It's Olevia. That's why it's in the BOC.

I believe it's $8, you pay $1 per "bag of crap" and can get a maximum of 3 "craps" making it $3 total for the BoC itself, then $5 for shipping.

I believe they changed it this last woot off. It's now a BOC for $3 and you can only order one. Shipping at $5 makes the total $8 shipped.

For something like that, does Woot report it as a windfall to the IRS?

They automatically ship three now, though, right?

Why? It is a regular sale. Frankly, the big ticket item mixed in there is just a marketing tactic. That $2000 TV nets them 100x more in advertising. I think it's a brilliant tactic too. They unload excess "crap" out of their warehouse, at probably a profit no less, and generate huge buzz and advertising by putting some random big ticket item in there lottery style. If there were no chance to get anything good and everyone got some dollar store junk, you'd think it would sell even 1/4 as much? I doubt it.Originally posted by: tk149

Sorry, wrong term. Prize? Like when someone wins the lottery.

I find the Woot BOC to be quite funny, but how it does not violate the sweepstakes laws is beyond me.
