Well, between work being a pain in the arse and the ongoing woot off… I was a little distracted. Woot Off you say? Was there any bags of crap? Why yes there was.
As usual the servers melted. They not only melted but it was minutes before the next product could even be bought… and the servers where still cranky for more then an hour afterwards. I had caught it just as it appeared, but thought I failed as server crash followed server crash and the F5 button was wore down. Sorta peeved I had lost I wrapped up what I had done and finally took a late lunch nearby. While wrapping up some stuff I glanced through the forum post about the BoC, and fairly well along I read a post about a person who had given up, kicked a couple garbage cans and then 2 hours later noticed he had actually purchased 3 of the coveted random crap. So I quickly checked and sure enough my purchase was there too. In a much better mood, the work day ended much better, and the wife and I made plans for a romantic dinner for two out followed by the new bond film (review coming).
Below you’ll find the final list of what was in the last woot off.

Gotta love those Woot-offs! The same thing happened to me and I ended up getting the BOC! You should also check out the new deal a day site, Tanga.com as I just got one of their mystery packages and got about $120 worth of stuff for $15. It was sweet. Check out their addicting puzzles too. Thanks for the blog!
Is that why there was really no posting over the weekend?
What did you get in your “bags of crap?”
That and the fact I was pretty busy. I ran across some interesting stories, but the ones I did see I figured had been hit over the head enough by other blogs. There comes a point in which I find agreeing with thousands or disagreeing with thousands annoying.
For example Casino Royale. Unless you are under a rock, you know that it’s a freaking great movie. Daniel Craig actually does a damn good job of an ex-SAS trooper given the double-O status and dealing with his first mission. The only complaint I had was the romance part went a bit long… but it was part of the freaking movie. If it wasn’t there… it’d feel lacking. Plus how it ended left you going DAMN! He’s a freaking bad ass… and if he wants to drink Guiness rather then martini’s at opening night parties… that’s fine with me.
It’ll take a couple weeks to a month for all of them to trickle their way out. In fact the TV’s from last one was just recently delivered… raved about and probably one of the biggest reasons for last weeks craziness. I doubt they’ll have anything like that this time… but I’m sure it’ll easily be worth the $8…
The first couple people got surprise packages on their doorstep today. Woot actually overnighted Wii’s to at least 2 people.

I thought i had an order secured but it looks like I’m out of luck on my BOC this time! Tanga is having a Woot-off thing starting tonight. They call it a Tangathon? Anyway, I hear they are selling some new apple shuffles if you are interested in that, and some Tanga Trash (like BOC). Starts at 7 pm pst
[...] I earlier mentioned that woot had a woot off and in it they had sold some 4500 pieces of crap. Well the “crap” mentioned has started rolling into the buyers and I’ve started a spreadsheet on Google Spreadsheet listing it all. [...]
