I wrote about this over a year ago, here. Woot.com has a unique business model – they sell 1 item every day. Actually it’s more like 4 items now, they have www.woot.com (the normal site), shirt.woot.com (a new t-shirt everyday), wine.woot.com (for all you wine-o’s), and sellout.woot.com (a partnership with shopping.yahoo.com). Anyways, last year, in July, Woot had their Birthday. On their birthday they sold the ever so covetted “Random Crap” aka “Bag of Crap”. You can buy up to 3 for 1$ and you can expect to get crap. The fun comes in trying to order, waiting, hoping, waiting some more, and finally receiving it. Anyways, I missed out on the Birthday Crap last year, but I added Woot’s birthday to my google calendar and set it to remind me. So this year I was fully prepared to stay up until 1AM. I wasn’t really sure if it would be a BOC, but it was worth the wait, and as it turned out, the rest of the world (slight exaggeration) was waiting as well. At approximately 1:08AM the new woot showed up and BINGO a Bag of Crap! I was able to get my order in (8$ – 3$ for three craps and 5$ for shipping).
Well I received my shipment yesterday and this is what I got:
1x Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-in-One Printer (I’m selling it on ebay since I already own two printers).
1x Verizon Bluetooth (I think – I’m a bluetooth virgin)
1x Loose Screw (looks like one you use on a hard drive mount)
1x Targus Digital Memory Card Case
1x Birthday Card
Overall I’m very please with my crap. They printer retails for 100-150$, so I hope to get at least 50$ on ebay. The memory card case is currently holding my four thumb drives (I know, I know, they’re not “memory cards”).
I’ve never purchased a card for a 4 year old, but the writing on the inside of the card kinda weirds me out. Maybe in 70 years I’ll bring it to the Antique Road Show and they’ll tell me how it’s worth millions of dollars because it was a Woot Crap :).
