Well, I'm unaware if you guys know about a dot com site called woot.com but I'll give you a quick run down.
They are a site that sells electronics and computer parts at cheaper prices than you can find anywhere else. There is a catch however, there is only 1 item per day (unless there is a woot-off; where they sell lots of items one after another for two days straight). There just so happened to be a woot-off recently and being an avid follower, I did lose a lot of sleep over watching for good items.
I ended up scoring an adaptec gamebridge (pretty cool product) but for my 7th item in my woot career, I had bought the coveted Bag of Crap.
The bag of crap is pretty much a grab bag, you are not smart if you only buy a quantity of 1 or 2 when this item comes up. When you buy a quantity of 3 you end up getting your moneys worth, but anyways, to make a long story short I bought 3.
Well the box came and I opened it up and I saw a note on the top of the pile of stuff. "Your 3rd pc. of crap could not fit in this box, sorry". After calling woot shipping about shipping concerns as I live on campus (I have no tracking number for my 3rd item so I have no idea when it will be here or who will be able to sign for the package in the mail room) I found on the forums that the person who last got that exact note over a year ago received a 61" DLP TV.
There is one problem though. Another person got a note as well, except his looked nothing like mine. On top of this fact, the community also remembered that woot.com had bought Ken Jennings' Giant Head. So speculation is that one of us gets the giant head and the other something else.
In either event it has been the best $8 I have ever spent. I can't wait to see my 3rd crap.
It's customary to post pictures of your BoC so here is my post from the woot forums:
