WOOT-OFF IS FINALLY OVER!!!

[whytheheckme]

I've been up for 68 hours + the time before it started wooting-off!!!!

I got 3 BOCs! and the Pig. And some other random stuff, which I am already starting to regret before they have even shipped :yikes:

So yeah... Woot ROCKS!

Awesome. I'm going to bed now.

Also, from their FAQ:
I see some orange flashing lights on the main page – what do they mean?
No, you aren't seeing a side effect from your allergy medication. You have found a Woot-Off, a short term frenzied mutation of our product posting procedure. In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally.)

I've only wooted once, but I follow the site and follow the wootoffs the best I can.

Are you a w00ter too?

I love BOC. My favorite item. I actually got to checkout TWICE during this woot-off, but the second time it said that I already bought one, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A DIFFERENT SET... Oh well, guess they have to be fair...

I really should sleep, but I just had 3 mountain dews and chocolate because I thought this would continue...

Oh well,
Jacob

I got the same message.

I got 3 bags yesterday (or maybe that was today .. the days are starting to run together ..)

[Steve Howland]

It was a good wootoff, indeed. I got my first BOC, plus that 5xUSB 2.0 adapter, and the wireless music controller. I got an iRobot dirt dog from woot a few weeks ago and we use it at our build site. Cost a pretty penny but well worth not vacuuming these six weeks :D

[whytheheckme]

Yeah. There were 3 BOCs this time. The last one stayed there for almost 5 minutes. I was surprised. I would have had enough time to check out at least twice, had I been able to.

Oh, come on Ed, you haven't been wOOt'd yet? Even an old fart like me knows about it! (thanks Amanda!)

I am just upset that by the time the Pink Pig USB Powered FM Radios went up, I missed out on them. :(

I don't check woot enough to get anything good, let alone BOC...

I'm jealous of all of you! :o

That looks like a pretty cool pig. Too bad I just got home from the hospital, or I would of bought one... maybe. who knows?

Btw, there are plenty more deal a day sites like w00t.com around.

Even I know all about Woot! Of course, the real draw for me is their photo-altering contests in their blog section! Good stuff, good stuff!

Ed, me and you could have been the last people on earth to know.... maybe they were keeping it a secret from us

[Jeremiah Johnson]

Wow... and I thought I knew it all...

[Stu Bloom]

So what type of stuff have you "guys" gotten in your BOC's? Is it always a good idea? Have you ever been disappointed?

I think woot is a great idea, but it is difficult for us in the eastern time zone unless we are up all night.

[JohnBoucher]

Let us know what we all missed in the BOC's. Way to much <F5> at work when the woot-off is going on.
We could not find the mentors two nights ago .. They were hiding in the CAD room wooting :ahh:

[Kiori]

Scary.....to tell the truth, I dont think I know what you people are talking about, ah well!

[Elgin Clock]

OMG!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Oh the fun I can have with 1,020 individual keys. LOL

[Elgin Clock]

OK people, your BOC's must have come in from that 80+ hour woot-off!

Post what you got in your BOC's!!!! Inquiring minds want to know!

I bought 3 bags .. I got:

An extra-small, womens, Japanese (i think) Coca Cola t-shirt.
Two RCA Dog beanie-baby like things.
A desk-top paper organizer.
A camera bag (for a medium-size video camera).

That's pretty cool content wise. I would laugh if the Coca-Cola shirt was the same one they gave out at Atlanta this past year during the wrap party. Was it gray with red writing and a design thing?
(Puts uploading thumbnail of free coca-cola shirt from ATL on to-do list.)

And the RCA dog Beanie?? Nice.

Those are some pretty random BOC contents, but pretty cool overall.

[Steve Howland]

1 Virgin Cordless phone
2 Standard Dell Speakers
3 pens with UV-only ink (battery operated light on back of pen)
2 8' retractable phone cords,
2 gel pens
1 camera bag
2 little bean doggies

Not bad for my first BOC :D
