BoC = Bag of Crap (or any combination of words starting with B and C)

They occasionaly through it up there for purchase, and you can buy it for a very low price but you have no idea what you are getting. Have to be fast because they sellout very quickly.

Unlike the current item, as far as I can tell, they've sold two in about 15 minutes.

woot.com sucks. another fantastic idea, i mean fantasy idea because you can design your sales any way you want, but if you sell it too low and dont make a profit you will suck. woot probably had some nice startup money, or found some real good 'off the truck' deal but theyre nowhere near worth worrying about anymore.

I saw the BOC and clicked 'I want one' but when it loaded it was the gaming buttkicker. Missed by seconds... :(

Oh well, probably useless junk anyway. :p

If the BOC went though, should it show up on your account immediately? I thought it went though, but it's nowhere to be found.

you're in line, if a woot becomes available.
we're basically sold out, but if someone ahead of you gets denied, we'll sell it to whoever's in line.


booooooo :(

$8 gamble, could be very very much worth it.

you mean 6$

because 1$ bag + 5$ = 6$

also, it seems more like a HUGE gamble and you dont even know the odds.

I was able to get my BOC, spammin F5 and saw it pop up finally. I think I barely slipped in though. Also mine was 8.66 due to taxes in TX :(
