@ruouttaurmind

Yeah, but this time there will be BoCs if you’re into wasting your money like that.

@mfladd

Unless she can muster SERIOUS self control.

Care to make things interesting?

@mfladd @PlacidPenguin IIRC, she avoided ordering anything in the last Woot-off?

@PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind Which will make it that much harder for her with this one.

@mfladd @PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind
That Charizard shirt is calling to me…

@mfladd @ruouttaurmind

She bought memory cards and Sharpies.

@mfladd @PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind Wow. Even I didn’t remember I bought a memory card and Sharpies.

@mfladd @ruouttaurmind @sammydog01

I looked through that thread before, though I knew already that those items were bought.

@PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind @sammydog01 The penguin has extensive files on all of us!

@mfladd @ruouttaurmind @sammydog01

Not sure why he’d want that.

@mfladd I adjusted that to I’ll only buy one non-food thing this week but based on how fast that crap went it may be back to zero by the end of the day.

@mfladd @ruouttaurmind @sammydog01

If you must know, I try to learn as little as possible about mehmbers.

When I DO learn stuff, I try to remember as little as possible.

@ruouttaurmind I bought one.

@ruouttaurmind If I had been awake, actually would have had a use for it and may have to buy some similar soon anyway.

I much prefer the copper-based stuff. It’s never made sense to me to use aluminum-based anti-seize on aluminum parts.

@ruouttaurmind Those things aren’t exactly built for speed.

@sammydog01 I’ve had it for about a week and I can’t really figure out what they are good for.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@ruouttaurmind They’re good for watching amazon Prime video.

@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01

Killing insects, and warding off penguins which are placid.

@sammydog01 But that’s what my 65” TV is for!

@PlacidPenguin $30 penguin swatter. Neat.

@ruouttaurmind

You can’t swat a penguin if they won’t go near a Fire tablet.

@PlacidPenguin I’ll disguise it as a Google Pixel.

@ruouttaurmind

How would you disguise Arizona?

@PlacidPenguin The same way they disguise cell towers to look like palm trees and cacti.

@ruouttaurmind

Completely inconspicuous. And by ‘inconspicuous’, I mean COMPLETELY CONSPICUOUS!!!

@PlacidPenguin

@PlacidPenguin It’s got like a Hanna-Barbera vibe going on.

@PlacidPenguin Maybe no Happy Hour, but based on these items, plenty of crappy hours.

@ruouttaurmind

But what am I supposed to do during that time instead?

I’m currently feeling very frowny.

@PlacidPenguin Penguins can’t frown. No lips.

@ruouttaurmind

Oh yeah? Well I have a picture which would prove otherwise.

@PlacidPenguin Again? I guess not enough people showed up last time.

@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 TT said she is currently moving so I guess putting up with our shenanigans could be a bit more stress inducing than she can take currently, lol. Maybe she already boxed up her rum supply.

@mfladd Not to worry, I’ll find you plenty of things you don’t need and can’t afford in the coming weeks.

(I got your back bro )

@ruouttaurmind

Like I said: You enjoy wasting @mfladd’s money.

@PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind I haven’t even really paid attention to the woot-off and have spent 0 dollars

@djslack This.

You kiddies have a blast. I’m quitting before I Buy a stupid miniature trash bin.

@ruouttaurmind Two stupid miniature trash cans.

I have been reading the reviews and maybe I won’t get an air fryer Perhaps I will get another Zojirushi appliance instead. Those are always good in my experience. I have been needing a new griddle.

@lichme Snagged one thanks to WS. Now I can enjoy the rest of the wootoff and hope for memory cards or other things I have an actual need for, lol.

@ruouttaurmind

A different comment than the one you made earlier this morning about sizes, and ended with a TWSS?

@PlacidPenguin No, but now that you mention it… WTF happened to the 3D printer I posted earlier???

That comment was SUPER TAME compared to some of the stuff people put up in the forums.

@ruouttaurmind

You didn’t actually link to any item. You made a semi-coherent comment, which vanished within 90 seconds.

@PlacidPenguin I guess I thought I included the /wootstalker link. Oops.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@ruouttaurmind

Even WITH the link, the comment would have only been semi-coherent.

Although it WOULD have had some context.

@PlacidPenguin It would have been fully coherent. There is a 3D FDM printer listed on Woot that has a huge 20"x20"x20" build volume. That’s massive for a consumer 3D printer.

@ruouttaurmind This one?
/wootstalker https://computers.woot.com/offers/sainsmart-x-creality3d-cr-10-standard-3d-printer

SainSmart x Creality3D CR-10 Standard 3D Printer
Price: $399.99
Condition: New

I’m confused about the build area as it lists two sets of dimensions.

@PlacidPenguin PIKA!!!

@sammydog01

Let me explain this “don’t look” concept to you…

@ruouttaurmind I bought one dammit.

@sammydog01

Of each?

@sammydog01 I’ve got so many of these monkeys from years of BOC. Now when I get a BOC I hope there isn’t a monkey in there.

@PlacidPenguin Nope. Bacon and eggs.

@ruouttaurmind

I include duplicates when I participate in Mehxchanges.

@walarney Did I miss another BOC?

@ruouttaurmind @walarney Yep. I was in the back of Target with crappy data. My monkey will probably be a consolation prize.

Consulting the interwebs says this is a fair price, but not a Black Friday bargain.

@ruouttaurmind I still have one of these left from the mehpocolypse that happened at my house.

@ruouttaurmind @tnhillbillygal I’ve installed mine. Works ok. A couple of times the recorded clip only caught the delivery person walking away.

@medz That used to happen sometimes when I had a Ring Pro. Now that I have the Skybell… still happens. Some of those delivery drivers are like Ninjas.

@PlacidPenguin TOO LATE!

@sammydog01

You’re really not that good at following directions to NOT LOOK.

@PlacidPenguin You’re really bad at posting quickly.

@sammydog01

Just scrolled up.

I blame @lichme that I didn’t do that before.

@PlacidPenguin I don’t need another shirt. I don’t need another shirt.

@ruouttaurmind It’s back on.

@ruouttaurmind

No.

YOU’RE the most boring Woot-Off ever.

@ruouttaurmind I write comments. No one writes back to me.
/giphy sigh

Hi @sammydog01! I hope you are having a wonderfully terrific day!
/giphy Hiya

@tnhillbillygal See, that’s why I hang out over here instead.
/giphy Hello!

@sammydog01 @tnhillbillygal

We need more puppy gifs cluttering up the topic, that’s what we need…

I think this last one is my fave. Cracks me up.

@ruouttaurmind I like them all. My son showed me Reddit and now I have puppies and kittens every day. Drunk chicks too.

@sammydog01 Stay away from the drunk chicks. Drama be there.

@ruouttaurmind But this is a whole 25% more stuff!

@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01

Nope. Half the space.

@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 Pretty sure she read the title “2.5 1TB” as “2.51TB” not “2.5 inch, 1TB”. Easy to do.

@PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind Haha! I’m stupid. And I would have been pissed off when my 1TB drive arrived in the mail. (I missed the “1” entirely.)

@sammydog01 Cripes. I can’t imagine how pissed I’d be if my 2.5TB drive morphed into a 1TB in transit.

@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01 i got a refurbed wd 2tb the other day, for $45…will see if coupon is still good.

@sammydog01

Was doing something work related, and I missed it.

Oh well.

@sammydog01 Missed. WS popped it up, but I guess I didn’t clicky in time.

@sammydog01 @ruouttaurmind @PlacidPenguin
I really am trying to avoid this Woot-off and all things related to a BoC. Honestly.

@Barney I try that but it never works. Clicking off now.

@sammydog01 HA!

@mfladd Stupid Woot-Off. At least I only blew $15.

@mfladd @sammydog01

That’s $15 more than I spent.

@mfladd @PlacidPenguin
/giphy showoff

@mfladd @sammydog01

I’m good at holding back. Every time I’m about to release some money, I stop.

Doing this a lot has helped strengthen me.

@mfladd @PlacidPenguin Teach me, oh wise one.

@mfladd @sammydog01

Can’t. It’s a trade secret.

@sammydog01

It’s Wednesday!

Ready to make impulse purchases again?

@PlacidPenguin Nope, not yet.

@sammydog01 We should start a random conversation on the next item just to see if we can drum up some chatter.

@sammydog01 Well, not that BOC but the next, next item.

@tnhillbillygal OK. I hope it’s a bidet.

@tnhillbillygal There is only comment about the BOC so far. WTF?

@tnhillbillygal I can’t even find a place to comment on this one.

@tnhillbillygal Well we got a couple of people to chat with us.

@sammydog01 We did! I am surprised that TT didn’t stop in to say hi when she saw that the topic was flaming hot. It was fun!

@tnhillbillygal WE MADE A FLAME!

@PlacidPenguin I just lost all respect for you.

@sammydog01

Like you ever had any?

@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01
/image we have no taste but we like you

@narfcake

I take it that you didn’t hear the news.

Not really sold out though

Ok, NOW it’s sold out.

Bless me Mehtizens, for I have sinned. I’ve been lacking in something to do this evening and I started watching the Woot-Off around 7pm. And, yep, I just got a BoC. Dang it!

@Barney
/giphy NOOO!

@Barney May your bag be purple and your crap be craptastic!

@tnhillbillygal Purple would be nice…

@Barney Good for you!

@sammydog01 I’m sowwy. I’ve really got to stop watching Woot-Offs, but it’s such a hard habit to break. I’m just spending too much money on them.

@ruouttaurmind No, no, no, no, no, no. Shame on me!

@Barney Same here. We need a support organization.

@ruouttaurmind Got in on this one, finally was logged in when it came up.

Last time I kinda decided I didn’t need any more as their stuff sucked, yet here I am again.

@raccoon81 @ruouttaurmind
/giphy this is the last one, I promise

@raccoon81 @ruouttaurmind @tnhillbillygal Don’t you need another few random phone cases?

@ruouttaurmind My source updates faster. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually sold out but allowing to add to cart before denying/cancelling orders.

@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01 @tnhillbillygal I want a new phone case, sadly they will send me 6 windows phones cases and I have iphone6.

@raccoon81 6 or 6 Plus? I have a few 6 Plus cases I didn’t like.

@ruouttaurmind Just 6, but honestly too picky on it as well. I like the wallet ones that hold a couple credit cards on the back. The speck card case is current fav but mine is worn out.

Thanks for the offer though.

@raccoon81

honestly too picky on it as well

I support this. How do you suppose I wound up with about a half dozen NIB iPhone cases?

Order, unbox, squidgy face, back into the box and off to the closet it goes.

@ruouttaurmind Have a great evening! I am trying to decide if I want to try and see what the rest of the night holds.

@ruouttaurmind I stopped watching after they killed someone I really liked. And no, he wasn’t human.

@ruouttaurmind @tnhillbillygal They haven’t sold those Woot deciders yet. I bet they pop up at the end.

@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01 One time they sold the “I miss the old Woot” shirts at the very end. I love that shirt and wear it very often.

@ruouttaurmind @tnhillbillygal I bought 3. I actually prefer the 12 hour Woot-Offs to these.

@sammydog01 Shiva!

@ruouttaurmind YES!

@ruouttaurmind NO!

@PlacidPenguin I have that

@mfladd

Does it trim body weight? If so, I need something which does the complete opposite.

@PlacidPenguin I haven’t had a reason to use it for that.

@mfladd

It trims noses. Surely it should trim other body parts.

@PlacidPenguin I like him.

@sammydog01

6 days for you to go though.

@PlacidPenguin True.

@sammydog01

Don’t mind me. I’ll just be here posting deals to tempt you.

@sammydog01

Might I interest you in this?

You can get free shipping by applying promo code “Freeship”.

@PlacidPenguin No dragons? All that crap and no dragons?

@ruouttaurmind

Wrong genre.

@PlacidPenguin Dinos, rhinos and gators, but not a dragon to be had.

@PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind I want one of those. My homeowners’ association might not be too happy about it.

@sammydog01

@RiotDemon Maybe they’re denying they ever sold it?

@sammydog01 meh. This duvet cover is ridiculously soft. I wanted to be 100% sure on the brand. Hotel collection sheets just brings up a bunch of stuff.

@RiotDemon Is there a tag left on the one you have?

@RiotDemon Looks like this one to me.
https://www.amazon.com/ienjoy-Home-Collection-Premium-Brushed/dp/B01IK02S24
Same exact photos.

@sammydog01 didn’t even think to look at the tag.
/giphy d’oh!

