Do you get excited about a Bag of Crap after you've already bought one?

May 12, 2011 3:00 AM

During the April 1st mini-game, I won my first BoC. When it arrived in the mail, I found:
1 --- lampshade
1 --- miniature, offbrand screaming monkey
3 --- 6inch USB to USB cable
1 --- reusable shopping bag

I'm not complaining about my BOC, but I'm not going to fret getting one ever again. Why do people look forward to getting one? I guess it's the thrill of a surprise. What do you think?

It's not just a thrill. People have gotten awesome items like TVs. I remember one guy got a pallet of car wax. So while there is a thrill factor, there's also that rare bit of awesome.

For the record, my April Fools bag also sucked. Big time!

I don't so much care about what's inside the bag of crap, I just like getting it.

@sclark89: That's what the constipated old man said.

Pretty much everything about getting to the point of scoring a bag of crap is better than what ever is inside the box when it arrives.

It is definitely about the thrill of the chase for me.

I have gotten many over the years, some were good, some were bad, but none were great.

When I have read the contents posted by people who have received the BOCS lately, I am less than impressed except by the fact that those people were actually able to complete the transaction. Back in the day - I find myself typing that phrase constantly - people did score such items as monitors, speakers, etc. I don't know when that stopped, but I suspect with the dawning of the day of amazon control.

I still get excited when I score one, I just don't get as disappointed when I don't.

Always excited. The battle it takes to get one makes it worth the excitement. Although I have yet to get anything good in a BoC, its still a fun gamble.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
