document holders (http://www.shoplet.com/Kensington-Document-Holder-With-5-Slots-3-1-2-x3-1-2-Blue/sv1s112997_t1tn.html), a camcorder case made by iOmega, and a ball point pen. :rofl:

My girl said they stocked a BoC around 3:30 this afternoon...i've been busy with work and other stuff as soon as I got home. Ah well, such is life of a wooter.

I think the BOC is always 1 dollar each. You can buy up to 3. And I don't think anyone has ever gotten 3!!! HDTV's. People have gotten 1, but I really really doubt 3.
Anyway, I check woot and woot.shirt daily. I bought this monitor from them (22 inch lcd flat screen for $150), it was a reburb too, and its been like 2 years now. I've also got a couple of mp3 players and maybe like 5 shirts.