Thanks @medz

@RiotDemon Oh, they have it in purple! I love purple.

@Barney I bought my first set in black since I already have purple sheets. I’m going to see how it fares through the wash a few times before I buy the purple set.

@RiotDemon Confession time. I have no purple in my bedroom. Maybe it’s time that I do? I love that shade of purple.

Edit: @sammydog01 Stop me from buying this!

@Barney definitely time! Better sleep on purple sheets!

@RiotDemon You’re no help. I’m trying to save up my money for a smartphone.

@Barney how about I follow up in a month or two after I wash the cover some more?

@RiotDemon Yes, thank you.

@Barney

If your want to save money, stay away from @RiotDemon and @sammydog01.

Mostly the latter though.

@Barney Don’t buy it! Well, I tried.

@sammydog01 You didn’t try very hard.

@Barney I’m begging you- don’t buy it!

Better?

@sammydog01 Much better.

@Barney @PlacidPenguin don’t lump me in with @sammydog01. I don’t have a robot army!

@RiotDemon But you probably wish that you could have one.

@RiotDemon

If you want to beat @sammydog01, get this robot.

@Barney shoot… You got me.

@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 only $2899? I’ll take two!

@PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon I read an article about Aibos a while back- people in Japan were so distraught when their robot dogs were unable to be repaired that they had funerals. I have a real dog so my robot dog doesn’t need to be too life-like.
https://gizmodo.com/japan-is-holding-actual-funerals-for-sonys-robotic-aibo-1688175542

@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 wow. Can’t say that I’ve ever had a funeral for a toy. I guess I can understand if they have had the thing since 1999 and still played with it on a regular basis.

It reminds me of a Japanese manga/anime. In the future people have computers that are basically Androids. They become such a normal part of everyday life that some people start dating their Androids, treating them like normal human beings.

/youtube chobits episode one

@RiotDemon @sammydog01

I have an idea:

Both of you should create an army full of Aibos, and have the two armies fight each other to the death.

@tnhillbillygal Oops, I take that back. I did buy a 12 pack of sharpies during the last one.

@tnhillbillygal Pretty slim pickins IMHO. No 5 alarm bargains that I noticed. Nothing else remotely interesting except the stupid mini trash/recycle bin desk toys (restraint won out; didn’t get).

Cripes, a Woot-off in May my credit card was weeping before the thing was over. Paperwhite, 2TB HDD, 64GB microSD, smoke detector, PlayStation 4, VR headset for PS4, Logitech mouse, 128GB thumb drive, and a BOC. And there were at least a few other things I wasn’t fast enough to get.

@ruouttaurmind @tnhillbillygal They did have that 3G Paperwhite again but it was in the middle of the night. Edit: Just noticed it’s the same price and no 3G. Never mind.

@sammydog01 Ya, I saw that. Like 6AM I think. $40 for a 2013 2GB, no 3G. Fair price, but definitely not a bargain.

@ruouttaurmind I got one of those mini trash/recycle bin desk toys at Dollar Tree. They may have them again now that it’s school supply season. I recently got a purple poop unicorn emoji there as well. Seemed like a must-have.

@heartny Aww…

@heartny @ruouttaurmind I need to swing by Dollar Tree.

@raccoon81 Since they were upping their weight by adding obsolete textbooks I would say that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

@raccoon81 @sammydog01

Wow, some Wooters are really upset about no letters this month or next.

@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 I’ll admit, I am sad that chance is gone. But intrigued to see if they come up with something else.

I don’t think not having them would change how fast they would sell out anyway. There are way more than enough that don’t care about the letter (or understand) to sell out in seconds still.

@raccoon81 @sammydog01

Personally, while I would hope to get a letter, it was never a determining factor.

Additionally, based on the percentage of people who would even post what they got, it’s clear that letters were never a primary motivation for the majority of people to buy a BoC.

@PlacidPenguin @raccoon81 @sammydog01

So here goes for probably a very unpopular view. I haven’t been a rabid BoC chaser in years. And when I get one, I rarely post on the forum.

My BoC’s, for many years, have not been very good. Maybe it’s just my bad luck, who knows?

Now as for posting on the forum, I don’t like to be pressured to post my crap. Yep, I feel very pressured and I don’t like it at all.

