((Shockwave)) November 6, 2006 Share ((Shockwave)) Member November 6, 2006 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: My bag of crap has come today: OPENING OF THE CRAP: *sees writing on a piece of paper on the top of the pile* 0_0 "Your 3rd pc. of crap couldn't fit in this box, sorry." wow.. wowowowowowow... I'm really excited right now. A crap that could fit in the box 0_0. Apology accepted woot, can't wait to see it. Bag and Craps 1 and 2: 1x Camera Bag 2x USB Locks 1x Wireless Optical Mouse EDIT: Tried to take a better picture for truth, web cam is kinda grainy. It is genuine, I wouldn't take the time to fake it. lol The $1 3rd crap: Unloaded: Action Shot: (little sister took this one.. lol) Time stamp wasn't changed.. oh well.

Your piddling economic and physical laws are mere suggestions for woot.com, mere suggestions which are read in the boardroom, inspiring uproarious laughter, and summarily dismissed with a chuckle.

NOFX November 7, 2006 Share NOFX Member November 7, 2006 Im sooo mad!!! I hit them up with 3 bags of crap right when they showed up, but people had the servers pegged and my order couldn't go through!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
((Shockwave)) November 7, 2006 Author Share ((Shockwave)) Member November 7, 2006 so when does it arrive? it's already there, those are pictures we took of it. We changed the batteries in the camera 2 weeks or more ago that's why the time stamp is like that. As you can see, my gaming computer made a cameo appearance in the second shot, and yes I did play HL2 on it. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
