This is my first event like this, anyone know how many items are typically in a Woot! Off? or maybe how long they last?

Thanks,

This can't be the last item, can it? I thought the wootoff was at least 24 hours long.

From Wikipedia:

In lieu of typical product sales, Woot occasionally offers the ?Bag O? Crap? (or ?BOC?), a blind grab bag that includes dollar store items and can also randomly include more expensive electronics items. The BOC is marketed as one bag and shipping worth $5.00, and up to three "craps" costing $1.00 each. Orders are recommended purchased in quantities of three craps to minimize the percentage cost of shipping and maximize the probability of getting something of greater value. The "BOC" typically sells out within minutes of furious ordering.

Officially, the Bag of Crap is sold under the title of "Random Crap." Woot has also used the "Random Crap" moniker in more targeted sales, such as a random selection of desktop and wall calendars or NASCAR race scanners. Thus, a "true" Bag of Crap is only denoted by the presence of "Random Crap" in the product title without any other descriptive notation.

Since "BOCs" are often referenced in the Woot forums, Woot's forum software filters the text to spell out tongue-in-cheek phrases with the same initials, such as "Blinged-out cabbage", "Braille on Cookies", and others. A similar phenomenon occurs when a user types "refurb," which filters to "refurb (rox0rz!)," a nod to the controversial popularity of refurbished woots. In the past, the term "refurb" was changed to "Hurray! A refurb!" by the filter.
