I’m a bit sceptical about this “Mystery box”, I’ve never won one before. I mean, in this day and age of wacky auctions, it could damn near be anything! You just don’t know, until you open it. Then I thought, what about terrorists? Wouldn’t this be the perfect plan? I couldn’t image what they might send to some innocent person in Kansas. Anyone know how close the Administration is keeping an eye on these “Mystery boxes”, in fighting the war on terror?
Check the sellers feedback. It’s it’s a high number, or a lwoer number but all positive, odds are it won’t blow up in your face.
I’m not saying it will be good, it just won’t blow up. Enjoy your box of rocks. 
The feedback was pretty good.
I’ve been curious about these for a while (they sound like an ordinary, non-dangerous scam to me).
Let us know how it turns out, if you survive.
I’ll be very interested to find out what’s in your mystery box. I’ve seen them, but have never been brave enough to bid. May I ask how much you paid for it? Was it for a certain product/company?
Well, no Anthrax was found. I bid about $240. I ended up with a Lexmark printer, waffle maker, coffee maker, a watch, an Adidas deodorant kit, pocket organizer, cd case, and a beard trimmer. All in all, none of it added up to the value I paid, so I lost there. I may just end up re-gifting, and or donating to local places.
Well, at least terrorists didn’t jump out and burn down your city.
So let me get this straight. You ended paying $240 for no idea of what you’re getting?
I’m way too cynical to try something like that.
Yeah, it’s not something I’d normally do, but I was intrigued.
Personnaly, I’m going to congratulate the OP, because I, like plenty of other posters, wondered about the content of these mistery boxes. She spent 240 $ for the noble cause of fighting our ignorance and satisfaying our curiosity…
WHAT WAS IT?!?!?!?! WHAT WAS IT!>?!?!!
Do you have it yet?
Just imagine me on Christmas eve…
There’s a sucker born every minute.
Hmmm…what could I do with a $240 waffle iron? (I really do need a waffle iron.)
[Jack Bauer]A Lexmark printer, a waffle maker, and an Adidas deodorant kit?!? Listen very carefully: You need to get a pair of wire cutters, a voltmeter, a laptop computer and a standard printer cable, a gallon of bleach, and at least of pound of those styrofoam packing peanuts.
DO IT NOW!!![/Jack Bauer]
Wow. That must have been a really big box. Was everything new? And what would possess someone to just throw all that stuff into a box instead of trying to sell some of them separately? Wait, I think you already answered that question … because someone might pay $240 for stuff that’s not worth that much.
Well, like I said, it’s not something I’d normally do. It may have been stupid, but then again, buying a new car that depreciates can be pretty stupid too. And in that case, people know what they’re getting and lose thousands driving out of the dealership, so I don’t feel too bad to be honest. Especially since it’s my first, and last mystery box. I wanted to try it, and I don’t tell y’all what you do with your money!
So… what kind of feedback do you intend to leave?
I don’t think you’re stupid, and apologize if I made it sound like I thought you were. I think I’m partly just in awe at your bravery. I want my own mystery box now!
HOw does terrorism enter into it?
I should think that a terrorists would sell seder plates on Ebay. ;j
I was thinking of modern day terrorists, unless they’re shipping tv dinners to go with it.
yellowval, it’s all good. I probably shouldn’t have said how much I bid.