As for no longer having the letters (at least for now), well, maybe it’s because TT’s “favorites” already have letters. Look at yourselves, you frequent posters over there – how many of you have received a letter?

Do you really think that most of the letters go out to random people? Ha, just a very small percentage. Most of them go out to frequent posters. Haven’t you guys ever noticed this?

So, if it is decided that there will be no more letters, it really won’t matter, will it? Y’all already have one (except for poor @raccoon81 and a few others around here.)

@raccoon81, how often do you post on the Woot forum? Maybe you should become a “frequent” poster.

I’m cranky – I need a nap.

@raccoon81 @sammydog01

Do either of you want to tell @Barney, or should I?

@Barney @raccoon81 @sammydog01

So, if it is decided that there will be no more letters, it really won’t matter, will it? Y’all already have one (except for poor @raccoon81 and a few others around here.)

Of course it will. I like seeing what people get. Additionally, by Woot giving away stuff, there is some slight impact on profit margins.

Although much like extra second roundFukus/Fukos, it increases participation and builds up a consumer base.

@Barney @PlacidPenguin @raccoon81 The extra crap that has been sent out in the past couple of years is pretty much the same stuff that goes out in BOCs but more of it. If they made it more interesting I would pay more attention.

@Barney @PlacidPenguin @raccoon81 I would like to think that math-wise frequent posters are the ones who get crap every time and maybe it’s a statistical thing.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@PlacidPenguin @raccoon81 @sammydog01

If woot were to guarantee that there were letters going out with BOC’s, essentially that turns the experience into an illegal lottery. You cannot legally advertise a promotion with the chance of a prize, when a purchase is required. It’s the reason why Loot-Box has a no purchase necessary option with their “Mega-Crate”.

@lichme Dang… we just got lawyered!

@lichme

But seriously, I enjoy it when you enter lawyer mode.

I think I’m going to remove items from the box and make it look really crappy when I post pics to the forum. Also actively start discouraging people from buying them because there is no chance of getting anything good now. #BoycottBoCs #TTBlackListed

@medz If there was no chance to get anything good now, why would you need to remove items from the box to make it look really crappy?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

While I enjoy seeing what random crap comes in the boc’s, I have to admit that not having the chance at a letter being included kind of dulls the excitement a bit. I always love at least one thing in my box but it was always nice to daydream about a letter being included as I watched the tracking info update. Guess I won’t be stalking the ups tracking as much this go around.
It’s a shame that a few people who didn’t appreciate it were able to ruin the opportunity for those of us that would have loved the chance and memories. I will still try for BOC’s for sure but it just won’t be quite as exciting.

@lichme @medz More crap for me!

I have to add that the one time I received a pair of Salomon boots in my size just in time for winter and when I was in need of a pair made me feel like I had won some sort of lottery. I still think back on that BOC and smile. I’m sure there will be something good in a few of the boxes to keep it interesting to watch. I can’t see myself not buying crap or IRKs just for the fun of seeing what’s in the box.
/giphy what’s in the box

@lichme because is I get more than the advertised 3 crappy items, I’ll be an illegal lottery winner…?

@tnhillbillygal Woah! I want that box…

@medz Copy/Paste from my post on Woot

It has more to do with how it is advertised versus what’s in the box.

As you have seen, people have stated that they wouldn’t buy a Brigade of Campers had they known there was no chance of getting a letter. It’s a special thing, we all know it. Guaranteeing it prior to the end of the sale is an incentive for people to buy it on a chance.

If it was just an extension of the regular crap, people wouldn’t have to follow instructions/promise to post it when they get it… they would just get it.

@lichme ok. So just don’t require any follow up. Right? Everyone knows there is a chance, but woot doesn’t advertise it and no extra conditions to get it. Just add a note saying the item didn’t fit like old days. Easy.

Got mine.

@medz Awesome stickers! Congrats!

Hey all! I appreciate all the conversation going on about letters.

Keep in mind that I didn't say all don't come back, I said the recent trend has been that fewer are doing so. Same with the TT Stinkers.

A few more points based on comments I've read:

Having gotten a letter doesn't necessarily make you ineligible however, I haven't been doing letters for very long and I feel it's too soon to start repeating when there are so many that haven't gotten one yet.

