What Did You Get In Your “Mystery Box” Or “Bag Of Crap”?

by Sheldon Nesdale on 2 March 2010

Last year I paid $10 for a bag of crap and got a 4 point powerboard and a 24pack of Twix bars. Not bad.

Very very fun and exciting opening it infront of my workmates to see what I had bought.

What did you get in your bag of crap or "mystery box"?

I am a guy and I got a pair of gel girls shoes in my 1 day bag of crap. Some things are mens and some are womans, and some are both. Would be good to have a differential. Though a lucky dip is a lucky dip.

Being a sucker for mystery I got the free deal off day sale last week, and there it was, sitting mysteriously packaged on my doorstep this morning, what would it be… it was like pass the parcel, several layers and excitement rising… and revealed was… a battery powered fan! And I have to say I kinda like it! Thats got to be a first for any of my mystery bags! Hooray for day sale!
It’ll fit nicely in our mini size campervan. Now waiting on my 3 deals batteries to arrive so I can check out if it actually works!

My two mystery deals came today from daysale, and were also alright – An egg separator (great for making meringues!) and a “smooth legs” hair removal system which my girlfriend had wanted me to buy anyway!

Don’t make the same mistake I did Michael and try it on your own legs. I jammed one of those machines on my leg hair and had to rip it off taking huge chunks of hair. Very painful. :( But boy oh boy that 5cm square patch sure was smooth! (but bleeding) :)

‘black friday mystery deal’ was a LOAD OF CRAP!
i know it was still a mystery deal but they made out it would atleast be something with a teeeny bit of use
I got a pair of XL womens underwear. whats the likelyhood of that being of any use.I cant even give them away.
I give up on mystery deals!

I know what you mean – got a book which doesnt interest me at all – not worth the money I paid.

I got an eggseperator from the 1day mystery last week.
From the black friday one I got a Spiderman Bag and a loreal mascara – I don’t need ethier but deffo worth at least 20 bucks.. might put up on trade me. But I guess you win some lose some and thats the fun – at least you have more chance of getting something usefull from these lucky dips than winning lotto.

Really disapointed in the mystery deals… I got the fan which looks as though it would strugle to be worth enough to see in a dollar shop. Not ‘worth at least the cost of the shipping’ like they said. Won’t watse my money on that again

Who was that from Caroline?

Is that the promise they made you? “worth at least the cost of shipping”?
