Fern My MIL got them in a store in the area somewhere. They do not say woot but they are the same ones.

This is a phony woot-off. So far the second item has run out and then been put back up four times. I think I can prolly go to sleep for a few hours and it will still be there...

I finally got it. Its an April Fools' Day gag. Last year they sold the B.O.C. all day for a million dollars a bag.

This year it appears to be a battery to usb powered charger...thingie. It is a lot more money on Amazon, but I still don't need it.

Random Crap
$1.00

I knew they were going to pull that off. In a way it was fair for the people who kept looking to get the crap

Bad news. I checked Woot again, and another BOC is gone. Looks like that maybe the end of the day's sale. 6000 bags are gone.

I thought this was a good gag. Did you listen to their podcast? It was their Woot-off theme, but with different words. "This really looks like a woot-off, but didn't we just have a woot-off. Well, you better check the calendar, because I'm not exactly sure...." -- something like that.

I thought they might add in something good, rather than just the same item again & again. So, I kept checking back, and there was the Bag of Crap! I clicked on it, chose 3, put in my credit card security code, and it looked like it went through. And then, an hour later, Woot said sorry, sold out, your order didn't go through. That was a good April Fool's joke -- not!!!

(To be clear, there really was a Bag of Crap offer. It's just that I was one of the last orders in, so there wasn't enough inventory for my order.)