We here at woot love to see the what the letter recipients gets. I no longer pack the boxes so I don't know what Kristen put in the box. Even for pallets, I have a general idea of a few larger things on it but not the smaller things they add to it before wrapping it. We love the surprise as much as y'all do.

Yes, the letters are a lot of work. The 20 letters for July took me a good two hours total.

The first step is up to the wooter to post the letter. I do not send anyone a reminder to post the letter. If I see that they posted and didn't mention the letter, I'll nudge them as I have in the past.

When they post, they are emailed with the tracking information and a reminder to post with a link to the thread

If they haven't posted within a week of receiving the goods, they are emailed again reminding them to post with a link to the thread.

There's not much more I can do than that.

We do have one from July that kindly contacted us to let us know they were out of the country and would post when they got back. So we're looking forward to that.

I tried just sending stuff to people without a letter one month. I sent 3 different large items to people. None got posted. Scratched that idea off the list.

And again, I'm not saying there will be no letters. We're taking a break from them for a bit. After that, just don't expect them for every sale as has been mostly the case in the last year or so. If that stops you from buying crap, there's thousands in line behind you waiting for the chance.

It's probably better going forward if I don't say whether there are letters or not. Yes, that will be the new rule. That question will never be answered from here on out.

I think that covers most the comments. Crap is crap and will remain crap.

I figure that letter or no letter, people will try for a BoC. It’s the thrill of the hunt.

However, I’m always amazed by the few (and sometimes first Woot purchasers) who buy one and have no clue at to what they just bought.

Anyway, BoC’s will go on – letters probably will, too, in one form or another.

And life goes on.

@Barney

I particularly enjoy the comments by SylvreKat and her mother.

@PlacidPenguin I remember trying to teach my mother about Woot. She chose her name and I set up an account for her. She didn’t quite get the concept of a BoC, but she did love Woot shopping.

Until one day, she was shopping and managed to buy a BoC. After that, she decided that BoC shopping was a fun thing to do and snagged a few more over the years.

I’ve switched over my own account to her user name, Katblue. It always gives me a warm, happy feeling to see her username and remember the good times we had on Woot.

@Barney

@PlacidPenguin Hrmm… I had those. Not sure I can find them. I will try to look when I am home.They are cute but I don’t have much want for them.

@raccoon81

Thanks. I may not have been active in the Woot forums for a long time, and I may have missed out on numerous things.

It is not too late for me to get ribbons for myself.

True fact: Until these ribbons, I never had gotten any in my life.

@PlacidPenguin Awwwww…

@PlacidPenguin I don’t think I have either of those but I’ll check.

The 742 lb (15 piece) bonus letter Bear or Cat? arrived this afternoon via FedEx Freight. My son was extra excited to see the ‘humunga-truck” outside of our house. The driver was awesome, especially due to the fact that he took the extra effort to get it into my garage.



The mystery….



No more….
First, With my kids, wife, and the FedEx driver all eagerly waiting. I tore open the box on the top.

At first glance, we saw a rug and a bath mat. Then my wife spotted the Dyson DC44 Animal Cordless Vacuum buried beneath. Her response was “I’m good with this…”. My kids spotted a handful of small plastic animals and a Disney Tsum Tsum activity set. Everyone was happy.



Here is the full haul from the first box. (And it's a good one)

Dyson DC44 Animal Cordless Vac
Dimple 4 in 1 Pitching Machines
Decorative Rack
All-Clad 3 QT Saute Pan w/ Lid
Posh Coloring Book
Scrapebook Kit
Disney Tsum Tsum Deluxe Design Kit
California Road & Rec Atlas
Adipose Doctor Who Ornament
Colonials Fan Double Wall Cup
Large Bath Mat
Area Rug
Umbrella Stand
Hickory Axe Handle
2 threaded metal spikes
12x12 Furnace Air Grille
Iphone 6 Grill
Stanford Dog hoodie
Native Jeans Size 38/32 Black Jeans
Pack of 100 12x15.5 Shipping Bags
60 Tiny Toy Animals consisting of
5 Bulls
5 Donkeys
5 Pigs
5 Turkeys
5 Hens
5 Roosters
5 Sheep
5 Horse
5 Dogs
5 Cows
5 Goats
5 Geese
(My kids needed something to do. So I had them count and sort them)

2 Boxes of 3 inch Micro USB Cables (Black and White)



And….if you have been paying attention, I have only accounted for 3 of advertised 15 boxes (There were actually closer to 20 boxes total).



