Bandolier of Carrots

So there is this website, Woot, that I love. They sell a thing everyday until they run out of said thing. It is usually something gadgety and always a good deal. Every couple of months they clean house and have what they call a Woot-Off. These last any where from a couple hours to several days and consist of selling things in rapid succession. Generally at the end of a Woot-Off they sell what used to be called a Bag Of Crap, but is now referred to as Random Crap. It is a bunch of "crap" from the warehouse that they throw in a box. This is the item everyone that is watching the Woot-Off is waiting for. It is only $8, and generally sells out in a minute or two.

Last year I was fortunate enough to snag a Bag Of Crap that was about 8 or 9 Sansa Mp3 players and Yanni's autobiography. This is actually quite an accomplishment as the Woot servers usually crash when the Bag Of Crap comes up and is, therefore, incredibly hard to actually buy. Nearly a year to the day later I got another Bag Of Crap and it was delivered on Friday. That is the picture you see above.

Here is a break down of what I got by quantity:

5 Button batteries
4 Jawbone wireless cellphone things
3 Swiss Army wireless presenter, things
2 Sets of in-ear headphones (only one is in the picture)
1 Set of regular earbuds with one earbud missing
1 Power cord for something
1 Pink, ugly as hell, 1Gb Mp3 player
1 Owners manual for a Plantronics headset
1 Owners manual for a Philips something
1 Dyson vacuum attachment
1 Unknown cigarette lighter charger, thing
1 Turbo Air compact blower
1 Travel Alarm
1 Mini marshmallow
1 Wallet picture holder
1 Wireless Logitech Mouse (not pictured cause I gave it to a guy at work)
1 Team Daiwa backpack

and, the Coup de Grace

1 30Gb iPod which, after a quick software restore and charge, works perfectly.


Remember I paid $8 for all of this crap.

So thanks Woot, you rock.
