Ugh. How do people swoop them up so quickly?! Do some people have bots purchase them?

Not that I actually saw the BoC come up this time. So I take it then that BoC's are not always sold at the end of a Woot-Off? The current one is still going on...

I hit buy now within 2 seconds of that going off and I still had no chance. I dunno how people get them, seems like it's just luck.

Yeah, I checked the woot.com forum topic on the current Woot-Off to see some people's reactions to the BoC sell-out, and it does seem like luck.

Not that I would have been able to have bought a BoC since I wasn't at my home PC at the time, but I will be sure to have my Wootalyzer open during the entire duration of every Woot-Off.

But really, things are getting ridiculous when buyouts of BoC's happen within 2 seconds of their posting. Maybe programs like Wootalyzer should just be disabled, and people should be forced to visit the page to buy BoC's and the like...

So am I right in that there will not be another BoC posting even though the Woot-Off is still going on, or another Woot-Off is occuring back-to-back with the previous one?
