Did you miss the BOC'S?
multiple BOC's in the current woot! off. I was traveling when they were put up yesterday. But even though I did not get one, I like what you did there.
I've missed all of them so far, mostly because of school... I did have a chance to get one, but I was on my phone and it took to long to load the page.
I too have missed them due to various reasons, hopefully now that things have settled down on my end, I will have a chance to try for one if they have any left to offer up...if not there is always the next time
Picked one up yesterday evening. Missed several others.
Got in on the first round of 500, which was great because I had to hang a new storm door which would have otherwise been put on the back burner.
yep, got one the second time it went up. It first went up and only sold 1, then a second time for 500. I haven't been keeping track of the numbers since then.
I tried to buy another one, but apparently they are all linked. I got an error that stated I already purchased the deal.
Nope. I've honestly been avoiding the woot-off. It's just easier to avoid temptations that aren't good for the wallet.
Though now that I know there are multiple BOCs, I might have to start looking.
I managed to grab my bindle in the first round of 500. I was quite shocked to see how well the site responded. Much like the Holy Crap Commandments v.4.0 number V. says, they've clearly upgraded their servers, and as a result the BoC seems to sell out REALLY QUICKLY!
Good luck to those who haven't had the fortune (or misfortune) of getting some... There may yet be another round of crap to come!

I thought I got one last night, but.. turns out I guess I didn't.
I missed the early morning BOC on the first day (One only? Really?) but was online for the others. The servers responded much better than in the past, but even though I got all the way to the last big button, I didn't score. Nevertheless, I approve of scattering these throughout the WootOff! Great way to keep us tuned in (and, therefore, getting sucked into other offerings).
I think it's great that they spread the love but due to work I missed them. I still don't know how some people get so many of them. The pages have always crashed the handful of times I was able to be around for one.
I got one in the second offering (first batch of 500). My brother on the other had still hasn't been able to grab one and is becoming increasingly frustrated striking out so many times in one Woot-off.
I see no reason to even try to break my perfect record of not getting any ever. I used to try, but now it is somewhat a badge of wottie-karp to keep my record clear and clean!
I got through it all to order processing and got HOSED twice!! I am going to get one today though while you are all answering questions on Deals.woot
No luck this go around. I've been away from my computer every time one comes up. Probably for the better.
I got one yesterday afternoon. Was way too easy, didn't believe it for a second till it showed up in account. No idea what I did to please the woot gods.
Managed to snag one yesterday, when it had popped up already sold out and took a minute or two to actually go back on sale.
Speed seems to be the key for these small bits of them. Saw another one, but by the time I'd even entered my CC 3-digit bit and hit the button it'd sold out. The servers aren't crashing so much anymore so if you can get in quick enough seems like you can get it now.
Really wish one of my woot-tracking apps would start working again so I'd have a shot. For some reason, notifications on both have just ceased.
No and I was pissed, I've been around since 2007 and I still haven’t gotten one!
No! I got one during the current Woot!off, and I got one during the April Woot!off too!
I'm chuffed :D
I've been obsessively following the woot-off, even when I was out and about yesterday, but I still managed to miss it. :(
I haven't even seen them, let alone purchased them. Are they showing up on www.woot.com as part of the regular woot-off, or are they someplace extra special where I'm not looking?
Either way, the evening commute is about to begin for the eastern time zone, so I expect a BoC will appear fairly soon!
Just snagged one!
Your order number XXXXXX for 1 Bag of Crap has been received by Woot on 4/26/2012
Oh sweet baby Jesus, I finally got one!!! It only took me 2 years of trying, but IT IS MINE!
Sorry, in case you couldn't tell I'm a bit excited...
Those of you who scored a BOC can thank me. All it takes for these to pop up is for me to get out of reach of my computer. I stuck close to it all day today, and finally dashed out to IT for some help on an investigation and BAM! BOC time.
You're welcome.
@belyndag: Thanks for that! :P
And @lparsons42 totally called it.
I like these short-burst BoC. Even if you miss it, there's the hope that another will come along (and given that they've only sold 2001 so far, it seems there very well might be another).
@belyndag: Then thank you a million times over!
I was at the ready for 3 of the 4 BOC's (not counting the qty 1 offering), but did not manage to score. I like the multiple chances, though, particularly since I have a lot of meetings and such that interrupt my Wootoff! time.
@belyndag: me too, been at my desk all day, get called into a 5 minute meeting and bam up comes the BoC and sell out before I get back to my desk. Oh well, not my turn I guess...maybe next time (this Woot off or next one)
Just missed yesterday but finally got one today - thanks to a coworker who asked a question and had me on my computer at just the right time!
@heyjoie: It is well know that Woot dislikes the eastern time zone and preferentially runs BoCs at times when people in that time zone are least likely to be available to buy them.
I missed them all by seconds. It was like every time I went to the bathroom they ran them. I'm starting to take it personally :-(
Always do. I am up and down from my computer so much I always miss them by seconds. The one time I thought I had one, everything crashed.
My co-worker now has two, I guess I can take solace in that :(
