WOOT-OFF IS FINALLY OVER!!!

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.

Re: WOOT-OFF IS FINALLY OVER!!!

woot.com

Also, from their FAQ:

Quote:

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.

Re: WOOT-OFF IS FINALLY OVER!!!

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

Re: WOOT-OFF IS FINALLY OVER!!!

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

Re: WOOT-OFF IS FINALLY OVER!!!

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.

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

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

This one here lists them all.. or a lot anyways (lowest price first):

Re: WOOT-OFF IS FINALLY OVER!!!

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.

Re: WOOT-OFF IS FINALLY OVER!!!

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:

Two RCA Dog beanie-baby like things.
A desk-top paper organizer.

(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.
