$100,000 Crate o' Crap

@eonfifty It’s Mr. Pibb to you, fella -
No, really. I drank some of it long ago when I would drink such things. Here’s a history:

@eonfifty @stolicat ohai. Oh wait. Two "b"s… That’s someone else.

@miko1 yeah, the first time it started at $50 and was supposed to go up as items were added. People didn’t have any self-control and several bananas plus an item or two were bought for 50-ish dollars each. Around $150 and above seems to be the mark people are uncomfortable wasting money on such a thing, so decreasing the price allows woot to add more items while the price gets more reasonable.

@medz @miko1 I forgot to go back and check on that when it happened. Were the contents revealed?

@miko1 @Ozzie2191 contents were revealed to be exactly as they appeared in the stream and thus not worthy of a proper reveal.

@cinoclav They had people trying to buy the last one for $50,000 and wouldn’t let them.

@sammydog01 That’s asking for a lawsuit since there’s nothing that says you can’t buy it right now.

@cinoclav - If that were true, there’d be a lot of bag of crap lawsuits!

@RedOak

1. call your CC company for a credit increase to 100K
2. pay it down today before you make your offer!
   (oh wait… there’s that pesky $5 shipping that will put you over the limit still!)

@chienfou @RedOak $6 shippping

@jaybird @RedOak guess that shows how long it’s been since I bought anything there!

@RedOak… wait a minute… “Bluemaple” asked the same question over at the woot! site… Could it be you are one and the same…hmmmm???

@chienfou exposed.

So you don’t think those two usernames were distinct enough?

Surely this must happen more often than is obvious.

(Didn’t want an aggressive user over there associating over here when I started here. Thankfully, they are exceedingly rare over here.)

@RedOak I noticed a trend in the name patterns so figured it was something like that…

@LordSalem It’s a crazy big box.

@sammydog01 but they said they’d repackage what was in there once someone paid monopoly money for it.

@Kidsandliz But no way is it gonna fill up.

@sammydog01 which is on the bottom and will get squashed

@Kidsandliz Plastic bananas are pretty tough.

@sammydog01 Oh. Presumed it would be real based on the write up for that event. EDIT I see they put it on the pillow. Maybe it is real.

@therealjrn And yet I’ve been watching for 2 hours.

@sammydog01 ha ha I just made a Twitch log-in.

@therealjrn IT JUST GOT SO EXCITING!

@therealjrn And now they’re trying to get an intern to take off his pants.

@sammydog01 what rip.

@sammydog01 *a

@cinoclav But there was a Barney in there.

@cinoclav I wanted the Barney plushie.

@sammydog01 Hahaha. Pinch, poke, you owe me a banana split.

@Barney Looking back at the video it was a Barney costume for a dog. Lady-sized.

@sammydog01 Damn, you mean I could’ve tortured Lady with a Barney costume? Hell, if I knew that, I would’ve bought the crate.

@therealjrn It was some other dipshit – from California, I think.

@Barney @therealjrn was there anything of real value in there?

@Barney Oh, a different dipshit huh? lol

@Barney @tinamarie1974 There was a Barney costume for Lady that was worth at least $5.99

@Barney @therealjrn I saw that and the back pack, banana, pillow and nerf gun (?) Couldn’t make anything else out

@tinamarie1974 Bosie ear buds, some kid toy of 3D tool to squeeze out a thin thread to make things, some hanging mesh thing for the kitchen, pillow, mostly total crap. I seriously doubt the value totals to what the buyer paid if selling via ebay.

@therealjrn @tinamarie1974 Some Bose SoundSport earbuds. I’ve got a pair, they are pretty nice.

I don’t know about anything else, I was only checking in every now and then.

@Barney @therealjrn yeah…I think i should feel slighted…

@therealjrn I was waiting for less than $100 before paying much attention

@medz

@Kidsandliz @therealjrn @barney I guess a sucker IS born every minute

@Barney @medz We lovelovelove our @medz.

@medz @therealjrn Some days.
