i'm sure i'll get red just because some people don't like mystery boxes. but for those of you who do, this is worth it!
please remember this is just for fun. it's like gambling - if you don't like gambling, you don't do it, right? same with the box. i just don't want everyone thinking i live for this! thanks.
I was amused by the list of things your something may not be, I love that adult services are listed right at the top of the list, lol! So, all of you hoping for that will be sorely disappointed. Also, no embryos or embryonic cells...

Looks kind of neat. I like that they show what they have sent out to other people.

"a boat is a boat, but the mystery box it could be anything, even a boat"
I was going to be in... but then I saw there was no chance of it being what I really needed, a Drug test circumvention aid.

I'm sorely tempted. I have lots of somethings already, though. I probably don't need another. Probably. Green for the fun of it, though!

I'm not giving this post red but I don't understand why anyone, no less FW people, would pay $10 and not know in advance what the item is and if they're getting a good deal. Seems to me they'll just throw a "dollar store" item in a box and ship it. Good luck to all those ordering and I really do hope you get something worth close to what you paid.

No endangered species!?!? What kinda bull#@%@ is that!
I wasn't going to do it, but I clicked on the google checkout link, entered my password, and my credit card info was already there, and my address was already there, and all I had to do was click a button. Woops. Impulse buy? I even forgot to unclick promotional emails. I feel like they made that too easy to not buy. Good thing Amazon doesn't use google checkout.
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!).
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.
my mother ordered 3. she got hers today - a Fossil watch (some kind of atari thing on the watch game?), a 48 piece art set (paints, glue, sponge, markers, etc.) and an 18 piece haircutting set. meh, not bad.!

"We also need some way to make us look official, like we got all the answers." "How bout some gold bracelets?"

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.
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 ...

I got the Principal electric razor also. I'm OK with paying $10 shipped for it.
