    This was, IMO, the crummiest wootoff yet -- I've been a regular since 2004, and I usually buy two or three things on each wootoff. This one lasted 3 days, which is the longest we've had, but there was a dearth of things worth buying. Not to say there wasn't some decent stuff, but not too much was particularly compelling. I did buy a leakfrog though . . .

    Here's a list of what was in the wootoff.

    For future reference, when there's a wootoff, it's best to use a woot-off checker. That helps reduce the load on Woot's servers.

    Sorry...I should've updated this with my booty. Bag of crap is truly an accurate description.

    1 X WTF Crips/Bloods King/Queen Of Spades Bullet Whistle/Keychain...trashed
    1 X Pooping Cow Keychain
    1 X Hand-On-Ass Jeans Keychain...already thrown away
    1 X Samsonite Camera Bag
    1 X Thermos Pub Glass
    1 X Virgin Pulse MP3 Player (WITH INSTRUCTION MANUALS)...it actually works

    That was only one. My coworker next to me ordered three and ended up with pretty much the same stuff. So apparently there's no big difference between ordering one, two or three.

    Here's a link to the Bag Of Crap thread from woot...

    http://www.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=980917

    I think people started getting their stuff in the 70's or 80's pages. Many also posted what they got in their bags of crap.

    I bought this nice portable dvd player with divx/xvid/avi support from the last wootoff. Its great because I've been looking for a dvd player with AVI support and I found one off of Woot. Not only is it portable, but it has A/V connections for the TV also.

    Today has been really slow. There were a couple of items that have taken a long time to sell out of. Hopefully Bag Of Crap is coming soon!

    I'm wondering too. I'm looking at it's wiki page but I'm still lost. :confused:

    Good deal on that DVD player although it is refurbished.

    The WootOff is a continual onslaught of woots, one after another. The WootOff will last a few days. So, as one item ends, the next immediately begins. Most items are repeats of the normal items that woot usually sells (like the Roomba vacuums). But, on occasion, they will throw up a random item, such as the Bag Of Crap and the place goes nuts. HTH

    Dammit...just missed another BOC. I actually got my order in, but woot returned a message saying something errored during my purchase process. I would say the error is related to their servers getting hammered.
