Are you brave enough to try to use your JumboWoot coupon on a BOC?

That would be no
yes!
Yes, of coarse... you have to wait for the servers anyways!
Have used all of mine. :-( That said, NO - I would never try to use a coupon on a BOC. One more delaying step. Not worth it to me.
I've done it before.
Yep, I already copied it, now all I have to do is paste it in the box.
@s21: Now just create a hotkey for CTRL+V so you only have to press one key to paste it in :)
I encourage all of you to do it.
It TOTALLY won't affect your chances of getting the BOC.
Honest.
I think it's worth it to save $5.
@s21: If I hadn't used my $5 coupon on caramels earlier that would be my plan. I've been prepped like that before but never made it into the checkout page.
You bet! WOOT!
@anotherhiggins: I second that! Save it up, watch for the BOC, click the big "I want one" button, and don't worry about how long it will take to enter your info and the coupon number! There will be PLENTY of BOCs to go around anyway! No competition at ALL!
Darn! I just used mine on the YackTrax for our trip to Tahoe next month. Too bad. Guess I'll have to order my BOC without it. But don't worry about me. Everyone else should just go ahead and use theirs!
what do i look like, a schlomo?
I've done it before (so it is possible).
I've already used all of my coupons this time though.
@drsilentg: You mean a character that I played in the 1990s musical Fame! The Musical in high school? Or...wait...
Considering I often forget to enter my Woot password and enter my paypal password instead, nope.
I hear if you do use it, you end up getting 2. Really... give it a go.
I definitely would.
Has the BOC even come up yet? I haven't noticed it. Though if woottracker missed it I'm going to be upset
Yes sir
It's the only motivation I have to spend money on crap.
What coupon? I am just not here enough to deserve a coupon from jumbowoot....oh poor undeserving me! But if i did have one, then no....
@meow57: Did you post a deal in 2011? If so, check your junk email.
I did it. I liked it. I'd do it again.
I did a few months ago on the choose-your-own-ending story.
My last 4 BoCs have been freebies or have come sans shipping charges thanks to coupon codes.
don't be scared! My OCD enjoys all the black triangles on the right :).
n/m, almost all!
I would try it but I'm kinda lousy at finding deals so no coupon here, seriously I don't know how you guys find things so fast. I notice a decent price on something and its already on the top deals page. I swear deals.woot is inhabited by price ninjas or something =)
I already used it on a long-sleeve shirt so I couldn't even if I wanted to... which I wouldn't.
Yes everyone else should use that coupon or else it would go to waste.
Think of the children. Or something.
Not had a JumboWoot note since 11/11. Perhaps I've worn out my welcome.
What on Earth is a BOC??
@rbradley51: I guess you're new here. A BOC is the treasured Bag of Crap that can only be obtained during wootoffs (and only if you get lucky really).
@krazyk412: Not true. There are other times throughout the year there are BOCs.. however they are named other things, the idea is the same.
And to OP, heck yeah. I got my Santa's Sack O' Crap for free this year using a voucher.
Are BOCs priced the same every time? And if so, how much? I don't have a coupon since I'm new to the deals.woot side of things. I'm wondering if it is even worth staying up to try and get one. But if I did have a coupon, I wouldn't use it on BOC, I'd use it to get a reckoning shirt before they fully transition to the new blanks.
@kllangellier: They are $3 + $5 shipping. Total is $8 every time.
not a chance
@druke: Thanks!! Sounds like a super good deal.
@kllangellier: Depends on your definition of "super deal." You haven't gotten one yet ;)
@druke: Well, how much do you get in a BOC? lol. If it is only one item, then I suppose it wouldn't be a deal at all. But if I really don't like what I get, I can always donate it, right?
@kllangellier: You will always get at least 3 things. The last two I got I got cupcake and doughnut flavored lip gloss, recycled plastic bags, a headband, a remote control outlet range extender (no base unit).. junk list goes on. Most of the stuff I just give to my niece and nephew. The rest usually finds the circular filing cabinet.
@druke: Wait, hold on... You got recycled plastic bags??? like, shopping bags? Or bags made of plastic that are meant to be reused? Hmm, maybe BOCs aren't that great after all?
@kllangellier: Bags made from recycled plastic.. not the grocery bags :)
@druke: Ok, not as bad as I thought. So maybe if I can manage to get one, I should get ONLY one, and not go all WooHoo and get 3. It'll be like Random Shirts, only not... Haha
@kllangellier: Hate to be the buzz kill but you can only buy 1. The thought is you buy 1 $1 P.o.C and just want 3 @ $3.
Oh, ok. So when people talk about getting 3, they are either being totally sarcastic, or then me they got one on 3 separate occasions?
On a side note, you are pretty awesome and quite knowledgeable. :)
@jeffrjohn: Shhhhhh... Do you or do you not want a BOC? Pay not attention to the man behind the curtain.
