Midnight box has their mystery box available. It's $6 shipped and they take paypal. On SD it says there will be an xbox360 and an advent home theater in the lot but I don't know where they saw that.

There were people who won a home theater last time but I've never gotten this.

If this is your first time ordering, put my login name (same as here) in the referral box and I'll get points there (I don't know if they are useful - I'll delete this part if it's against the rules). In any case, you don't have to, of course. I'll give you back kma if you want.

it says it on the page as well


The Mystery Box is Back!

So, you’re here to see the "world famous" Midnightbox.com Mystery Box. Well, here it is! Yeah, we know... it doesn't look that impressive to us either. But go ahead and order one anyway.

What is the Mystery Box, you ask? Well, we can’t really tell you what's inside, but we can say that you will at least get the value of what you paid for it. But really, what is the value of a dollar nowadays? And hey, for the fun of it all, we threw in some really great stuff, including an Xbox 360, an Advent Home Theater System, and a bunch of other stuff (we hope our dirty socks didn’t make it in there).

So, go ahead and tell a few friends, neighbors, and even some people you don’t like. Then feel free to gloat or bash us in the forums for the things you get in your Mystery Box.

can someone explain this site to me i dont get how it works does everyone who buys teh mystery box get the item? or do they pick a few people to get it?

kyks17

10-03-2006 17:11:59

how the heck do we answer their mystery question and get the 5000 points? and also its showing as $1 for me...perhaps $5 shipping tho, dunno

PsychoAU

10-03-2006 17:24:34

You would answer the question in the forum, but several people already have. It is $1 with $5 shipping. I ordered mine.

Is there any proof that people actually received something other than a box of crap?

hehehhehe

12-03-2006 10:08:00

I KMA'ed you guys that said you used my name, I haven't gotten points or anything but whatever.

Here's what you can expect to get in the box, there's definitely some crap in there but I don't expect it to be worse than the last bag of crap with the cheap universal remote.

I'm linking the image since it's big.

Man, so many of those seem like outright scams. Like the 25 feedback person (not even 100%) who claims to be giving away tons of cash
http//cgi.ebay.com/75-000-MYSTERY-BOX-AUCTION-BONUS-CASH_W0QQitemZ5676553857QQcategoryZ102534QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem[]http//cgi.ebay.com/75-000-MYSTERY-BOX-AUCTION-BONUS-CASH_W0QQitemZ5676553857QQcategoryZ102534QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Of course, if some dumbass does pay $70,000, giving away that cash should be no problem. I bet he's shill bidding with that private feedback ID. How do these usually work out, anyone know?

I got crap. A keychain mini PDA, a memory card slot cleaner, and a decent pen. It's okay I guess, I would've been pissed had I gotten the mini-screwdriver set or the hands-free shit, which is really 99 cent store stuff.

Yeah, it just changed to show that it was delivered at the company mailroom this morning. I'll have to pick it up when I get to work tomorrow. Since it came USPS, I'm guessing it's just the regular junk (

I knew mine was going to suck when I asked gf where my package was and opened her purse to get it out. Got USB warmer and mem slot cleaner.

PsychoAU

16-03-2006 17:38:22

I got the cheap handsfree thing and a USB fan. The fan is kinda neat, but pretty loud because it has thin flexible plastic blades so it doesn't cut through the air very well... And it doesn't even push that much air. Oh well, I still think it is cool. Kinda wish I could have gotten that cup warmer.

justinag06

17-03-2006 10:02:25

you don't have to pay

you can bid 3,500,000 to get 35,000

and when you win just not pay

that is of course assuming that some one will be paying 3 million dollars for 1 million, when they do win

PsychoAU

17-03-2006 10:48:36

Umm... you get the bonus for just bidding, but the winner does have to pay the winning bid... The idea is that you don't want to be the last one to bid. At least that is what I gathered from it...

justinag06

17-03-2006 11:12:46

yeah so it's fucking stupid to assume the last person to bid is just going to say fuck it and pay 3 million dollars.

PsychoAU

17-03-2006 11:16:09

Well, I mean that the last bidder won't get the bonus. So when you bid, you are hoping that someone else bids after you. If not, you are stuck. )

17-03-2006 12:45:54

I finally got mine today. It was one of those chinese made ripoff multi game in ones. Where the controller plugs into the RCA jacks and the games are built into the controller cept there are 3 controllers, one that is exactly like an n64 controller, one thats an old sega genesis controller, and one thats a light gun. I havent tried it yet ill let you know what its like tomorrow.
