I'm a sucker for surprises! God only knows what'll show up given the range of things they sell! $46 of stuff for $18 It's the perfect price point that I was curious enough to take a punt! As long as it's not a collection of iPhone accessories!

g0g

Good job the more expensive one was already sold out when I discovered them!

iggy

I haven't a clue why but couldn't resist :-)

Thargor

Couldn't resist either, wish Id known about the more expensive option in time, I want a helicopter!

Skerries

Ordered one, thanks OP. Couldn't help myself, the mystery intrigues me.

Paddy_man

Damn u BA, making me buy one of these lucky bags..

Will be lucky if customs charge us less than the cost of the lucky bag itself....

fergiesfolly

It's back on again at $57 http://offers.dealextreme.com/team.php?id=1720

Looking at their previous deals they don't seem that good. For example, they offered one 7gram lip balm (random flavour) for $6! You can get 7gram lip balm in the supermarket for 50c. http://offers.dealextreme.com/team.php?id=1722

That link you posted is sold out. This one is still active, though.

There's also one for $143.19 if anyone is feeling adventurous. I don't think I'll bother with either, but would be interested to see what people get!

ED E

Great way for them to shift dud stock. Highly doubt you'll get anything good.

Cannot believe people would buy something like this :eek:.
You are getting goods to a value that they have put on, for an cost amount they believe will be a bargain to you?
Reminds me of the "auctions" in town some years ago where the guys claimed the bags value was 10 times the cost but when you got home and opened it, it was worth half, at best.
100/1 for anyone here to get a smartphone, very unlikely there would be a helicopter or anything else big in there due to the shipping costs involved.

Ah now in fairness this isn't quite in the league of the sack of crap! I don't expect to, but wouldn't be surprised if someone got a very basic r/c gadget of some sort. I picked up a helicopter in China a couple of years ago for about $10 and I'm sure yer man could have gone lower. Plus DX have had helis in their deals for a little bit more than that before. I buy lots of random stuff from them anyway, so discounted random stuff I'm prepared to take a punt on! Smartphone I'd say is more likely in the more expensive bags.

In fairness to DE, compared to Boffer, its like premiership & conference.

His incredulity and attitude sums up exactly how I felt about paying to get empty MP3 boxes from Boffer - or that time I bought the 20 item sack of crap and got 20 handbags :mad: - he was the voice of our generation.

In the spirit of equality, I'm in for the DealExtreme 'Lucky Bag' - I was screwed over enough by Boffer that it's only fair that I give the Chinese a chance at doing the same....

That doesn't sound too bad if it's true.. Although that makes up three of the 2 to 5 items for $57.09...

20 handbags!! were they good/crap?

OT i know but, what happened with boffer?

I got a few good bits back when they had great bargains!

o/t but...

Meh, some were cool - I think they were left over from a specific bag of crap that was to do with bags - there was a really nice carpet bag, there were these snazzy sideways opening briefcase/writing desk things, but most were a little cheesey. Some were obviously some sort of knock-off of designer labels, none of them seemed to be of great quality but the majority seemed quite okay.

If I were a girl, aged anywhere between 6 and 60 I probably would have been delighted - a bag of every colour under the sun.

As a man, it was more than a little disappointing.

I did get some good stuff from them at the start, but they easily spent a year circling the drain, offering the same ten products over and over - and that translated into underwhelming bags of crap when they finally did come along. I have a box sitting across from me full of skype phones and other rubbish they sent in bags of crap that I keep meaning to bring to secondhand shops or put on jumbletown.

I just have this fear I'm about to enter a similar masochistic spiral with DX...

Skerries

yeah i think they should have had a gender specific lucky bag like you got as a kid
Blue for boys and pink for girls
do they still do those btw?

I haven't seen the colour specific ones but the lucky bags are so bad now. Maybe I just remember them as better than they were.

Thargor

Some friends of mine in the UK that I tipped about this at the time have started receiving their bags, no sign of mine.

Any hints on what they got??

Thargor

iPhone case and a DS cheatcart is all one guy saw before he ran out the door for work, he said there were other boxes but he had to go.

Ms Happy

Haven't received mine yet either, really hoping for no iPhone stuff!!

Shame to see trash like this for a $57 bag...

.. for those of who dismissing the idea of lucky bags / boxes, I remember being hugely impressed with an iBOOD Lucky Box.

Ms Happy

That's as bad as the Boffer sack of crap!!

Oh dear

Davy

Rough exchange that was about €45! I would be sick.... if you wanted exactly those items you probably pay half that amount
