Dave, I've read several on the blog. It's usually t shirts or mini helicopters or Wootoff lights, but some have reported flat screen TVs and Ipods. You just never know.
Jim
Okay, Jim, then you need to be sure to tell me what you get. I bought the mini helicopter about six months ago for ten bucks, and it's a real kick. I use it to terrorize my two cats. (Kidding! They're scared to death of it. Wimps... :hysterical: )

I had 2 computers signed on and was clicking refresh like mad but the dreaded 'sold out' sign came on at about 20 minutes in. So no sale, no joy, no Crap- again.
I was gonna buy a Roomba to terrorize the dog, but have resisted. So far the Woot haul is a powered hose reel, a couple of watches, a few t-shirts, SD cards, several bottles of wine. I know there must be more, but no Crap.
Jim
Can someone please explain Woot and Woot Bags of Crap?
I've gone to their site and I sort of know what a Woot Off is. I think I must be missing something. I wanna play, but I don't understand the game!
Part of what makes Wooting fun is the clever text they post on the website describing the item for sale. Over time, you soon get to believe the Woot staff is just this side of certifiable...
It's all in fun.

Ed, I have tried to swoop on those power squids a couple of times, but they're always sold out before I see 'em. They look super handy for dealing with power blocks.

WOW! Congrats for reincarnating the thread from 12 years ago, AND scoring a Bag O' Crap! Let us know what is in it. Gosh, I haven't even visited Woot for years. Fun memories.I finally scored one! I just bought a Woot Bag of Crap! I've been refreshing that silly website all day hunting for one ... and finally! I can't wait until it arrives! Whee!

Yeah, I've missed a lot of TUGgers who've moved along- as we all will over time. Fern, pjrose, EZ_ED and even BMWguynw (whoever that is!Nice to see an old thread that Fern posted in
Woot Email said:You did it! YOU scored a veritable cornucopia of disappointment that we like to call the inimitable Bag o Crap! And not only that, but you bagged that fastest moving BoC of all time: The BOC of Mischief Days!!!!
You must have had lightning fast hands to clickity-click your wee mouse button or pokedy-poke with your wee finger so quick as to beat out THOUSANDS of other Wooters for the prize! Huzzah!
To sing a song of thanks, we’d like to bring in our friends, the Doompa-Poompas, a small rhyming troupe of fellows that may look a bit like the morally-superior orange characters from that Gene Wilder movie but are legally and distinctly separate (so don’t sue us).
Come on in, boys and sing ‘em what they got!
{small troupe of brightly colored fellows march in}
“Doompa, Poompa, Loopity-Poo, we have a little song to sing you. Dompa, Poompa Loopity-Snee, We see you have scored your own BoC!
“What do you get when you receive a Boc? A bucket of sad and you’re charged small fee.
“What did you think, getting terribly crushed, After clicking so fast and feeling terribly rushed?
“Next time you’ll think more than twice about that, Maybe just spend the afternoon with your cat! What do you think will come of that? (More money in your bank account).
“Doompa, Poompa, Loopity-Par, If you spend wisely, your cash will go far! Dompa, Poompa Loopity-Ointment, Because for a BoC, your reward shall be Disappointment!
“You will live in happiness too Like the Doompa Poompa Zoompety Dopyright Which for legal reasons are not under copyright!
We love you, Woot!

Same! This was years ago, but it was so random. Would also buy another immediately if I could!Once upon a time I scored a BOC. I have Amazon Prime so shipping was free. For the life of me I can’t recall one worthwhile item I received. I didn’t even get a “flying monkey”. Would I buy another one? In a heartbeat.
