Why not, it's only $10.

The biggest problem that I see is that this company only sends out these Mystery boxes.

To cover shipping, company costs, and make a profit takes out of the money.

So the Average Gift Price < $10, probably closer to $5 if that.

This company cannot use this as a lead in trying to get you to buy other things because this is all that they sell.

Sad to say the Lottery has beter pay-back odds, and at least if you get cash you know you can use that.

I wonder if a shrewd animal shelter could use this to send off animals about to get the axe. They are not endangered species, so not on the "exclusions" list. Just imagine, your "mystery" something is a new full-grown labrador/poodle/dalmation/dachsund mix! even thougth your apartment doesn't allow pets! Sorry, no returns or refunds (BTW ... as the new owner, you are now required to have the animal spayed or neutered, and make sure it has all of its vaccinations. Woo hoo!).

This is a bit too random for me.

Why not take the 10 dollars and use it to actually buy what you need, rather than getting something random.

If you look at their Facebook page you can read some of the things that people have received:

Ex:

My 4 somethings arrived today: 1. RC mini helicopter. 2. RC car. 3. Matching knit hat/gloves/muffler. 4. A small wooden box filled with 1921 "Double Eagle" $20 gold coins.

BUT someone stole all the gold coins before the box was delivered!!!

Ex:

I got my 3 somethings today. They were a RC UFO (like the kind at those mall stands) which is pretty fun, a pair of charter club slipper boots (way too small for me, a chirstmas gift maybe), and a handheld sewing machine. I'll probably order more soon.

Your avatar is a girl with pink hair? Me thinks you have much bigger problems than the size of your condoms!

I ordered two somethings that arrived today. I got some Sony earbuds that sell on Amazon for $7.35. Not bad, but not a great deal either. I also got a motorcycle pocket watch very similar to this one. Mine is just silver and has a little more detail. Not worth the $20 I spent on them, but I'm not surprised.

The site shows they have given a $25 Exxon Gas Card and an IPOD shuffle in their Mystery box

I got a Fossil watch -

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ENPKUS

But its obviously used, with scratches and scuffs, and an aftermarket ugly leather band. I cant really complain, cuz im sure its worth more than $10, but i kind of expected something brand new :-/

from their website: • Your something will most likely be brand new, though it may also be refurbished or antique ...
