I got the same message … :frowning:

I sincerely hope that Joined Today. Purchased First Woot! Does realize that they check fake accounts and their order will be canceled accordingly. You know… if you bought it was a brand new “alt” account.

So really they are just denying a legitimate person from purchasing.

Meditation (one with keyboard) and if you can beat the wootstalker.

Yeah. Community page beat wootstalker on this one.

i got this too… maybe i had too many windows open trying?

Practicing that if he honed his skills enough to post before WootStalkerBot he would be faster than the bot and be able to order a bag.

I have missed 9 bags since last night. :frowning:
Thinking if I don’t get one I’m going to hang up my wooting boots for good.
They have made it so only fast internet connections can get through in time, those like me with 3g might as well quit.

apparently if you get this message, then empty your cart from the previous BOC. i was lucky enough to be the first sucker @0300. and i hear people were complaining about the same thing.

Thanks for the head’s up! I think that was probably my issue.

You said 3G!!! That is a naughty word.
Thou shalt not order a bag of crap using 3G.

Thank you Narfcake… Your instructions really helped me out… (reposting below)

NOTE: I didn’t realize the picture on the community list took you right to the sale item… That saved a lot of time.

[Start Info posted by Narfcake]

  • Make sure you’re logged in. If you can check your account, then you should be good.
  • Use a regular credit card so you don’t have to reauthorize it at purchase.
  • Refresh the community (forum page). It’s faster than the main page.
  • Click on the picture to go to the product page directly.
  • Luck. There’s only 10 each round.

This also helps.

I never even see the “I want one” button, the page just loads with “sold out.”

woohoo! I get home to my faster interwebs and finally nab one…looks like I was the last person for this round too…
I now return me to my regularly scheduled life…and maybe a few more purchases if I see something I like

I’ve gotten one before using CDMA on my cellphone… then again that was years ago.

yeah, i had an old missed one too…

I got this too. My cart only had that one crap in it, I only had one tab open, and I’m not using a bot. Nor have I purchased crap this week. Puzzling.

Is it just a standard message if it sells out as you check out?

It doesn’t have me re-sign in for any other product besides the bag.
Bag; everytime! I have to sign in again and lose.
