  • 1 Cardboard Box

Allison’s Box (#5)

Box of Cats #2 and #3

December 1st, 2009 by Jim

This time my wife and I both scored a box of cats from Woot! Here’s what we got…

Allison’s Box

  • 3 Polaroid Digital Photo Frame Designer Faceplate
  • 1 Belkin Zipper Cases for XM Xpress
  • 1 American Tourist Camera Case
  • 2 Tuffwrap Xtreme for the iPod Touch (pink)
  • 1 SmartWipe Gloves (LCD/Plasma Display Cleaner, 3 Pack)
  • 1 Western Digital Caviar 250GB ATA Hard Drive — DOA! 🙁
  • 9 Packing Material (Texas Air, 7 inflated)
  • 3 Tissue Paper (Invisible Letter)
  • 1 Cardboard Box
  • 1 Cat (War Paint Design)

My Box

  • 3 Polaroid Digital Photo Frame Designer Faceplate
  • 1 Belkin Zipper Cases for XM Xpress
  • 1 American Tourist Camera Case
  • 2 Verona Flip case for iPod Classic
  • 1 Western Digital Caviar 250GB ATA Hard Drive — Also DOA! 🙁
  • 11 Packing Material (Texas Air, all inflated)
  • 1 Tissue Paper (Invisible Letter)
  • 1 Cardboard Box

So we basically got a bunch of the same stuff, but had lots of fun regardless. Too bad those hard drives did not work, though. That would have made a nice RAID1 setup. And again, no Woot-off Lights! Maybe next time…

Box of Cats

November 7th, 2009 by Jim

The Bag of Scaffolding arrived! FedEx still said it would be Tuesday, but USPS said it was out of delivery. So I drove to my office (on a Saturday) and arrived just two minutes before the USPS man pulled up. Close call. 🙂

USPS: You looking for something?
Me: Yes! You got it?
USPS: *grin* Right here.
Me: *thinking* (Perhaps he has delivered one of these before…)

Here’s what we got…

  • 1 Chop and Grate Set (Slap Chop, working)
  • 2 Belkin Zipper Cases for XM Xpress
  • 1 Classic Frogger Handheld Game by Excalibur (working)
  • 1 Burp Pen (working)
  • 5 Halloween Visibility Lights (only 2 work, 3 are dead)
  • 3 Pieces of Packing Material (inflated)
  • 2 Pieces of Tissue Paper
  • 1 Cardboard Box
  • 3 Cats (see photos)

My wife and I are very happy with our first bag of scaffolding. I only wish Woot had put some Woot-off lights in there for us. Maybe next time…
