Has anyone ever bought Woot.com's bag of crap? What kind of stuff did you get inside? Did you get what you paid for- crap? Or did you end up with a big shiny plasma tv, PS3, or new car?
 
Each time I see the bag of crap and end up placing an order its too late, I too wonder whats in it but my guess its more crap than anything - but if I get anything good its obviously worth it.

The only thing I have heard were a few exceptions of people getting expensive DVD players and other electronics. But I doubt it's the rule.
 
From watching the Youtube videos, the common theme seems to be: Samsonite camera bag, some type of Targus carry case, and Belkin mousepads with a US flag graphic.
 
It varies depending on what they have in stock. However my last BoC nearly a year ago was a Samsonite camera bag, a cheap laptop lock, a bandanna, and a tacky vest(the booby prize).
 
Last one I got was an "I LUV U" clock, Targus accessory bag, Cartoon Network Animation Station, Logitech EasyFit Connector.

None of it worth the shipping cost. But it's always a gamble. Some people get Roombas and other expensive stuff.
 
I got a Targus accessory bag, a screaming monkey, a book-clip reading light, and a motion-sensitive light that you put on a pet's collar so it lights up when they move.
 
Once, I came close to ordering the bag of crap. I got to the confirmation page and I submitted the purchase. Apparently, my lightning fast speed wasnt fast enough. To successfully get a BOC, you need the internet pumping through your blood.
 
You usually get merch. that retails for more than you pay for it... but in most cases it's stuff that you don't need or have no use for.

Pretty interesting how fast the stuff sells, too.
 
There is a sucker born every minute...

I can't get over how nuts people go over the BOCs. I got it once and realized it's just silly. Though I still use the letter organizer thingie I got I suppose.
 
I've only ever been able to snag one, and I think it was actually my first woot. 🙂

It contained an inflatable sword, inflatable guitar, two portable Virgin CD players, the requisite camera bag and a Roboreptile.
 
I got a pair of striped knee high socks (great gag gift @ christmas for my mom...big WTF...made me laugh though =); a insulated pub glass and a cheap camera bag.
 
I've got an Aspire Digital subwoofer (actually, HTIB system that didn't include speakers, full 6.1) that was a BOC.

It's got surround input and outputs for all the speakers, not a fancy HTIB but a hell of a buy for 1 dollar.
 
I've gotten 3 and the best thing I've gotten out of all of them was a cordless phone.
