“Since its launch in September Boffer has captured the imagination of the online consumers through its diverse product range and knock-down bargain prices.

“We offer high-street products at a fraction of the high-street price and people looking for a better deal should make Boffer their number one online shopping site.”

I love boffer, although it's the reason I'm now skint.

[Simmo]

I've always seen good stuff on Boffer but never bought anything. I should have really especially during the sell-off.

[joewarne]

whenever ive looked, its just seems like there is always crap on there

[2345876]

Just realised Jon, Friday 14th isn't a date

[Jon]

Thats as it was sent to me in the press release, straight copy and paste from the email, ill try to get some clarification.

[2345876]

Ah thanks Jon

They aren't the most professional of websites.
On their last release detailing the sell off they said it started at 25:59PM
Then there was the whole fiasco about what you had to do to be able to get the free software. First they said you had to buy a BOC to get this £49.99 product for free.
Then once all the BOCs sold they changed the rule so only people with certain amount of kudos points could enter, then that was scrapped too. Then the price of the freebie went down to $49.99 but in the promotional info it said $59.99. Then it turns out to be a bit of software that won't work on my iMac anyway.

I bought a few things from them in the sell off, some things turn up quick, some slow.
If you see something you want it is well worth getting, just don't read too much into what they say anywhere on the site.

Since the sell off finished there hasn't been 1 decent thing on there.
I hope it picks up as I'm sick of the pound shop rubbish they seem to be pumping out at the moment.

I've never had a complaint about anything I have bought from them though.

[Jon]

They work in a similar way to pound shops, buying end of lines in bulk from traders who cant shift the stock, or warehouses owners who want a warehouse emptying yesterday, I was involved in a clearance in a old job and it was rather fun seeing what bargins were chucked out!

Having just checked my emails, it appears this week is a free give away week, with a sell off due on Sunday

[kevan321]

And if you follow them on twitter, you'll get free delivery throughout the sell off.

[ndev2k]

The sell off is over but the BAG OF CRAP is available today

Just 'bagged' mine and they say one of them will have a 50" HDTV in it.

Can't wait to see what rubbish I have just bought

[beezer123]

Same here.
Only reason I bought it was incase I got a TV.

[christoski]

I've got one...I guarentee there will be a lot of those power kites going into the BOCs!

[claire80]
