Reader WootAndTheWay tells Consumerist was one of the lucky few who got to order the Bag of Crap from Woot.com during the last Woot-off. Once the package arrived, she found that she was luckier than she had thought. Her box contained the usual assortment of random closeout goodness, and a folded-up envelope containing $609 in cash. Wait, what?
Woot says that they don't know anything about how the envelope got there. It's easy to believe them, since this is a very poor business model. What would you do? More »

—>Christopher made a mistake when he ordered a NeatReceipts scanner from Woot. He made some incorrect assumptions and ordered the Windows version of the device when he uses a Mac. But even though he was the one who made the mistake, the neat people at NeatReceipts happily swapped scanners with him—for free. More »
—>Robear wanted to order from shirt.woot, but something strange happened when he went to register. After choosing a username and entering his e-mail address, he noticed that all of the forms were pre-populated with another customer's information...including that user's credit card information. He contacted Woot to try to find out what could have happened, but Woot either hasn't figured it out yet, or just isn't responding. (UPDATE: Response from Woot below.) More »
—>Brandon regrets having done business with DeadlyDeal.com earlier this year. He figured he "couldn't go wrong" with his mystery box purchase—"after all, my dealings with Woot.com had all been more than satisfactory so far." But DeadlyDeal is no Woot, friends. Well, except maybe in the creative writing department, because there's no way those DeadlyDeal customer testimonies ("Thanks for my free iPhone!") are legit. More »
It's a Woot-off! Yes, it's one of Woot's fun sales events. As of right now, they're having some site issues, so either you get a fantastic sale, or you get an error message with Keyboard Cat. You win either way. (Thanks, GitEmSteveDave!) More »

—>Do you remember Millard? He was the angry customer who demanded that Woot send him black iPod headphones to match his black iPod, and claimed to have been misled by the company. Woot is selling black iPods today and wants to make it very clear—"in case your monitor can't display pictures, or you're black-white colorblind"—you will receive white earbuds with your iPod. Sorry, Millard, Woot is still refusing to cooperate by inventing a black version of the Apple product. More »