Well, the remaining 15-17 boxes contain thousands of fidget spinners.
~1500 MP3 Spinner Pink
~1400 MP3 Spinner Blue
Quad Metal
Tri Metal
Dual Metal







My assumption is that I have 450-500 pounds of fidget spinners in my garage at this very moment.

Maybe we can give some of them out at Halloween instead of candy this year.

@PlacidPenguin @raccoon81 I have been a terrible Wooter and did not see these. AWESOME! So many fidget spinners! And not enough appreciation for the giant flamingo.

@sammydog01 I find it difficult to follow the reveal threads for batches that I wasn’t eligible to buy from. I, too, hadn’t seen these yet.

@raccoon81 @sammydog01

Saw the fidget spinner post, but didn’t see the flamingo one.

Although…

It WOULD explain why I have seen people referencing a flamingo.

@sammydog01 I would totally rock that flamingo! Right next to my front door in my entryway.

The TSC near my office has a 6 foot steel rooster I’ve considered, but the $200 entry fee is a little steep for what it is. I pass by every once in a while hoping to catch it on a big sale, or deep clearance.

@ruouttaurmind Have you met Wooster? I’m sure @daveinwarsh would introduce you.

@sammydog01 I have been jelly of @daveinwarsh’s Wooster ever since I read the original reveal thread!

Getting 3000 spinners is fun, 500 obsolete fitness trackers is amusing, but if I were cursed with a letter, I would really love it to be something unique that I could keep and enjoy, rather than a chore to dispose of. @daveinwarsh’s Wooster is a premo example of just such an item.

@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01

I’m still trying to figure out what to do with the Yo-Yo Ma music collection which I got in June.

On the bright side, I gave the Gotham Steel set to somebody who would use it.

@PlacidPenguin

@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01 Wooster says “Cluck Cluck”. No idea what that means…

@daveinwarsh Fortunately Google has a Wooster to English translator. He’s telling you he wants to live the desert, “so please pack me up and ship me to @ruouttaurmind”.

@daveinwarsh @ruouttaurmind

Wooster isn’t delusional though. At least there are Coral snakes in Arizona, which are looking for playmates.

@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01

After sitting in the trunk of my car for nearly a month, I finally got rid of the Gotham Steel set.

I feel accomplished.

@PlacidPenguin One more revealed… all the flamingos! oh, and a TV.

So. Many. Things. In. My. Driveway!

I was the oh-so-lucky beneficiary of a magic letter and the promises of great riches to be delivered on a pallet! After some logistics challenges (mainly me being out of the country for weeks and having to line up some poor sucker to received said pallet in my absence)…we’re back. And I have the big reveal!!!

Behold the astonishing package. With an unimpressed-looking terrier for scale (though I guess it’s sort of hard to tell how big he is).


From the Blindingly Opulent Cornucopia

FIRST, THE LOW-HANGING FRUIT FROM THE BOX ON TOP:

Many, many small farm animals:


A Star Wars vehicle tutorial poster:


An lovely brown umbrella stand:


Bath mats:


Stylized cross thingy to keep vampires out of the garden (and Rubbermaid container for sprinkling garlic powder around):


Floor mat from a sportsball team that likely starts with “N:”


Sleeping bag for a giant (or maybe two people):


Little tubed miracle garlic peeler

Mysterious mouse head thingy:


Toilet paper holder:


Quad-snippers. For herbs? Or manual shredding?:


Flowery thing:


Rubbery things:


AND THEN THE EXCITING BOXES:

A Vizio Sound bar!


And a GIANT TV!


BUT AFTER ALL THE ABOVE, THERE WERE STILL FOUR GIANT BOXES ON THE PALLET.

And they contained…a freaking FLAMBOYANCE of FLAMINGOS (ok…some may say it’s technically a pat of flamingos…but flamboyance is so much more alliterative and exciting). Hundreds and hundreds of them. Two hundred if I believe the labels!



So now I have to plan what to do with 200 pink flamingos. Can of worms. Kettle of fish. Box of flamingos. What kind of trouble do I want to start!? SO much fun to be had! Will keep you posted on the deployment of said pink critters when the time comes.

Thanks, WOOT!!!
