BOC night on WOOT (DEAD!)

My order status page actually refreshed with order denied despite getting in at like 1:01am & after 91 minutes of waiting , but then I got my confirmation e-mail about 10 seconds later & it showed up on my order page right after that so I scored!

First successful BOC for me out of a whole bunch of tries! 🙂

Edit: Got mine in at 1am EDT on the nose & its still refreshing too.... servers are maxed out.

How come we should buy 3?

I only bought 1 🙁

You pay $5 shipping no matter how many you buy, and they're only $1, so it just makes sense to buy 3.

You bought a bag of crap :laugh:

It's random junk that Woot has in their facility. Usually, it's stuff that they have sold before. Some people have gotten big items like TVs, projectors, and etc. That's why people buy the bag of crap 😛
They even had a few dozen Wiis around release date.
 
This FedEx Smartpost shipping is just brutal. I've never seen a less-efficient means of shipping - my package keeps getting hung up at "sortation centers".

I'm still wondering about my own tracking status:

July 19, 2007 1:10 PM Sortation Center Departure LOS ANGELES, CA
July 18, 2007 4:14 AM Sortation Center Departure DALLAS, TX
July 18, 2007 2:16 AM Sortation Center Arrival LOS ANGELES, CA
July 16, 2007 6:52 PM Pickup CARROLLTON, TX

Maybe my package has some kind of quantum flux device that enables time travel? 😀
 
I got my BOC this morning - I got a really high-quality daypack, a stupid G4 iPod case with flexible arms and legs (it's called an iToy or something), an American eagle mousepad, and a very nice wooden humidor set (this thing seems pretty fancy - I will either re-gift it or eBay it).

I got the same day-pack & mousepad but instead of the humidor which would have been cool I got a retail copy of MS Rallysport 2 for X-Box (I don't own one) & some retarded plastic collectable figure called "hypno" ... wonder why I got 4 craps instead of the promised 3?

Oh well ... I actually needed the daypack & it alone was worth the $8. 🙂
 
I guess they gave everyone 4 items....and it seems the eagle mousepad was it.

I got a nice samsonite camera case (works for newer/smaller camcorders too), a flying toy (??😛), and Counterstrike for XBOX (even though I dont own a console 😛)
Easily worth the money.

Time to gift/sell on e-bay!
