How long did it take to lose your first BuckyBall?

I've had mine for less than a week and sometime yesterday I've lost one around the office... (coworkers and I are still looking for it, keep your fingers crossed!!!). Who else has experienced the sorrow, and how long did it take? (I say sorrow since I can't create 8 full hexagons or other projects anymore )=...)

Maybe Woot should sell a BuckyBall replacement pack. 3-balls for $0.99 or something like that.

@mellielou: +$5 shipping? Not worth it!

@mellielou: Like these?

The Moofi deals are all sold out right now, but that doesn't mean they won't sell them again. They were sold in packs of ten for $0.99 + $5.00 shipping, which is way cheaper than ordering spares from the Buckyballs website.

Seven months and counting - I haven't lost one yet!

Some family got theirs about the same time though, and they're missing a few. Replacement bucky-balls would probably have been a good use of my Jumbo free-shipping coupon, dash-it-all.

@unclefrog: Hopefully they'll bring those spares back, and permit mixing and matching of colors this time w/o paying shipping again.

My green Buckyballs are still in their original case (I was afraid one of them would go MIA, so I never opened them). Then in July the Mighty Jumbowoot gave us 4 free shipping codes that didn't expire until Dec. And in Oct. Brutherford the Monkey Master posted spare bucky balls in all different colors. Needless to say I now have spare tubes of blue, red and green buckyballs. Thank you, jumbowoot!

@unclefrog: Good job locating those! Those spares are a fun way to add color to the BuckyBalls!

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

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.
