Use Wootstalker and the forums. Both refresh far faster than the front page. Start mashing F5 when it gets to 10% or less.
Meanwhile, make sure you are logged in by clicking your name in the upper right and go to “your account”. the system auto-logs you out every 30 minutes to an hour.
Finally, make sure your payment and shipping details are defaulted in the system with Amazon.
VOP for me… 
Nope, Sonoran desert preserve. Ridgeback trail.
Mashing F5 in the forums is what did it for me!
vestibule does indeed favor meeee. box of cheerios - yum
The little lady got her first BOC…and then I scored one too. The family that woots together craps together! Merry Disappointment everyone!
I love it. I’m lucky to have my MIL around in the winter. She watches the kids while I hike once or twice a week.
I use the forum, but as mentioned be sure to log in and have your payment stuff in order. And use the link path from the forum notice. On my Mac, linking in from the notification or from a refreshed tab loses the payment info setup.
I never knew this! Thanks!
Thanks! I appreciate the information!
Nice. I was stationed in Tucson and met my wife in Phoenix. Never did a lot of hiking up in Phoenix, we did walk the trails at Agua Caliente near Tucson with our GSPs quite often though.
Stop giving away the secrets!!
But seriously, WootStalker + Forums is the only way to go.
Keep WootStalker up and the Forum up on with the Woot-Off tag list open (Woot-Off - Woot)
As soon as something sells out on WootStalker, refresh that forum tag list until a new item shows at the top.
If it’s boc, then click click click click
I managed to sign in through Amazon and get all the way to the cart before getting blocked by the 31 day rule. Probably could have snagged a BOC otherwise.
Although I’ve hiked camelback! Amazing view of the city but so crowded. Do you live in Phoenix?
Anytime. Good luck on the next one!
Very nice! This state has some mighty fine trails.
I saw the Woot-Off last night but have been away all day. Just sat down to the computer & opened WootStalker. Less than a minute later, the long-desired bag appeared. “I WANT ONE”, I gleefully pressed.
Only to find I wasn’t logged in.
So, quickly, I did that, and found myself in the Vestibule for a couple minutes.
Only to be notified that my credit card hadn’t been updated and they were now sold out.
Lesson: Keep your credit card updated. Crap. (…or more accurately, no crap.)
So I’ve never been able to buy one of these BOCs. Are they really worth the trouble or do you guys do this just for the thrill?
Toin coss on that one.
The thrill is the main draw.
Generally speaking, you get at least $10 worth (usually more) of stuff in them. Whether or not you can use that stuff is another question…
It’s all in the hunt and strategy … I think you get your money’s worth, although it might be stuff you dont want or need.
I am so emotional over missing this one… My feelings are really hurt.
